Bridesmaids “princesses” at the Hillis/Richards wedding
by Lynda Millner
F
airy tales really can come true, at least according to Deborah Richards. She says, “Cinderella found her prince,” and we were invited to celebrate her marriage to John M. Hillis at the Montecito Club. Only princes and princesses needed to RSVP. We were to wear ball gowns and tiaras, princely attire for the guys, and be ready to dance, storybook style. The couple took over the entire club with a combo of Tom Snow, Maitland Ward, and Suzie Gee playing during a cocktail hour for 120 guests. Then into the dining room for a stately dinner and a choice of wine. And of course, dancing the night away with DJ Darla Bea. Deb and John are at home, not in a castle, but in a polo field condo with a horse nearby. Love is in the air!
for her generous support of STESA through a fitness event held annually over the past several years.

It’s Magic! Who doesn’t like magicians and their tricks? The Lobero Theatre was recently filled with curious kids and their parents waiting for the curtain to rise to reveal the curiosities of six magicians. They didn’t disappoint – what with sawing people in two, cutting ropes that wouldn’t stay cut, tearing up paper that wouldn’t stay torn, and pulling out six birds one at a time from some mysterious place inside the magician’s suit. These were top illusionists direct from Hollywood’s Magic Castle, Las Vegas, and exotic showrooms around the world. Producers were Terry Hill and Milt Larsen. It’s billed as America’s longest running magic revue and it comes to Santa Barbara once a year. Milt Larsen and his wife, Arlene, have lived in town for many years, commuting to the Magic Castle in Hollywood.
