XTC and our usual suspects put on a "Freak Homecoming Dance" a few weeks ago. We had a theme and decorations and a DJ and everything! Here in TX, Homecoming is all about the girl's corsage. It's called a "mum" and although I'm sure it started out years ago as a real flower corsage, NOW a days they are SO stinkin big and have SO many trickets & do-dads attached that you wear it around your neck with an actual lanyard neck badge thingy. I wouldn't have believed it but I saw it for myself at Jagger's senior year Homecoming football game we went to a few years back. They were SO big and the ribbons were SO long that the girl's had to pick them up while they walked up the bleachers so they wouldn't trip. True story!
We had a craft night and all worked on our mums for the evenings event. MINE had rhinestones and a half dozen or so glow in the dark dinos in it. Still you could really honestly tell the for reals Texan girls from us imposter's (ie....those of us who are Canadians, Californians, or Ilinosians no Illinosiers no oh I don't know!) that night. The Texas girl's mums really did look so much more better-er then ours. Still mine got points for it's shear size. It truly was big enough to be the "Mum that ate Austin"!
P.S. Corset tops are GREAT for boobage that won't fit it any o your party dresses...even if you have to get longer laces and put on a jacket to hide most o your exposed back. Plus skirts that you took in when you found 'em can just as easily be let back out! YAY for altering!!!!!
