What Not To Wear To A Sparklecorn Extravaganza
Eight days and counting. EIGHT DAYS until the awesomest party in the history of the world, ever, and then some.
So, what are you going to wear? Are you going to rock something Olivia Newton-John circa Xanadu? Or something more along the Let's Get Physical/neon headband lines? Whatever it is, make sure that it's sparkly. Or glowy. Or something. You gotta tell me, because I'm still undecided, and I need inspiration.
Also, because I suspect that this is just not quite the right look:
And I wouldn't have time to sew it, anyway, so. Even if it was the perfect look - which is entirely possible - I'm running a bit late on wardobe planning to make it work.
I don't know. You tell me.
What are you wearing? Or what WOULD you wear, if you had a Fairy HammerMother to whisk you there?
(Thanks so much again to the awesome, spectacular, and incredibly generous people at TypePad/Six Apart, Federated Media, bTrendie and Dove and Yahoo! Canada, who are helping us make this the most awesometastic party EVAR.)
(And, again, yes, the guest list is now closed, as we're at - we're over, actually - maximum capacity.We're sorry, we really, truly are. We'd let the world in if we could. Best we can do at this stage is tell you to keep your ears to the ground and stay alert for word of folk with RSVPs who won't be attending. Bribery, we've heard, also helps.)
(Not bribery of us, however. We have nothing to exchange for bribes. Although we would if we could. And we go cheap, so. More's the pity.)
(But! You COULD win yourself a ticket - or an extra ticket to scalp for however many buckets of glitter you might need. Just help us name the super special for-our-lips-only MamaPopRocks drink and an extra invite could be yours!)
(What are you waiting for? GO. THINK DRINKIES.)

My Fairy HammerMother is on vacation or else I would lend her to everyone.

I'll be the belligerently drunk blond one. Okay, I realize that doesn't really narrow it down. I will be the belligerently drunk one that is not Amy, Tracey, or Catherine.

Shit. Now I have to sew a whole new outfit.

Um, I sorta thought the whole 80's theme was a joke. I don't have any sparkly/spandex-y/Hammer-pants-y clothes. Will y'all still let me in?

I would wear the AWESOMEST sparkly-glitter-unicorn-covered ensemble ever known to man...if only I WERE ALLOWED IN!!! *Simon le Bon sigh*

I was going to claim that I didn't own anything sparkly and I realized that I totally do have a t-shirt that's just covered in sparkles. So I'm all set. As long as I wear a jacket over it 'cause cap sleeves are nobody's friend.

Okay, crap. Am I seriously going to have to set foot in American Apparel?
(pauses)
(thinks)
Crap. The only stuff I have that glitters is stuff you only get to see after you buy me three drinks and I lose at Truth or Dare.
(still thinking)
My personality doesn't even sparkle. Honestly, I was planning on just being a beligerently drunk blonde but apparently I've been beaten to the punch, like, five times over already.
OH WAIT
(light bulb)
(remembers halloween chest)
No problem. I'm all set. (cackles)
