To the 80’s and Back Again

last night (well, it’s officially Sunday now, so the night before last) was the CommDevt Xmas Party. This year we went to Casey’s Deli, and the night was themed: 80’s. wow. tragic. There were some fucking awesome outfits, and I was surprised by my willingness to gear up, since I was there the first time around. But we found some bright plastic earrings and scrunchies and didn’t look back…

After dinner and drinks, the last of us stumbled on to the nearest watering hole; Sovereign Pub - the Ville’s only gay bar. There SanSan and Damian picked out 80’s music on the ‘dancefloor jukebox’ and we all busted out our best 80’s moves (yep, I dislocated my knee again). This morning (ok, after I got up at 11.30am) feeling a bit worse for wear, Joelle, San and I downloaded photos from all of our cameras and rolled around laughing at how bad we all looked. See?

    Oops so sorry to hear about your knee Zoe. If I remember rightly that put you right off your game a couple of years ago! Oh well looks like it will be another Hamilton year……………….
    Mango salad sounds good though.

    bejeweled vs bedazzler

    i have been doing some research into the “bedazzler” tom & his school boy friends used to bling up their 80’s outfits… according to http://www.mybedazzler.com they are “back again and its the fashion craze of this season” hmmm i’m not convinced.

    when i see paris & nicole with bedazzler machine replacing the dogs hanging out of their massive hangbags, then i will believe the above statement…

    til then tom i suggest you have a go at the bejeweled game, there is no glue involved at all!
