Yes, it's not technically halloween.

But today is the day people at my work are dressing up.

Here's a secret: Except for the half-price candy the day after and the excuse to dress up, I couldn't care less about Halloween. But if there's an excuse to wear a costume, count me in!

1. Aren't I a fabulous 1980s woman? And don't my shoulder pads look like I could just about fly away?
2. Getting this hair was SO MUCH FUN.
3. So was the makeup, actually.
4. In fact, the last picture reminds me of Faith Hill's early publicity stills, right down to the fake smile.

Conclusion: 1984 was a good year to be born in. But I am THIS GRATEFUL not to have become a teenager or adult in the 80s.

Alas, I was thinking only very shallowly about how grateful I am not to have pictures of me as a teen in fashions like this. Not that I didn't have my own share of very bad photographic moments, but there was something very ... special ... about the 80s. ;)

As always, you make excellent and thoughtful points. Thank you. :)
