me accepting my prize
the pre-party
MEIn April of 2010 my ward had had a big giveaway of clothes and I had gotten a perfect dress, turquoise on top with big puffy sleeves and HUGE bow in the back it had a white skirt part that was white and BIG. I came up with the idea that I wanted to do a "trash this dress" photoshoot where you go to places where you would not wear a formal and pose for pictures. I asked my friend Britney to cut the ugly turquoise part off of the dress and to just leave me the white skirt part or to put elastic in it. She returned it to me and said she did not have time.
So in October 2010, Justin's ward had a thrift store prom, I thought I HAVE THE PERFECT DRESS!!! so I went to The Goodwill in Alexandria and bought jewelry to go with the dress and went back to the nanny house to get dressed. I took the dress out of the bag and it was CUT like the top part was cut off the bottom!!!!! and she had not put elastic in.. LIKE AAAH! so she really just did not have time to put elastic in aaah! and the thrift store prom is starting SOON.... I tried all sorts of things
1. to safety pin the bottom together and wear another shirt.
2. to wear the top that now had a big cut up the back where the zipper had been as a jacket....it did not go across my boobs...
3. I tried to see if I could pull it together as a grunge girl from the '90s with another outfit ( the prom said dress like 70,80,or 90s)
I called Elaine and she said that she had a dress for me that she thought I could wear she said she had been to the thrift store in Falls Church and gotten an extra.
I drove over to Elaine's house and Marissa was there.
Elaine was wearing an orange dress the most amazing shade of orange you have ever seen.
Elaine had gotten Marissa a dress covered in sequins and the top part was all kinds of different colors of sequins.
My dress was bright blue and just fit me and very 80's.
we then drove over to Stacey's where their was a make-up/hair party.When I walked in all the girls shrieked because they had wanted to buy my blue dress but could not fit in it....always good to feel skinny... Elaine got her hair done in a big bouffant by Robin. Marissa had a big hair 80s updo. Julie and I curled my hair and then Robin teased it up and I made it BIG I said I was going for the look that I could be in a hair bands video... I think that I achieved it.
When we got over to the church we were about an hour late and they had just turned the music on. The lights were still on. I said we have to turn these lights off I mean it is awkward enough to be at a dance but now the lights are on. Someone said I don't know how I said that I would figure it out.
there was lots of fun 80's and some 70's and 90's music to dance to.
a very very creepy 51 year old man tried to ask me out several times. this guy had met me a few other times and I thought WOW really? when I have big hair now is when you ask me out??? I told him NO NO NO NO NO. He could not understand why I said no. When I got home I looked him up on FB and realized that he had twin sons that are 24. If this guy EVER asks me out again...or even talks to me... then I am going to say to him Hey I was thinking of asking one of your sons out is that cool? Then he will most likely say well he is to young for you...and that is when I will say... WELL HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL ABOUT YOU ASKING ME OUT!!!!!!!!!! I mean they are closer in age to me than you....hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahah..... This guy also asked out my friend Katie and said the same things to her that he said to me
1. that he is upset that people in Justin's ward in their 30's all hang out together and he feels like they kind of exclude him and don't want to date him... I thought WELL IF I WENT TO THE 18-30 ward then I bet all the young people would hang out together and not want to date me either...they would think of me as an OLD woman...
2. that our church does not care enough about divorced people and shuns them and should basically be telling people it is OK to get divorced and support divorce... I see our church doing that the same time that they support gay marriage....
ANYWAY
there were prizes at the end of the night
Elaine won for best orange dress and best 70s dress
Marissa won for best use of sequins
I tied for best blue dress and best '80s
YES THERE WAS ANOTHER GIRL THERE WITH BIG '80s hair and THE SAME SHADE DRESS..............................CRAZY!!!!!
I won a seal candle.
all the presents were from the thrift store.
Elaine was happy that all the dresses that she picked out won
I think that I am going to give away my seal candle at a white elephant party that Justin and I are having in December.
After Elaine said that we should all go to Ihop.
twelve of us went.
I joked and asked if the guys were going to pick up the tab. AND THEY DID!!!! I was not expecting that because I shared a plate of food with Elaine!!!!
Marissa and I drove back to Elaine's
I drove back to my nanny house. I went to bed at about 3AM
my bosses BF came back very late that night too...dude must have closed the bar down....hahahahahahah
