And after exactly 21 days I was back at Spectrum, this time for my cousin Florence's 23rd birthday.
The invite designed by her sister Frances. The theme: Bedazzled.
And this is us giving our (sorry) best shot at being dazzling. LOL!
We're all t-shirt-shorts-havainnas kind of girls, so dressing up shiny and sparkly like this
was quite a feat! Hopefully with more practice we'll get better someday.
(Or maybe it'll just come naturally when we get to our parents age.)
See? Gwama and the aunties did a much better job being all glitzy and glittery!
I love the personalized pen birthday giveaway! For those who don't know, I have a fetish for pens.
I take home pens from hotels, resorts, airlines, restaurants, etc, etc. That's because I lose a lot of
pens, too, so I make sure I always have at least 5 in my bag. Hee hee hee. :P
Of course, mine is purple and engraved Jinlovestoeat! :)
Our bottles for the night:
Whites
Pinks
Reds
