Oh how I have looked forward to this! This is the second year I was invited to attend Merry's Fairy Party. Last year I was large with baby and put together an outfit last minute and I even surprised myself at how it came together. I loved it! Now I look forward to all the different fairies I can be.
This year I thought I had more time to prepare than I did. Luckily it still worked out. Sam, my sis-in-law, lent me her butterfly wings...she also has a ton of Asian stuff so she brought stuff over for me to peruse through. I decided to go with this robey thing. It was totally awesome. However, the wings didn't jive with it and someone suggested a great place to find some wings. I lucked out and found the perfect pair that was cheap (the most important factor!)
So here I am this year as an Asian-type fairy. (My fairy wings were called Nymph wings...mabey I am an Asian Nymph??? ha ha ha):
It helped to not be 8 months pregnant as well. Here's a view from the back:
My hair and make-up:
I was thrilled to be getting quite a few votes throughout the evening for Best Costume. It came down to Me and Mindy as tied but I gave it to Mindy because she made her wings and they were awesome :) Next year though....Ima gonna fight for it!!! ha ha :)
My contribution for the evening...my raw dip was super yummy!
Our wonderful host and her homemade fairy outfit. I loved that she created wings from flowers:
This year a few men were in attendance and their outfits were pretty cool! This guy made his own wings, belt, clothes AND shoes - yes shoes (out of leather)!!!
Some other creative fairies from the evening:
Is it weird to dress up, eat dinner with fairies and prance around outside for all to see?? Nay, I tell you. It is quite wonderful, indeed.
