This past weekend, in the steep hills of Echo Park, there was a Christmas party extravaganza complete with booze, baseball players and bad taste. Described as "Your Parent's Christmas Party," the holiday invite explained that one must "come dressed in what your parent's once thought was their holiday best," because after all, "This is how we do it in 92." With that in mind, I reluctantly put on one of the fugliest xmas sweatshirts I could find and polished enough bottles of champagne and wine to appropriately begin celebrating the holiday season.
Pics of the mayhem that ensued after the jump!
I don't remember what he was talking about. His sweater was too distracting.
Someone got drizzunk on eggnog.
Quintessential Christmas group photo. Knits, sequins and taffeta can do wonders for your holiday wardrobe.
Smiles brighter than their sweaters.
I'm pretty sure we were dancing to Tone-Loc at this point.
"Now lean back!"
Even with cramped quarters, one can always get fresh.
And by getting fresh, I mean riding hard.
Too many drunks, not enough direction.
Sometimes you party foul when you're getting crunk.
And then you accidentally spill red wine on your friends (my mother's) sweatshirt. I had to call my mom right after this spill and apologize for ruining her Xmas gear. Luckily she didn't get aggro.
A lil' vid sample...Warning: it's dark and loud.
You see, we weren't the only ones looking like fools.
Yes, there were many others.
I think this dude got dressed in the dark.
All of their outfits were amazing, however the girl in the middle had tassles AND shoulder pads on her top. Big ups!
Obvi, turtlenecks under the sweatshirt is hot...literally.
After a couple of hours of dancing, shit talking, spilt drinks and too many cigs, the girls hit up the mecca of late night grub: Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles.
#13 with a side of mac n'cheese. Thanks!
**Much thanks to TZ and DV for the party**

sarah, this shit is hilarious!!! i was just talking to someone about the turtleneck under sweatshirt phenom -- nicely done.
I am guessing it was after this party but I saw the girl in the purple sweater arguing with the doorman of the Gold Room. She was insisting that he let her in even though she didn't have her ID. We told her to try the Little Joy down the street. Later, we saw he climb into a tow truck with bags full of booze. We all assumed that she would probably be peeing herself later in the evening. So remember kids, even if you are going to a party in a silly sweater and leggings...you might need your id.
"luckily she didn't get aggro"...is the world nothing but WoW references anymore?
Wait, are you sure they're even dressing up or just being normal everyday hipsters?
ugh, if this is Echo Park now, then i am SO glad i moved when i did...
is this that irony thing that everyone is talking about?
and, uh, are the parties you attend normally for whites only?
Duuude, there are "ethnic" people in pics #3,5,6,7, 10,11,12,13 and 14.
And the party was in ECHO PARK. I deserve some brown points just for being in the area.
The word Aggro is a WoW reference? People have been saying aggro for over 20 years.
"whites only"? really? i mean....really?? that's all you could come up with after looking those pictures? and it's not even true - there are "non-whites" in the pictures.

I don't read laist daily to see self-serving photoblogs of unimaginative theme parties. Thank god for the west side.
Just looks like every Xmas party in the midwest.
