Last night my work held their first christmas party in 5 years, and what a fun night it was. It was a formal event held at the Wheelers Hill International, complete with a 3 course meal and good old karaoke. Brett and I even stayed the night so that we didn't have too far to stumble to bed. LOL
I decided that I wanted to go all out for the night so bought a new dress and got my hair and makeup done. The dress I just happened to stumble across in Jacqui e and fell in love with it straight away. All I need is a few more outings so that I can have the excuse to wear it again. My make up was a complete disaster. I said that I was going for an "Elegant 50's" style, and the girl who did the make up said "Like Marily Monroe"? Lets just say that I don't recall Marilyn having the dark heavy foundation, large black eyes and huge pink/red lips?????? The problem is that when getting the make up done, they don't let you look in the mirror until it is complete and I think I nearly died when I finally looked into the mirror. Nothing like Marilyn at all :(
I pre warned Brett before I got home that I looked like a "Scary Doll" and his facial expression told me that I did as soon as I got out of the car. Piper took one look at me and asked why I had a scary monster mask on, and then when we got home this morning asked where my scary monster mask had gone. Thanks Pipey. Anyway I managed to wipe a lot of the foundation off and tone down my eyes a little and added a darker colour lippy which made a huge difference, and this was the final result...
I hadn't felt this pretty since my wedding day :)
I LOVE this photo of Brett and I. Ahhhhhhhhhhh :)
We had so much fun and drank so much wine and beer that I even did a few karaoke songs (not on my own of course). Last night was the first time that Brett and I had been very drunk together in our whole relationship. I don't know why we waited so long as we had sooooo much fun.
When is the next party?????? LOL :)
