LMAO.........”gifts are welcome”??????????? OMG.......
Hey....hey.....how ‘bout a door that someone can use to hit her in the ass on her way out? Nice gift, I’m just sayin’....
They should scrape Detroit flat and start over.
Are the Van Dells singing?
I notice there is a charge to get in to her party also. Stay classy.
LOL I’m surprised she doesn’t have published list of desired gifts.
I think the Van Jones’ are.
Is this the Martha Reeves of the Vandellas?
Need to alert Macy’s, Target and the rest to the latest gift registry idea.
My very thought.
Well.....they're halfway there.
Will there be “Dancing In The Street”?
Vandellas?
Sheesh!!
Yes, sorry; got them confused with the jewelry.
Now it’s just the Vandals
Information about the party says her legendary hits "Come and Get These Memories" and "Dancin' in the Streets" might well serve as a theme for the party which will include Detroit musicians holding a jam session.
Reeves said the jam sessions occur each week at Bert's.
"We're asking people who come to wear their best 60's attire," explained Reeves. "We want to celebrate the musicians and artists who made Detroit great on this 50th Anniversary of Motown."
Reeves lost her re-election bid in the August primary. Her last day in office is December 31st. She says she did a good job, but it's time for a new city council. Reeves said she is optimistic about the future.
The 68-year-old Reeves, who served one term, received less than 1 percent of the vote in August's primary.
Why was she defeated in the primary?
Saint Peter was manning the Pearly Gates when forty people from Detroit showed up.
Never having seen anyone from Detroit at heaven's door, Saint Peter said he would have to check with God.
After hearing the news, God instructed him to admit the ten most virtuous people from the group.
A few minutes later, Saint Peter returned to God breathless and said, "They're gone!"
"What? All of the Detroiter's are gone?" asked God.
"No!" replied Saint Peter. "The Pearly Gates!!"
