Boys Suck!

The girls had a 7th/8th grade ‘Theme’ dance. As you might be able to see, it was 80’s themed.

Shaun and I had more fun going to thrift stores looking for 80’s garb, then the girls had at the dance.

Kara insisted that her hair was TOO big. Marina’s hair wasn’t big enough. Somehow by the grace of Uppercase GOD I found blue eyeliner. I was in all my glory putting big curls into a feather that would wrap around and touch in the back. Since they didn’t have bangs, I couldn’t do the camaro bangs look, but I still managed to use a half a bottle of Aqua Net.

They didn’t get the ‘layered socks’ look. I tried to explain to them how important it was that you had to have on at least 2 pairs of socks that matched the outfit. They just laughed and let me giggle as I backcombed hair until it hurt.

Kara went with the Desperately Seeking Susan look and Marina went with the ‘totally for sure!’ Valley Girl look.

After Kara’s outfit was together and she was bitching that her hair was TOO big (which is proof she didn’t grow up in the 80’s because there was NO such thing as ‘too big’) she admired her look in the mirror and her and Shaun at the exact same time belted out, “DON’T YOU FORGET OUT ME! NO NO NO NO!!” (from Breakfast Club)

While I was doing her hair I kept looking at her saying, “Oh. MY GOD. YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME!” Everyone says she looks just like me. I think she looks just like my sister. Tonight…she looked like me. I was certain I was going to have 2 joyful girls come home from the dance telling us stories about how much fun they had.
No such luck. 7th grade egos, destroyed BY BOYS!

Marina’s ‘boy’, told her that he would dance with her…and he didn’t. Kara’s ‘boy’ didn’t either. They danced with other girls. Hearts were broken tonight.

I tried to tell them that Bryce Mahon had done the same thing to me in 8th grade. In 7th grade Matt Chesnut had crushed my heart when he broke up with me to go out with my best friend. My stories of woe didn’t help.

Hopefully spending the night with Chelsea will make everything all better. I know when i’m depressed her mom, My Beautiful friend Lisa always makes me laugh and forget how mad I am.

Or they will probably spend the night leaving nasty messages on the ‘boys’ MySpace and trash talking the girls they danced with.
…13 sucks…and it’s all BOYS faults!
