A White House Alice in Wonderland costume ball put on by Johnny Depp and Hollywood director Tim Burton proved to be a Mad-as-a-Hatter idea that was never made public for fear of a political backlash during hard economic times, according to a new tell-all.
...It was so over the top that Star Wars creator George Lucas sent the original Chewbacca to mingle with invited guests.
...the State Dining Room had also been transformed into a secretive White House Wonderland.
...Fruit punch was served in blood vials at the bar. Burtons own Mad Hatter, the actor Johnny Depp, presided over the scene in full costume, standing up on a table to welcome everyone in character.
The Obamas daughters, Malia and Sasha, then 11 and 8 respectively, sat at the table, surrounded by a gaggle of their friends, and then proceeded to the next delight, a magic show in the East Room.

And America's leftwing media dutifully kept the secret of their "Dearest Leader" since 2009. They did so to such an extent that in searching online for actual photos (not current photoshop simulations) of the event, I could only find them on a Russian website. See below from

The leftwing media of America has brought this country to a state were it is now Americans who must search for the truth beyond the lies of their Regime in Russia. How tragic is that reversal?

What a shame Kim Jong Il croaked last month, he would have loved to attend
one more secret and exclusive par-tay while the 'little people' continue to
reside in government-sanctioned ignorance. All hail the Dear TOTUS!

Looks like Janet Reno’s family reunion.
Seriously, can anyone imagine any of the Bushs or Reagans behaving like this?

Freak Show!!
Alice in Wonderland?
Looks far more like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
To: almcbean
Lol.
Although to be honest, why did Lucas send Chewbacca? The White House already has a wookie.
To: drpix
I've got a question. The WaPo is the rag of record in that neck of the woods. If the paper has a society section/page/column, did news of this swank soiree appear in the paper....?
