Disco Inferno.

One of my biggest faults, in my opinion, is that I am not spontaneous. 

In fact, I can be quite pouty when things do not go exactly according to my plan. (hard to believe, I know, but I'm sure Gorgeous George and my mom will be commenting on this post to back that up).

Some might even call it anal, I prefer to call it knowing what I want...sure of myself...focused. (Dad, I'm finally understanding the whole frugal/cheap thing...it's all about perspective).

In addition to lacking spontaniety I am also quite lazy.  If an event or gathering seems like too much work, I usually will opt out if possible.

However, I am also a sucker for a good costume party. 

And I like boobs.

Which leads me to the point of this post. 

Saturday night my friends talked me into attending a local Breast Cancer Fundraiser called the Pink Party.  It is a Ladies Only event put on by a local resort.  Well, there were some boys there who I'm sure were really cute under their afros and bad 70's porn mustaches. (I did mention it was a 70's themed costume party, right?)  And the fact that they were bringing us drinks and serving us food always ups the cuteness factor a notch or two.

I resisted going to this party until I joined my friend, Nicole, at Value Village and we spent 3 hours trying on bell bottoms, an array of brightly patterned polyester and platform shoes.

By then I was hooked.

We managed to find 4 fairly matchy costumes and went as Diana Ross & the Supremes (my apologies to Diana Ross & the Supremes), who may have actually been more of 60's divas, but we are more about having fun than being historically accurate.  It's just how we roll.

It ended up being one of the most hilariously fun nights I've had in ages. 

I am still waiting for pictures from the actual party (and videos.  There may be a video floating around out there of me hula hooping and possibly doing the splits.  And there is definitely video of Nicole doing the running man.  Which again, not historically accurate, but by that time she had exhausted all her disco moves.)

Here are a couple of pictures of us before we hit the party, while our wigs were still straight and our shoes were still on.

And yes.  We all had wig envy.

When you do a costume, you really do a costume. But when you said you liked boobs, I was picturing more of a Dolly Parton costume ;)
