Skatin' with the Oldies

Ok, I'm the oldie. I celebrated my 32nd birthday with some great girl friends last night. First, we dressed up like it was 1988. I chose to go with a Madonna inspired look. Think "Lucky Star" video. And my beautiful, creative friends did not disappoint. There was blue eye shadow flowing freely, leggings, leg warmers, cut off denim, enormous belts, enormous hair, side pony tails, banana clips, neon, and jelly bracelets. Someone even found their old Swatch Watch!! It was truly fabulous.
And then after cake and champagne punch (that I couldn't have because I'm pregnant. Oh, by the way, I'm 9 weeks pregnant.) I opened my gift-an exquisite COACH creation. It is a signature striped tote-brown signature canvas with white patent leather trim. So cute! Absolutely LOVE it! Thanks friends!
And then it was time to skate. We headed over to The Skate King for adult night and got our roller on! I was slower than normal as I protected baby Winkler (see above) but it was still a blast. Everyone was a good sport and although there were a couple of spills, we managed to leave unscathed. I was befuddled by the crowd there at times but...everyone has to have hobbies, right?!?!? We were treated to some great skate dancing, interesting choice of shorts length on one particular man, and mild sexual harassment from the 90 year old who worked there. All in all, it was everything I hoped it would be. And there are pictures to prove it.

Well, I loved my special night and I love my special friends who made me feel special. Thanks ladies! See you next year! 70's disco dancing anyone?
