The prom pictures

OK so we finally have some pics of this prom.  We got alot of compliments on this dress.  My daughter Karen is a one in a million to wear this creation.

I have been making clothes for my sisters and kids for years.  This is the FIRST time one of my creations actually looked like it was supposed to.


When I was in fourth grade my Grandma threw out some funky cafe curtains. They still had the little clips still on the to hold them onto the curtain rods.  I dug them out of her garbage and made them into a bikini for my sister Kathy who proudly wore it into the living room one afternoon when Mom was making lunch.

I fashioned two triangles for the bottoms and attached these cool plastic circle thingys to the sides to hold the triangles together.   Sort of like Bo Dereks's bikini in "10"


Sort of.

Boy did I get yelled at. 

"A bathing suit is supposed to cover your body for God's Sake, Anne what in the hell are you thinking!, Kathy, take that damn thing off!!

We both wandered back into the bedroom.  My Dad was trying his darndest not to pee his pants.

I could have been a famous clothing designer like Calvin Klein or Versache, if only my mom would have been a little more co-operative.


Instead I learned how to milk cows.

Talk later,
