Badgirl Ball - Decorations

Badgirl Ball is a big event around here so it might take me a few posts to tell you all about it. First, Gizelle and myself were in charge of decorations for our table. It's hard to find things for decorations since we can't make a quick trip to Hobby Lobby or Michael's, but I can make my mom and sister-in-law do it for me (Thanks!). I had them go in July when all the 4th of July decorations were 75% off. They found me some great things. You have to be creative when it comes to this kind of stuff while you're in Japan.We also make a trip to IKEA to buy some large vases and then filled them will the decorations. We also put pictures of all the guys with some red lip stick stickers around the table. The sign in the big jar says, "nothing says 'Hello, Sailor' like ruby red lipstick."My favorite part about the decorations were the hand-written notes we got from our guys. Our XO's wife got them from the guys in Singapore at the beginning of the month. I got through the first sentence before I started crying, of course.

Here is the Golden Dragon's table- Ghostbusters. They even made Stay-Puft marshmallow men with their husband's faces.
A few of the other themes of the evening: 1940's (VAW-115), flappers (HS-51), hippies (105), Hooter's Girls (27), Bad Bridesmaids (CAG-5), State Pageant Queens (VAQ-136), Togas (HSL-14), German Beer Wenches (VFA-102) and Playboy Bunnies (VRC-30 Det 5). I think that's everyone!
