I truly could not believe the first few articles that I read about Super Bowl parties. We are talking about “the party of the year.” There was no mention of fabulous clothes.

No mention of twinkly lights and cosmos. No one mentioned shoes! I mean, hello, you can not throw a fabulous party without a new pair of shoes. It’s, like…..well like hosting a Super Bowl party without a tv!

It may have been mentioned in the past that I am a bit….glamorific. Well, I think there is no better time to be glamorific than for the biggest party of the year! Apparently, others do not necessarily concur with me.

I decided to ask one male and one female, how to plan the perfect Super Bowl Party.

Here is Stiletto Sports’ first ever He Said/She Said, Super Bowl style!
