dress up! ps: embarrassing photo.

i love going out. even if it's just going into town, if i want to make it a big deal i will.

tonight i'm going to this show at my (old) secondary school. it's called 'Stars in Their Eyes' where students dress-up, go up on stage and sing their hearts out. i went last year and the year before. where a 13 year old boy called Nigel dressed up as a spice girl and sung 'wannabe'. poor thing forgot the lyrics so the crowd was singing it for him. i've never known a child so brave or possibly stupid. one of my best friends won it last year too. i was so happy for her i cried. i was worse than her mother. when they called her up to sing for the big finale to the show, i blubbed throughout the entire thing. she'd gone up for it the previous year and come second.

AND!

i have just received news that a really good friend of mine and his band are playing at it tonight!

woopwoop!

i manged to get myself a ticket through the medium of my younger brother, however i feel i may have to smuggle Elly (friend, accomplice, etc) in. either with violent threats or bribery. the show is always full to bursting.

so, i like to stand out.

like last year, when everyone was going colour crazy, i opted for a short high wasted, polka dot skirt, and white top. i still love this outfit and wear it all the time. because i have no clothes. i do have pictures of this outfit, but they're with a bunch of other people and i can't deal with either cropping them out or explaining. so you will have to imagine.

however; this year...

i have so far decided on bright mint green heels and possibly a (forcibly borrowed) trilby hat. but i love the fact that being a girl allows me to start my beauty regime four hours before i leave the house. and that i can do pre-make-up before the real war-paint. and that i can change my outift twenty times. and shop for accessories an hour before. and do my hair in several different styles before finally settling on "curley". and the way i can't even begin to get ready without the right song playing. if i haven't mentioned it before, i like being a girl. i really really do.

ps. just for laughs, here is the picture i had taken when i got stuck in a broken down car for three hours on friday night.that is not a happy teenager.
