$10,000 DREAM page C49

"I would add to my Hal-
loween decorations with mov-
ing figures, spider webs, noisy,
scary things, and I would want
to have a haunted house. I
wouldn't want to scare the lit-
tle kids too much, but I would
have witches and mummies,
strobe lights and other scary
stuff!" she says.
Costumes, of course, would
be required. "For myself, I like
to be scary and unrecogniz-
able, and a little bit gross."
Trayce would hire a Hal-
loween band so everyone
could dance, and have a
karaoke machine in one room.
Traditional games, such as
bobbing for apples and pinning
the tail on the witch, would
be played.
At her $10,000 party, kids
would munch on pizzas and
jello molds made in the shapes
of hearts, hands and brains.
Adults would dine on sushi,
grilled chicken breast, beef
tenderloin, salads, and shrimp.
While adults sipped cocktails,
the kids would have a special
"witch's brew" punch.
"I would send everyone
home with a picture of them
in their costume, and the kids
would get a great goody bag
filled with stuff from the Ori-
ental Trading catalog, like fake
teeth, fingernails, tattoos and
candy," says Trayce.
Dr. Lanny and Lisa Foster of
Oak Park would throw an In-
dependence Day party,
"though it might not be exact-
ly on July 4th, but on a beauti-
ful night in July," says Lisa.
They would rent the
Brownie II, a 65-foot party
boat on Lake St. Clair.
"I would invite 20 couples,
and we would start early,
around 4, so we could have
lots of time on the water," says
Lisa. "I would ask them to

come attired in bathing suits
and tuxedos, and everything
in between!"
Lisa would have everyone
enjoy cocktails and hors d'oeu
vres until around 7, and then
have a buffet supper of light
delicacies, such as pastas, sal-
ads, fish and cold tenderloin.
A lemon sorbet would finish
the meal. She would like it to
be catered by Rick Halberg of
Emily's in Northville, who
used to have RIK's in West
Bloomfield and Bloomfield
Township.
"I would love to have a DJ
to keep it going for fun and
games, and I'd like everyone
to keep dancing all night
long," she says.
Lisa would decorate the
boat with red, white and blue
balloons and tinsel, keeping it
fun and festive, nautical and
all-American. And she would
give partygoers a favor as a
memory of their fun voyage.
Sue Sivak of Huntington
Woods has a different kind of
voyage in mind. As owner of
Barbara's Paper Bag in Birm-
ingham, she has a bird's eye
view of all kinds of parties be-
ing planned. For herself, she
would plan a trip, and take her
friends with her.
"With_$10,000, I would fly
to Paris with 10 close friends
and have a huge shindig for a
40th birthday celebration,"
Sue says. "I would put them
all up at a hotel in the city of
Paris for a long weekend. We
would visit museums, shop, sit
outdoors sipping coffee at
cafes, go to the theater, and
we would have Saturday night
dinner at Maxim's."
With $10,000 for a trip or a
party, let your imagination
take flight. Accurate or not for
the actual cost, it's what party
dreams are made of. ❑
