Homecoming 2010

My little sister is a sophomore this year, and Saturday was her homecoming.

She actually didn't even go to the dance, which was awesome because I went the dance every year.

and regretted it every time.

Instead they got all dressed up and ate fancy status and then went bowling!

SO FUN.

The girls had a blast getting ready, and I had fun helping them!

I did my best to photograph the finished products, but Berit is the photographer not me...

so they are pretty terrible pictures

This is the lovely specimen that is my sister.

The dress reminds me of Marchesa.

Except that it was 10$ at Value Village.

NBD.

Here is the back of her hair.

Her hair is short, so this is mostly bobby pins.

You can even see some of them

(BAD CLARE BAD CLAIRE)

This is Emma.

I twisted back random sections and pinned them in place until this emerged.

SUPER easy.

Meet Shalee. I had the top half of her hair up when I realized,

MERLIN'S BEARD, she has SO MUCH HAIR.

This picture sucks I know. But take my word:

It was Frickin Amazing. If I do say so myself.

Meet Jenny.

She has such great eybrows-

it took me about thirty seconds to pluck them.

Her hair and makeup here easy as lemon squeezy pie

(YUM)

Here is the group- minus the ginger kids girlfriend, who came later.

Not one of these girls paid more than 15$ for their dresses!!!

HeYYo!

Many might recognize Jenny's silver dress-

it formerly belonged to the illustrious Natalie Souaid

I claimed it at the clothing swap this summer knowing that though it might not fit me,

some lovely young lass with less sizable lady lumps would be delighted to fill it out.

NOW

I would like to turn your attention to the BEST IDEA EVER!!!!

My mom decided that since only one girl had a date

(the other random guy was just there to bowl),

that she would MAKE corsages for all of them.

Now this could have easily gone south-

but my mom is awesome.

Check out how cute these are!

Not to mention the fact that she did this all in half an hour!

YAY FOR MY MOMMY!!!!

SO MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL

I had a wonderful vacation, but its back to reality.

whoops, there goes gravity
