Best date ever!

I have a date Friday night... with my daughter. Our school performing arts club is holding a fundraiser dance called "Dancing Thru The Decades," and they encourage participants to dress up from their favorite decade. So, what else could we do except the 80's!

Problem? Absolutely none! We went to the mall and low-and-behold... they have EVERYTHING 80's again. That's when you know you're old - when they've remade/redone what you used to wear. We hit Claire's Boutique and got our fill of rubber bracelets, big neon earrings, mesh hand-glove thingies with the fingers cut out. They had so much more that we couldn't even get it all: paint splattered painters hats, neon sunglasses (the kind where the sides and the front are 2 or 3 different colors), big belts.

Then we went to Deb and got some neon tank tops and big shirts to wear over top of them. Alex got a pair of neon orange leggings with lace on the bottom of them, I got some slouch socks.

Wal-Mart had jelly shoes. Had to have them. They even had banana clips. Go figure! I even got the jean jacket with all the pins & buttons to put on it.

Now to put it all together. I can't wait until Friday night. I'll post pictures soon. Oops, forgot the Aqua Net. Better go stock up. Oh, Marc is DJ-ing too. He's thinking of going as one of Run DMC. I hope I don't forget my mix tape so I can ask him to play it.
