Homely Coming Queen/King


Were you not asked to the dance? Can't make it to the Prom? Ever been dateless? Well, here is your opportunity to dress up and show us what you've got! It's the Bloggers Virtual Homely Coming Queen/King Event. Get your duds together. Petticoats, corsets, cowboy boots, studded belts, and of course, BLING. Crazy hats are always fun, too. Guys, I am clueless on what to suggest...a blue tux with ruffles and a bow tie? I must admit I have not made it to the JunkoRama Junk Gypsy Prom in Round Top, (http://www.gypsyville.com/truckin_junkin.asp ) so I have no Actual, Real Life Experience with that whole shindig. But, I have seen some pics on Garden Antqs blog and Theresa took some fine pics (http://gardenantqs.blogspot.com/ )of some crazy outfits! Let that be your guide.

We'll just make up our own rules, put our own outfits together, dance to our am radios under the stars in our very own back yards, and set up our cameras to take pictures while we run into the frame. You know what I'm talking about, that self-timer thingy. The Real Junkorama Gypsy Prom is going on Thursday night, October 2. So, play out your fantasy that night, if you so desire. Friday morning, I will post my marvelous pics of me and you can leave a comment indicating that you, too, have posted pics of you on your blog.

Ok...in light of the fact that we are home for a reason, I have decided this will not be a "contest". Audience participation is necessary and it will be rewarded. Each of you who posts pics of you in your Homely Coming Outfit on your blog will receive one of my very own, handmade Denim Bling bracelets. Actually, I am feeling very generous. You will recieve two of my choice. One for you to keep and one for you to give away. Check out these pics to get an idea of what you will get for playing dress up with me!


I will post my email address on Friday, Oct 3 and you can email me your address where you would like the Denim Bling mailed. Obviously, you will have to comment on my Friday Blog so we can ALL view you in your glory! Friday (10/3) at 11pm will be the end of this FUN. Pics posted after that will be laughed at, but not rewarded with Denim Bling.


I am wondering if this will be like the falling tree in the forest with no one around (cuz they are all in Round Top)...can anybody hear me? Cher? Have you joined the millions at the greatest shopping spree in Texas? Anybody? hello???

And nah...if you are at the Real Junkorama Prom, well, that is not what this is about. This is about us homey's who stayed home. Whether we wanted to or not. I was grounded, myself.

Spread the word! This FUN is open to any Blogger Queens or Kings who were unable to go to the Real Deal. Closet Bloggers, y'all should go ahead and start commenting and posting pics, too!

the small print: only 2 bracelets per blogger. if you are interested in more, comment with your email address and we can discuss prices/sizes/colors/etc. i make watches, too.

  1. H-E-L-L-L-L-O-O. L-L-O-O. L-L-O-O. Hear that echo? NOBODY'S HERE! They are all having fun at Round Top, except you and me! At least, I hope they're having fun! The weather down here is certainly nice enough, not windy like it was last Spring.

    Did you say Oct. 2? That's my birthday. I'll have to change my age on my blog that day before I dress up for the prom. On second thought, old ladies should not dress up crazy for proms!
