"10"

Pam at Pam's Perspective tagged me, so I guess I'm it! (I always suspected that I might be, but it's nice to have confirmation!)

The object of the game, in this case, is to open your first photo folder, open the 10th photo and tell a story about it.


I'll be honest, folks. This wasn't my first photo folder. The first didn't even have 10 pictures in it. The tenth photo in the second was so dark I could've told you anything and you would've had no choice but to believe. So this is the tenth picture from my third folder.


This was taken at Lea's tenth birthday party (right in keeping with the '10' theme, no?)

She had a makeover party.

The two girls in the near background are having pedicures and manicures. In the far background, at the table, girls are having facials, getting a light make-up application, and having their hair done. (Also in keeping with the '10' theme, many of them ended up with elaborate braids. It's almost like we were anticipating this post)

I thought we'd make things as beauty-parlory as possible, so we had a wide array of magazines in the waiting area. I bought every tween mag on the news stand. Because I am just that cool. At least that's what the woman at the checkout counter thought. She didn't think my apparent obsession with Zac Efron was weird or pervy at all.

I had four adults helping me with the party and they all went home with spa gift bags, just like the girls did. Except theirs included wine and chocolate. And pictures of Zac Efron. Which I thought was the least I could do after they gave up a weekend night to help me deal with a house full of ten year olds.

Now I am to tag a few more folks, but ya'll - I'm on vacation! So I'm gonna be just a little lazy and say, if you want to play, consider yourself tagged!

Because you? Are it!

This is an excellent party idea. How did you end up with such a beautifully tanned child?

I wanna go to a party like that! That's awesome! And, seriously, I am a pervy person...because every time I look at a pic like that of ZE? I have to wipe the drool off my chin! I'm ashamed by it. Really.

I want a 10 year old b-day party. (stamping my foot) At least one like you throw. Did you really have tiger beat magazine? Is tiger beat magazine still around?

fun fun. yes yes.

You are an awesome mom. What a party!

Thank you for including Zac. If I were at all cougar-y I would devour that boy.

(I almost deleted that, then I peeked at previous comments. Macey and mamaface agree, whew.)

What'd I say? Zacolicious.

What a cool party idea, I've seen them done in over priced spas, but at home, sheer genius!
Zac Efron............yummy, I watch Hairspray just to oogle him...LOL, then when I think I'm old enough to be his mother I want to hide!

Great picture and story. Great idea for a party as well. What 10 year old (or 45 year old) wouldn't love that. Love the teen magazine touch as well. Niiiice! But, I must admit, I don't get the appeal of Zac Efron or Robert Pattinson to women our age. I know a ton of women who get all cougarish about this two, but to me they look like little boys. Now, don't get me wrong, I do like me some younger men. But they look more like men. Examples? OK, since you asked. John Krasinski - Jim on The Office and Henry Cavill - Duke of Suffolk on The Tudors. Hubba, Hubba.
