Disco Nite!

Just a lil look at my disco eyes.
I googled 'How To'
I found a video of a lady using these colors for a 'disco look'
Purple on lower lid.
Yellow up top.
Rust in the crease and outer corner.
Green on the inner corner.
Purple under.
And I used a white for highlight at the brow.


I looked high and low for an afro.
Couldn't find one or was told 'they'll be in in 2 wks'
(not helpful since I needed it last night).

I borrowed one from a friend.
(She and I are in a mutual mommy and me group)
I have to say, the 'fro MADE the costume.



Lennon glasses bought at the 'less than $1 store'.
army type belt (used as belt and wristband) thrifted, 2 for $1 each.
Purse (LOVE the purse) $4.
Long, gold earrings $4.
Everything else, I made or already had.
*what can I say, I'm the perpetual Hippie*

Me and my girlfriend get to the party -
she walks in, then I.
The owner looks at me and says 'Wow, you WIN!'

Later, more people show and dressed for 70s night.
The owner walks over to me and hands me my prize
Basket of beers :)
She says 'you win again, you could let someone else win sometime'. lol

I'm 3 for 3 on the costumes.

'80s.
'60s.
'70s.

What can I say, I'm setting the bar.

***I can't dance (there I said it. Now you all know, but don't tell anyone else).
I had to google (I love Google).
Had to google, 70's dances.
I saw 1 for The Hustle.
I watched a few times and was still confused.
I even watched Soul Train, but that was useless.

Get to the party and after a while.
I got up and did the YMCA with everyone else.
Then the DJ played Do the Hustle (IDK, if that is the actual name).
My girlfriend asked 'that's not the dance, is it?'
I said 'No, and got up and actually did it and remembered the steps'.
Later -
My girlfriend dragged me to a club and she asked the DJ there to play K$sha and told him that if he did, that I would dance.
(why she picked K$sha, I have no idea)
He did
and I did,
but I did The Hustle to K$sha -
it's harder than you may think-
but it looked like I knew how to throw down.

Latest Art Piece


A couple weeks ago over at:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/StarvnRtist/144245995625159

I asked a question:
What would you like hanging on your wall?

I had a few replies -
J - 'I always wanted a sunflower'.
T - 'A great big Marigolds logo on the artist of the month wall'
E - 'semi-impressionist style of people'
B - 'flower'

I picked 1 (as a surprise) and today I posted the
Almost Finished Piece
on my facebook page
(you can 'LIKE' me over there, I don't bite...much).

It still has a few details
that need to be added/erased.

Gosh, I hope Marigolds has a big enough frame (2'x3.7').

Which decade fits me, the 1950s or 1960s?


http://marigoldswineblog.blogspot.com

This is the question I posted on my Facebook page.
Those that responded said the 1960's.
I love the music of the '50's, but my nature is the '60's baby!

I think it is sad that some people are too afraid to dress up. I mean, I don't know you from Adam - what do I care what you think.

Including the employees, 4 of us dressed up.
I won, GO ME! :)

I Survived the 80's

Like, How was this ever an attractive look?

Only 2 of us (out of our group) dressed up, she was more of your upper class 80's chic and I, more of the Valley girl.



Can you believe that no one stocks 80's accessories/makeup! Seriously, I had to search high and low to find something that would work or make it myself!

Last night at Marigolds Wine & Delicacies (with the help of STAR 98.5) had 80's night. They had a 80's costume contest (Did someone say contest? Sign me up!!!)

*I have to get one of these for the house!!!


I had a few things from my childhood (original from the 1980's - button earrings, New Kids on the Block buttons, the banana clip). I had to crochet my own leg warmers.

The shirt and skirt are from when I went as '80's girl' a few Halloweens ago. I made the off the shoulder, fridge/beaded, splatter paint shirt. I ended up going to Dollar Tree for the BRIGHT Pink lip stick/ nail polish and black and white gloves that I cut the fingers off of.

They also had 80's trivia, I ended up calling hubs for this. He is like a walking/talking movie/music dictionary.

I had some competition, but WON the costume contest (Yay Me!) Prize - a bottle of wine. *I also won 2 cd's with hubs help, of course.

***more pictures to follow......MAYBE. lol
