Barbie Fashion Show ‘08
March 26th, 2008 . by ErinI am in absolute awe at the wonderful job done by my friend John. He’s the one that gave my blog the amazing facelift! If you like his work, you can find him at areallygoodname.com. Thanks again man, you did good!
Every Tuesday after work I go to our ‘Service Night’. Usually we help tutor, read to, or just generally hang out and play with the kids. This is really fun especially when you find yourself playing with Barbie dolls and tripping heavily down memory lane. I wasn’t really into ‘Girl toys’ when I was little, but I did love playing with Barbies. Neither my friend Ashton nor I had played with Barbie dolls since the age of 10 maybe? But it was fun to jump right back in and dress them up and do their hair. After the ‘Barbie Fashion Show’ of 2008 had come to a close a couple of us thought it would be a good idea to play dress up and go for ice cream.
After going to the local grocery store in one of my old prom dresses for ice cream and receiving looks like ‘who the heck was that?’ and ‘why is she in a gold prom dress’? I just had to chuckle heartily because honestly, I think it’s completely healthy to indulge the inner-kid inside you every now and then. It’s how I keep my sanity sometimes. Whether people think I’m insane for doing so or not. I highly recommend doing things like that… always mess with their minds. It’s fun!
It just goes to show that you’re only young once, but you have the rest of your life to be immature.
I’m relieved that I still have the rest of my life to be immature. I was fearing that I’d have to get it out of my system soon!
Thanks for the props!
you mentioned a gold prom dress…is it the one that I gave you? I think ice cream is a wonderful event to dress up for!
Being a kid is always fun. When you have kids of your own someday, you will have MANY opportunities to be a little kid. The other day Luke and I were dancing and I was jumping around like a gorilla. It made him so happy!
Come to think about it, it mght have been… all I know is that every poofy dress I own, i’ve warn to at least 1 or 2 formals… I tend to lose track sometimes.
