Heyy!

So, you all know that Semi-Formal was on May 10th for us Snow Lakers. In my first post you read about how I got ready and now I’m going to tell you all about actually being there.

The dance started at 7:00p.m. and went until 10:00p.m. I arrived at 7 and gave my ticket to the people at the door. The chaperones for the dance are usually teachers from our school, so yeah. I met up with my friends Skye and Logyn. They looked gorgeous, as did everyone else. :P When I walked into our school gym, it was absoulutely breath taking. There were lights lining the floor and a bunch of balloons in the middle of the floor. There were about 7 tables with a bunch of chairs around them and they all had 2 candles and a beautiful center piece. In the corner they had a non-alchoholic bar set up with drinks such as Root Beer Twist and Jungle Berry Fizz and Appletini. They also had a food table set up betweent the dj booth and the bar. They had fruit trays, meat trays, buns, etc.

I hung out at a table with my friends Skyler, Tyler, Ashley, Elaine, Sara, Logyn, Skye,  Hannah, Paige, and Randy. We spent most of the night just drinking drinks and talking, but I did dance a few slow songs and did the Casper Slide #4. It was an amazing night and everyone looked so dolled up. :D I just hate how it comes and goes so quickly. I wish it would go on longer than just 3 hours. I can hardly wait to see how next years Semi-Formal turns out. :)

Getting Ready!

Heyy!

Now, as you all know Snow Lake is a very small town, so we don’t actually get a big blowout prom like other people in the city do. We do, however, get a Semi-Formal. It is for Grades 7-12 in our school. Everyone dresses up, mostly girls in dresses and guys in dress pants and shirt. Semi-Formal is a lot more work than just putting on a dress and shoes and going. You need a lot of work behind all of that to look your absoulute best.

You need to pluck, paint, and beautify before you can go anywhere. I spent today, so far, painting my toenails the same colour as my dress (which is red), plucking my eyebrows, and doing facials. I want to make sure that I can look as good as possible because there will be a lot of competition tonight. :P I usually spend the day relaxing and beautifying before Semi-Formal at 7 tonight. You also need to make sure your hair looks perfect and your make-up applied just right. It takes a few hours to get to look as good as we do. :P

When all the beautifying is finished, everyone looks stunning and we all go out to have a great night of fun with all of our close friends. Tell me, what do you do when you have to start getting ready for your Semi-Formal/ Prom?
