Tiara Night

It was Tiara Night last Friday, though just barely. You'd think with Halloween approaching, a dozen tiara's would be an easy find, but it wasn't until Friday afternoon that I found these, at Big Lots. $2 each. That's right. Cuz we're worth $2, each.

The evening was monumental for a couple of reasons. First, well, the tiara's. Second...

well...

I don't want to tell you the second...

but...

Momo is moving to Jacksonville, North Carolina, on Wednesday. Wahhhhhhhhhhh. This is seroiusly cutting into our J1 Style, when one of ours has to leave us. We're going to miss her, and Mike, and baby Matilda like crazies. But we J1'd in style on Friday night; they actually let a friend babysit Matilda for the first time that night, that's how much they love us.

Third, because new friends joined us for the first time also, and we coerced dozens in the bar to pose with a tiara to mark the evening. There are about 1 million photos of the evening, here are a few highlights. Watch them as we get out our hankies, and sniff away. (Remember, dab, don't rub.)

Fake Laugh Night

There HAVE been Girlz Nights in Champaign, Illinois, this summer, but the blogger in charge has been a bit of a slacker. Or rather, overwhelmingly busy. She's sorry, and will return to regularly scheduled GirlzBlogging.

After missing a few funny shots (funny, if you've had Just One), we came up with the idea of photographing one another's fake laugh, a few weeks ago. This is Mark #1, posing for his fake laugh, but insisting that it made him real-laugh.

Melissa is cracking up here:

Mine is very realistic:


I don't think Mark #2 is fake laughing at all, I think he's just sitting there, drinking just one:


Bartender Rich wouldn't fake laugh for us, but I think he was probably fake smiling here, trying to appease yet one more table of crazy women, when all he wanted to do was clear our glasses from the table and get away from us.



I think this is a real laugh too, but I didn't come home with Georgie's fake laugh:



Gratuitous girl-on-girl shot. Look fast before Georgie and Mel see that I put it up here, and make me remove it!


Start snapping your fake-laughs and posting them, and stay tuned: Sept 21 is Tiara Night for the Champaign Leg of J1. We loves to have a theme.
