Merry participated in her first dance recital over the weekend. She had a great time dancing to Flora's Secret. She did fancy moves like discovery, fairy dust and sunlight.
Merry with her dancing buddies.
Sitting through a couple of hours of dance performances made me think of the last time that I was in recital. Flash back to sixth grade, I was still in that teeth to big for my head stage. One of my Young Women's leaders taught dance in a friend's garage. Our group decided that we would participate in the middle school talent show.
Outfits- black home-made unit pants (pictured below), purple and black t-shirts layered with the sleeves rolled up, puffy purple socks pulled over the pants and sparkly, metallic purple headbands and wrist bands.
Our song selection- Electric Youth by Debbie Gibson.
Six awkward 11-12 year old dancing our hearts out.
Too bad I was born with a congenital defect. I have no rhythm. And I wondered why we didn't place in the talent show. Fortunately my dancing career ended then.
If only I had a picture to share with you. Oh well I guess somethings are better left to the imagination.
In searching for a picture of unit pants I found that you can still purchase unit fashion online. Awesome!!!! I think this jumpsuit is definitely going on my wish list.

Merry looks like a beautiful fairy here. I love it! Tell her that Nic is disappointed he won't have his pyro friend here for the 4th of July. It just won't be the same. :D
I'd LOVE to see you in a jumpsuit. pretty please??
thank you for the wonderful fashion sketches you included. It was nice having it all illustrated out.
and those are sweet pictures of Merry. I would have loved to see it all go down. :)
I have a similar experience every week at the gym. I pay money to be awkward, off beat and sweaty. I am definitely not Sporty Spice.
Maybe a jump suit would help.
