Celebrating ‘70s-style

The House of Blues looked more like Studio 54 as guests gathered for the 65th birthday celebration of Bellaire resident Karen Freedman (pictured). Party-goers dug deep into their closets and arrived in vintage ’70s attire. Singer Mary Griffin kept the dance floor full as muscled, male cage dancers inspired the crowd. A disco diva on stilts, a guy in a bath tub serving Jello shots and a Solid Gold party girl on roller skates were among the many surprises of the evening. Dancing queen Karen was paraded in like Cleopatra on a velvet barge to the song Disco Inferno. A full production of the line dance from Saturday Night Fever included 28 friends and a longtime dance instructor and proved to be a well-rehearsed crowd favorite.
