You can't go wrong with a pair of skinny jeans and my motto is if it's tight at the bottom, make it loose at the top so hence the flowy sweater that is fall-inspired. To give me a little bit of height since I am super short, I would pair it up with these wedges with the shearling detail. The sweater, necklace, skinny jeans, ankle wedges, messenger bag and cute hat are all from H&M. With this look, I would go for a subtle make-up look. A tinted moisturizer to even out my skin, a black-lined winger eyeliner using E.L.F Waterproof Eyeliner and peachy coral lips using M.A.C Florabundance.</span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><img alt="Business Chic" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFjNoaTE2Vm5GM3hHTkYtbkdzc1UyN0EAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >I have been longing for the longest time for this Chanel </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" >"Innatendu"</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" > nude nail polish and it inspired this romantic-edgy look that I would definitely rock at work. First there is this gorgeous nude baby doll dress from TopShop but you can't go all nude because it would be too matchy- matchy so to toughen it up a little, I added some black shoes and black leggings with studded detailing, both from Asos. The coat has subtle golden detailing that is gorgeous from H&M and the bow belt from Asos and the little flower headband from TopShop make it all bohemian-chic. And to tie the whole look together, a wide camel messenger bag from TopShop that can carry lots of stuff yet looks quite elegant.

This blog started because I got in a fight with my friend. See?<br /><br />- Sing. Loudly. Badly. Off-key.<br /><br />- Indulge in all your guilty pleasures while eating the world's best chocolate/ice cream/ other sweets. For me it's watching old episodes of the Hills with a bowl of Ben and Jerry's.<br /><br />- Write a list of things you love at that moment on a sticky pad and stick it to a place where you go often in your home. Everytime you pass that specific spot, you'll remember that even things do not go your way, there are things to be happy about. Update that list at least weekly.<br /><br />- Listen to old-school Motown Classics and dance your worries away. My ultimate Motown playlist is :</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" > </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-variant: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br />-Dancing in the street- Martha and the Vandellas<br />-Sugar Pie Honey Bunch- Four Tops<br />-Signed, sealed, delivered- Stevie Wonder<br />-Do you love me? - The Contours<br />-Ain't nothing like the real thing- Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell<br />-Super Freak- Rick James<br />-Upside down(inside out)- Diana Ross<br />-Baby love- Supremes<br />-My girl- Temptations<br />-You can't hurry love- Supremes<br />-I've heard it through the grapevine- Marvin Gaye<br />-Ain't no mountain high enough- Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell<br />- I want you back- Jackson 5<br />-ABC/ Rocking Robin/ Blame it on the boogie- Jackson 5<br />-She's a bad mama jama- Carl Carlton.<br /><br />- Look through an old album of photos, preferably with a friend. If it's an old friend, you can reminisce about things you did together and weird fashion senses and if it's a new friend, tell them about your old life and how cheeky/crazy you and your friends were. Positive memories help you deal with lousy moments a little easier.<br /><br />- Grab a friend, dress up as tourists and pretend to go through your town like new comers; take loads of pictures and be sure to flash the peace sign in all of them.<br /><br />- Bake a pie! Baking something that reminds you of your mother's cooking and letting all those awesome flavors take over your home brings you back to when you were 5 and used to watch your mother baking this infamous pie. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect; it's perfect in its imperfection.<br /><br />- Have a musical marathon; I'm talking Rent, High School Musicals, Hairspray, Grease and all that jazz. Seeing people resolve conflicts with song and dance is so what our world needs right now.<br /><br />- Go into an expensive store and try on what could be the biggest expense of your life and act like you're gonna come back tomorrow to get them. If you can, snap a picture of yourself in them. <b>(Obviously you're not going to get them but it's always good to pretend in your head that you own them).</b><br /><br />- Load up your Ipod and go for a long walk.<br /><br />- Have a fashion/top model faceoff with friends. Do your Best Miss J's impersonations with HUMOUR of course and judge one another. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" > </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;

Today, though, I took a bus. I didn't think it would change anything except that I would be home a few minutes early. I paid my fare and looked for a empty spot in the bus. The only seat vacant was right in front of this little old lady. Bless her heart, she was nearing 80. She wore this grey sweater vest with a dainty pearl necklace paired with some floral pants and silver slingbacks. She was deep in a conversation with this younger man, telling him about how her husband proposed to her in 1951. I smiled politely at her and took my seat. Realizing how long of a detour the bus was going to make, I decided to pull out my Blackberry; put my music list on shuffle and sit back and relax. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

A lesson learned the hard way but still, lesson learned. On the upside, I found the most moisturizing conditioner I have ever come across; and guess what? It was only 1euro 50. It's a no name brand; I picked it up because it was close to my hairdye box and because I just really needed conditioner. It was for limp hair and split ends and it smells like fig and it's infused with Argan Oil. Seriously guys, my hair feels like silk and my hair is maybe 90% dry right now.

I have very fragile hair and I spent most of my life just dying it many colours and that has greatly damaged my hair. Add the heat from blowdrying it every week and flat ironing it mainly everyday, my hair just started breaking off in massive chunks. So I went for the big chop/colour in September 2009 and I didn't look back ever since.<br /><br /> I had to give away my flat iron in order to cut my habit of straightening my hair everyday. Now I try to stay away from heat as much as I can. The only hot tool I currently own is an 1/2 inch curling iron for those odd nights I feel like doing a more full-bodied curls for a glam look. But other than that, I've learned to embrace my natural curls. With my hair growth {it's shoulder length now :); my hair grows at a snail's pace}, my colour has proceeded down to my ends.

Phew! It feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest! Yes, I completely, simply, and utterly can spend <b>HOURS</b>, not minutes, <b>HOURS</b> watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. I don't know how I first got started with it but now it has become, by far, my most favorite thing to do when I'm on YouTube. I don't know if it's the color combinations, the techniques or the beauty gurus's knowledge but I cannot get enough of it.<br /><br />I realised something not too long ago; by watching these videos, I slowly started to pick up their tricks to a flawless face. Growing up, I'd buy makeup but I never knew how to apply it correctly. I'd choose the wrong color for my foundation; I've never heard of the word <b>"concealer"</b> and I thought that an eyelash curler was a torture device. It would even be a miracle if my eyebrows were defined. I'd let them be wild and close to being a unibrow. <b>NO LIE!</b><br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b>Exhibit A:</b> Please excuse my best friend K's face in the background.

Mistakes is another way to get to the end of your path. It's another way to do things and frankly for me, <b>it's the only way</b>. It's like when you were learning how to start writing when you were little. How did you learn? By trials and errors; by making mistakes. Maybe your I's were not dotted or your T's weren't crossed; without your teacher telling you that in fact, you were making a mistake and that your I's should be dotted and your T's crossed, we wouldn't know how to write properly. The same principle goes into life. without making the wrong choices, you might never know what are the right ones for you. You know how that saying goes:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><b>"There are certain times in life when you think this might be a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to know if it's a mistake is to make said-so mistake and go "yup; that one was definitely a mistake."</b></span></div>LovelyBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229639014461789120noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600214264531655476.post-71806589902512820192010-09-06T07:12:00.003+02:002010-09-06T08:15:31.658+02:00He said, she said<div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>On a lazy Tuesday afternoon, at a bus station.</i></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">She: "Sorry I'm late.

The reason for my kinda-long absence is that I have been dealing with a mild </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">{read HUGE}</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> gastroentiritis. I have been completely sick and I'm starting to feel a little better since today. Adding to the fact that I'm currently in the month of Ramadan, where I'm fasting all day, it's really taking a toll on my stomach. </span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ramadan</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, if you don't know what it is, it's actually the islamic month of fasting and it's meant to purify our souls and learn all about how to be more humble and to have compassion. There's millions of people in the world that have to fast due to not enough food or not enough water and what I love about Ramadan, is that every year that I do it, I feel like I become more and more compassionate and I count my blessings more often. I feel that by fasting, I'm feeling what others feel on a daily basis, and I just feel extremely lucky to have the life I have. It's also that time of year where we confess to God about our past sins, ask about forgiveness and for him, to give us guidance. </span></span><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I saw earlier all your lovely comments left on my blog and I feel really grateful to have you guys worrying about me.

Girls talking about boys; it’s the funniest thing around; seriously do you guys ever notice how much time women spend talking about men? Like it never ever ends. I was just on a bus this afternoon and this girl sitting in front of me was complaining about how she met this great guy and how they had a magical date and how he never called her back and her friend said the worst thing she could have ever said:</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">” Oh, you shouldn’t worry; I’m sure he’ll call; I mean why wouldn’t he? You’re so pretty and smart. I’m sure he’s gonna call”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">. I’m sure she was being supportive as a girlfriend but come on; I swear, there was nothing holding me back from just slapping her silly and get some sense into that girl’s head.<br /><br />If y’all didn’t know by now, that great guy just wasn’t into her and as girls, it’s so hard for us to grasp that concept. We sit around making up excuses for these</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“great”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">guys while they are out there looking out for their special someone’s or somebody to bone, which ever they’re into. I mean if the book and the movie</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“He’s just not that into you”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">didn’t make you question your views on men, then I don’t know what more to say; and if you did not read the book or see the movie, I highly recommend it. Greg Behrendt is a former executive writer on SATC and he co-wrote the book</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“He’s just not that into you”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">with his co-worker Liz Tucillo. It’s such an eye-opening book and it’s liberating to feel that we may not be what certain guys are looking for just like they may not be what we are looking for.<br /><br />Men and women are wired differently; we girls tend to overproject our life long dreams onto a guy we’ve just met; we are already thinking bed sheets thread counts and a little summer house and we already got the names of our future 5 children already picked out; guys, on the other hand, are just thinking</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">” I hope this goes well”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">. You cannot expect them to decide if we’re the one in about 5 minutes; that’s unrealistic.<br /><br />Example, a guy and a girl go shopping. Let’s say they both need socks; a guy will go to the store, get his socks, buy his socks and leave the store; he is not about to check out that v-neck t-shirt that’s on sale, or try on belts or see if the store has a new layout for sales or anything we girls tend to do. Once a guy knows what he wants he’s gonna go and get it and that same technique sadly applies to how they date as well. So if a guy likes you, then YOU WILL KNOW.<br /><br />They say</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“Actions speak louder than words”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">or</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">” A picture is worth a thousand words</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">”, well those sayings apply in real life as well.I mean between a guy who says</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“I donate my time to the elderly”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">and seeing a guy who’s volunteering at an old folk’s home, which one would you rather believe? So point is believe only what you see; anybody can say anything but action is key. So if you still didnt get it:</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“IF A GUY LIKES YOU HE WILL LET YOU KNOW”</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">.<br /><br />He will call you; he will text you; he will IM you; he will facebook, tweet and skype you. He will drop his work, blow off his friends and crazy ex-girlfriends and football practices and anything else that’s keeping him away from you. He will bug the crap out of you and not care that he’s bugging the crap out of you. That’s how simple it is; if you guys went on a great date and he still hasn’t called back then he’s not interested. I could be wrong when I say this but I bet I’m really not.<br /><br />Talk is cheap; if he’s telling you one thing and doing another thing, that’s shady. I’m not saying all guys are liars; I’m just saying that talk is cheap.

Only con of this whole thing? The smell; I don't know if you smelled it before but it is very very strong. So your loved one may not want to hug you for awhile until said-mixture can really go deep in the layers of your skin. But I'll gladly live through the smell if it can clear up my skin. I have dark spots on my forehead, huge clusters of scars of both my cheeks and on my chin. Those are my scars that I try to cover up on a daily basis. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I wish I could be a foundation kinda girl but I'm not. I hate the feeling of heavy-weight foundation on my skin but unfortunately, I have to put some on in order to even out my skin tone and when it's really hot, the last thing I wanna do is put on <b>"my face"</b> as I like to call it. I want to be free from my scars because I do feel they are holding me back a little and not to cry <b>"Victory!"</b> just yet, but I think I found my thing that works for <b>ME</b>. My scars have faded from dark brown to light brown; Think Mac's Soft Brown for all you makeup lovers, to Mac's Bamboo in just 2 days of application.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I thought we would have a cup of coffee and be our own separate ways since we met on a blind date. But I was pleasantly surprised. You had made me laugh and kept me on my toes. You were older than me so maybe that's why I was most attracted to you; and sooner than I had thought, I had fallen in love with you. I mean, it was kind of hard not to. I wanted to thank you; thanks to you, I knew what love really felt like. you helped me grow from a teen to a woman. You loved me, you cared for me, you protected me and for that, I'll be forever grateful. I'm sorry my mother never accepted you; you were ready to spend your life with me but I was too young. I guess your clock was ticking a bit faster than mine. I didn't fight for us and let you go; and soon, you met someone else. When I heard that you moved on pretty quickly, it kinda stung but now, I couldn't be more happier for you. You met the love of your life, you married her and now you guys are proud parents of two gorgeous babies that have your baby blue eyes. I thought the day I would run into you would have been awkward but I'm glad we were both mature enough to be civilized. I hope you are happy and honestly that is all that matters. </span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#2D2D2D;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#2D2D2D;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Sincerely, </span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#2D2D2D;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ayan</span></span></span></span></div>LovelyBeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07229639014461789120noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600214264531655476.post-53581379973358175672010-07-30T18:51:00.001+02:002010-07-30T18:56:03.655+02:00And you only thought it was soda.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">I don't know if you are like me but I like to search random things on the internet <b>{sue me, okay :)}</b> and what I fell on this morning, you would not believe.

It's a small country in East Africa}</b>, we have different tribes and one tribe in particular are called the Afars. They are known to love Coke; they drink it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think I might have some Afar blood in me because I crave Coke all day every day but I don't drink it that often; I'll buy a 2L bottle once or twice a month. Where was I going with this? Oh, yeah, the many uses you can have for Coke. This is where I get all wikipedia on you guys and tell a little bit about the origins of Coca Cola. It's been rumored to be green at the beginning but no proof of that yet. Apparently, Coca Cola was originally made of coca leaves<b> {the plant of cocaine}</b> and cola nuts that grow in Africa; so yes at first, you could find 60mg of cocaine in each serving. It also contained alcohol and it was used for medecinal uses.

I thought about not even doing this because </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">"why would I just relive basically the worst moments of my life over again and then probably have other people laugh at my expense?"</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> but then again, if I can't laugh at myself, how much fun can I be? So here I am, sharing one of the worst moments of my life. Although it had been mortifying, that night ended up teaching me something I didn't know about myself: I'm pretty ballsy.<br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">I must admit that I am a walking, talking, breathing, living </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">KLUTZ</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">. If I don't go knocking over a chair, stumping my toes on the door or breaking a plate for at least one day, then I better just play the lottery because I am on a roll. I must also specify that I, in no way, shape, or form, actually had anything to do with this; it was all Mother Nature's fault. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">Tis was the night of prom. I had actually looked like a girl; I wore this gold floor length grecian gown with a small train, accented with Swarowski-encrusted butterfly clips on the straps, a swooping cowneck-like backline, and gold crystal-encrusted strappy heels. I had my mother's wedding pearl and gold tiara that she wore when she first married my father and a vintage gold clutch. Not to toot my own horn, but</span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> TOOT TOOT</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">! Some might have said that I looked </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">FYYYYYNNNNNNNNE</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> but you know, I did.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">I was sitting at my table surrounded by my friends and we were the last table on the left side, nearing the buffet. In order to get out of the ballroom, you had to pass by seven other tables which included all the jocks and the pretty boys, their girlfriends and the </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">TEACHERS, </span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">cross the ballroom, climb a few stairs and out of the door, you were. I do have a pretty small bladder and while waiting for the evening's festivities to start, I had felt the urge to pee. As I got up to go to the ladies's room and started walking away from my table, I hear my best friend, frantically getting up and walking right behind me; like </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">RIGHT BEHIND ME!</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> She couldn't have been any closer even if she tried. I didn't pay any attention until I noticed five other friends of mine, basically circling me. I prompted to ask what was going on and they just said to keep walking. I reached the bathroom only to notice </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">THE BIGGEST STAIN</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> on my dress. Yup, Aunt Flow came to town at my prom.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">To say that at least half of my class and my teachers saw that would be an understatement. I think I had the biggest meltdown of my life; I cried half of my makeup off, trying to figure out what to do. Thankfully, a friend of mine had a spare tampon and another one knew that Club Soda or sparkling water, fizzy water, carbonated water if you prefer takes out colored stains. She rushed to the barman to get some and we were able to get off the stain. I sat for 15 minutes under the hotel's hand dryer and I had managed to pull myself together, emotionally and physically.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">As I walking towards the ballroom, my friends kept asking me if I was </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">"really"</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> going back in there knowing pratically everyone knew what happened to me, by now. I kept thinking </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">"I did not pay nearly 400 bucks for a dress I'll probably only wear once, spend an entire day on my hair, make up, fake nails and the whole shabang, spend money a limo and spend 100 bucks for a prom ticket, all for a prom I'm never going to get to enjoy. </span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">FUCK THAT!</span></span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"> I'm going in there like I own the place; like none of this even phased me and I'm going to have the time of my life and live it up because this only happens once in your lifetime." </span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">And that, I did friends. And that I did.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;">I went in the ballroom, smiled at everyone and proceeded to make my way to my stained chair. I asked one of the waiters for a new chair and offered to clean my mess; they told me it was all good and I enjoyed my night. I don't have many memories from that night except the ones I remember capturing with my throw-away camera but I remember how much fun I had, looking back at pictures.<br /><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
