I was made for lovin' you baby.


Last night was awesome! Here's an email Nomi sent to my folks describing the evening:

Hi everyone,

We went to Grug's 30th last night. It was a 70s theme. I went as Princess Leia. I hired my outfit, but made the "bread roll" hair buns. Well the baker actually made the buns especially for me - I just painted them! It was rather funny. I went to the bakery to get 2 knot rolls that looked similar. I told the girl what they were for and the baker overheard the conversation and said "I'll make you some". So on arriving the next morning to pick them up, I was presented with a tray of 12 Princess Leah knot rolls. He said "take your pick - I made a few different styles". How hilarious was that. They still only charged me 55¢ each, so I was happy!

Neil went as Ace Frehley from KISS. Neil of course does not do things by halves when it comes to costumes. He made his whole outfit, apart from the hiring the wig and boots. This involved approximately 10 metres of garden hose, 12 metres of vinyl tubing, 7 tubes of super glue, 1 can of silver paint and silver electrical tape. He was also wearing one of my old black tops and a pair of women's black leggins. The make-up was also a big part of the costume, which I'm proud to say that I did. It took about an hour to do and we arrived more than an hour late to the party. Needless to say, he was a real hit and got into the "rocker" mode just a bit too easily. I think he should have been on stage!

The things we do for a laugh!

Have a look at the photos - there are 3 pages of them.

Love Naomi xxx
