Playdate makeover

by mayberry on October 2, 2009

Every Friday, Jo’s school has a noon dismissal. Which means only one thing: PLAYDATES! The two girls just went out to play in the backyard, so I sneaked upstairs to see what they’d been up to. Which was this:

Please note 1) creative use of towel rod as clothes rack–on far left, a flower girl dress I wore in 1975; 2) CD player featuring Radio Disney collection; 3) stench of acetone. OK, maybe you can’t see that last one in the photo. Also missing is the lineup of open eye-shadows, the 47 lipsticks, and the pile of stick-on earrings. The visiting child is wearing a flamenco dress my mother bought in Spain, BTW. It’s black with red-and-white-polka dot ruffles. She kind of looks like Minnie Mouse, if Minnie had a blonde ponytail and wore brown faux suede boots.

Happy Friday.

Wow. My daughter is going to have a deprived life.

Wow, that looks… scary. LOL I did the same thing when I was little. I’m sure my daughter will, too, when she gets a little older. I’m sure I’ll find it scary then, too.

Oh, excellent! I hope they were not eye-shadows you were saving to actually use yourself.

I’ve always wanted a flamenco dress.

You are a brave, brave woman.

Wow look at all that polish. I’ve deprived my daughter.

Gosh, I’d love to know what the girl’s mom said at pick-up time when she saw how her daughter was clad.
