Ugly Formal Wear Christmas Contest

Once again, I have taken a long hiatus from blogging, which is mainly due to Spanish language school, which has shrunk my brain to a quivering mass, not unlike Husband's heart when he is in a-fib. 

However, I did want to post the video and pics from our latest Christmas thrift contest.  The theme this year?  Ugly Formal Wear



Thanks to a church-wide garage sale benefiting Isaiah 55 Deaf Ministries, my husband was able to score a shocking fuschia satin and black velvet dress.  You heard me right...a dress.  He looked like a very scary drag queen (with his Hannah Montana wig) and I had to wash my eyeballs several times to recover. 

 

Not to be outdone, I also had a lovely mint-green lace-covered satin number with an enviable amount of satin bows attached.

The hotel continues to wonder about this strange clan that descends every year between Christmas and New Year's.  As evidenced by the photo above, apparently the mental illnesses suffered by me and my sisters can transfer to in-laws and all offspring.  We will stay heavily medicated for your safety.
