Belated BADGIRL!!!

The third annual Badgirl Ball took place in early October this year. As always the 51 ladies rocked it out. We were by far the coolest and classiest cats there. Our theme this year was "Bollywood" complete with saris, silks, incense, and a dance number! My friends Brittany and Rachel and I choreographed a "bollywood" style dance for all of us to do and we snuck in a little Michael Jackson "Thriller" with a fog machine to complete the show. It was spectacular if I do say so myself! I'm really happy that we pulled everything off as this is my third and final Badgirl ball. So sad and strange to think I won't be around for next year's!

I was able to pick up a few saris in Singapore this past spring. I had such a hard time choosing which one to wear! I finally settled on blue as I had a shirt to match.
This was our decorated table! It was AMAZING!
Every detail was incredible. The decoration committee did such a fantastic job.

We even had a drink fountain! Unfortunately the power was a little weak with the Japanese conversion, but what can you do?
Some other themes this year included "Roller Derby Girls (pictured below,) Stepford wives, Super heroes, Go Go Girls, and Can Can Dancers.
Here are the Mace ladies. They did a great job too.
Nothing beats the Warlords, though!
I draped Kristin's sari for her. I think I did pretty well! I think I am ready to move to India... or not.

As always we had a blast. The food was great, the music was great, and the company was wonderful too. Yay Badrgirl Ball!

2009 Bad Girl Ball

Last year our theme was "classy vegas" but this year we were flappers!! I don't know if you recognize the dress, but this is the very same "gown" I wore when I was pregnant at the Badman ball in March! My mom reworked it into a flapper masterpiece!

Don't we look great?
I thought we looked great! It was a lot of fun to see everyone dressed up again. I had just arrived in Japan when we had the ball last year! Crazy to think that it's been over a year now!

Bad Girl Ball

This past Friday I went to my first big event put together by the various wives' clubs here on base. It was called the "Bad Girl Ball" in tribute to the "Badman Ball" that usually takes place around this time every year. Most of the husbands are still out to sea with the carrier so we had a ladies' night instead. Every squadron had a theme and ours was "classy Vegas." I didn't know that there was such a thing! I thought we looked great though! The Lady Warlords really pulled it off! Other squadrons were police officers, cowgirls, hula dancers, and there was even an entire squadron of Britney Spears.... which was a little much....
When we walked into the Officers' Club we had fake money that we threw in the air. Our table was decorated with poker cards and a miniature roulette table. All of the guys from the squadron had their pictures taken with a message for their wives. (See above.)
Me and Angela. Her husband went to GA tech also.
My neighbor, Nancy. She and her husband live right above us.
