Last night I attended a "ladies' dance", with the theme, "Dancing through the decades". It started at 5 PM with 50's music, then each hour advanced a decade, 60's at 6, 70's at 7, 80's at 8, and 90's as the dance ended at 9. I arrived in a 50's poodle skirt outfit and changed my attire at the top of each hour to match the music. We had about 50 ladies there, and my costume changes were a real hit, with everyone taking pictures of me. The poodle skirt and the hippie bell bottom pants (and hippie accessories - the glasses, flowered headband and flower to hold) came from a costume store, but everything else came from my closet! And I had every bit of it before they announced the theme for the dance. Needless to say, I had a LOT of fun!
