Rosie and Lithilien bring flowers and breakfast
There has been much discussion on the fan club boards about the fabled MuuMuu. What is a MuuMuu? Deliz kindly modelled one for the benefit of those who might be unsure. Deliz and Lithilien discuss party preparation plans
While Ward took a shower, Rosie (later joined by Lithilien) delivered some flowers and breakfast bagels. After they'd gone Ward emerged from the shower, eyed the flowers near his bed, and then me, rather suspiciously. Deliz models a MuuMuu

Pip prepares Arabee's tattoo
It wasn't hard to guess which room was being used for preparations with stickers like "Dude!" "Honk if you love hobbits" and "MuMu's R Us" appearing on the entrance door. The girls notice a familiar landmark from their room window
The girls had all decided to wear henna Tengwar tattoo's to the party so work started early on getting these ready. The door to Room 504
Samwise Arandel, Val and Arabee noticed a familiar landmark from the hotel room window...

View from the Girl's Room
Des offers some help to Silver (is it a sponge? is it a MuuMuu enhancer? All suggestions on a postcard please). Rosie admires Val's Henna tattoo
From the girls' room window the legendary "Hollywood" landmark could be seen. Des offers assistance to Silver

The girls chat about who might show at the party
Des and Silver recreate the prelude of the death of Boromir with their "Horns of Gondor". The overall sound is more like a recreation of the "Torturing of Gollum" Pip plays her harp
Pippin's Scarf, Pixie, Arabee and Lithilien chat about who might show at the party. If Orlando Bloom were to hear the conversation he would make sure he went somewhere else! Horns Of Gondor
To calm everyone down, Pip plays some soothing authentic sounds on her harp, explaining she is a member of the group referred to as "The Harpies". Unfortunately, Ward mis-hears the remark and spends the rest of the weekend thinking Pip has herpes!

Rosie dancing in MuuMuu
The room gets busier by the minute as the time for the party grows near. Stef Baggins and Samwise Arandel show they both have the same impeccable taste in clothes
The hypnotic effect of Pip's rendition of "May It Be" has a very strange effect on Rosie, who suddenly grabs the MuuMuu and starts dancing in a strange, hypnotic fashion. Girls getting ready
Stef Baggins and Samwise Arandel show they both have the same impeccable taste in clothes.

Lunch - and time to review the oscar magazines

There is just time to grab a "second breakfast" before making final preparations for the big party. A quick detour is made to review the lastest magazines for any "swooning" pictures.
