I was far too sober to enjoy it!
I feel your pain
My date bought me one drink. He then spilt it on my dress. God, WHY did we go out for two months after that?!
Just finished packing for Berlin! 1kg under the hand luggage weight, yay! But I have a feeling we will need to put a case in the hold on the way home, if shopping goes well
But sure it's only €20 to add in the airport, and there's three of us. Grand! 0 -

I'm hoping that there will be more details soon and I'll let ye know.
Meanwhile I'm on the hunt for a new bowtie. Trying to find bowties that are not black or white in this country is a fupping nightmare.
Saw some lovely hand painted silk ones - sadly they were all pre-tied and I hate that. There were painted by John Kerwin, one of my favourite artists. He does the most magnificent sea and sky scapes of ublin (mostly). They were either €40 or €60 each - can't remember (hungover).
I've seen those!!!
They are AMAZING!!! I think they are €60??? Beautiful!!
Sadly himself won't wear a tie, nevermind a bowtie. Sigh.
Maybe I should just take to wearing them myself 0 -
Found straycat's dress in H&M today:)But they only had size 8s left:( Tried it on and the style was lovely but the flipping thing wouldn't zip up all the way, was devastated....was surprisingly nice on too.:(
Awe Lindtee that sucks, nothing worse than finding a nice dress and they dont have your size

Thats only because I was Too Drunk to F..tie my bowtie before I got to the event!
Actually, the real reason is that I was wearing an old shirt and the collar was a tad too tight.
/Shakes fist at self; Damn you expanding body!I'm older than Minecraft goats.

Oh God, just had a flashback to my debs!
After it got dark, the prinicpal (battleaxe old nun) walked around the grounds with a flashlight looking for any wayward couples.
I got my dress in Dunnes the day before though, for half nothing. I still love it, black lace over a layer of pink. If only it still fit. I swear it shrank over the years

We should have a formal FAP beers so we can all wear our deb dresses/tux again.
I'd take any excuse to wear that beauty again.
my debs dress stopped fitting me a long time ago! even when i was actually the same size as the dress, my body shape has changed and the dress just didnt fit (yes i tried it one time when i was clearing out my wardrobe

I love that film, it's awesome! I think I'll just have to watch the dvd while I'm doing the ironing after I finish watching Phantom of the Opera.
It's depressing that I have two films worth of ironing to do.my debs dress stopped fitting me a long time ago! even when i was actually the same size as the dress, my body shape has changed and the dress just didnt fit (yes i tried it one time when i was clearing out my wardrobe)
Buy a new one! My debs was only 3 years ago so thank god I haven't outgrown it.
I have a 6 more gowns now too. My mother and I have an awful habit of going to sample sales and buying up the formal gowns and then never having anywhere to wear them. Such a waste.0 -
Lol just read all the debs stories, ah the memories. Mine was a disaster in every possible way. My outfit was so horrible and unflattering, I had a thing about not asking my parents for money as a teenager so I just borrowed some clothes of my older sister who's still living in an early ninties bubble. I only lasted about ten minutes in my high heels (first time wearing them) before I threw them in the bin and lost my skirt and stuck a pair of jeans and runners on (I know). Hung around just long enough for the dinner, then spent the whole night sitting on the grass in a group drinking buckfast outside the hotel while everyone else made knobs of themselves dancing on tables, crying, snogging, vomiting, saying how even though they'd never been friends before they loved each other really blah blah... By the end of the night I'd fallen out with my best mate for making moves on my boyfriend/date, another kinda slutty friend of mine was coming on to the principle really heavily (seriously gross) and loads of people got grassed up/busted by the cops for pills and coke (classy school or what) and were kicked out of the hotel. I know we went to someone's house in Limerick then for a few hours but I woke up in a house in the middle of nowhere in Tipperary of all places and couldn't get home. My grads was oh so much worse though and there's lots of photos of that, I behaved at my debs because I'd made such a phenomenal tit of myself at the grads 0

Since we are on the topic of debs, I thought i would share my horrible experiences! My own was shockingly bad, I got a dress made in Dubai (back story; my aunt lived out there and invited me out after my LC for two weeks, didn't enjoy it , but she suggested I get my dress made, and for whatever unknown reason, we chose sky blue satin (which is the one colour I AVOID nowadays like the plague!) So top that with horrible spotty skin, braces and insanely massive glasses. I would post a pic but I still cry looking at them!!
The night itself was rubbish, I having brought a lovely guy my friend wanted to kiss.
I then went to his debs (we had a pact!), and my mum said she would like to buy me my debs dress, since she hadn't bought the first one (the satin blue disaster). Into Roches, found a purple dress which the shop lady kept saying "it's beeoootiful!' (It's wasn't- spotty skin, braces, glasses AND pinky undertones in my skin). Got it anyway.
Week before the debs it was a scorcher, so I got sunburnt at Slane. A bright neighbour of ours suggested I try a fake tan to cover it up (ten years ago this was, tans weren't 'in')... ANOTHER BAD IDEA, because with the tan on, i started to peel, and yes, resembled a giraffe. Worse, still, that particular debs was a real special one to go to, as the boys school was the good posh school, and all the girls looked bloody fantastic, while I did my best to conceal my shoulders neck and back
I shudder reminiscing, but thought I would share. For the record, braces, round glasses, bad skin, greasy hair and giraffe like skin do not go well at a debs, or anywhere in fact.0 -
