12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 2

[becka]

I found the necklace on Ebay. I just did a quick search for pirate necklace and some interesting things came up. I figure if I buy a fairly generic shirt then something like jewelry could add a little something to it.

I also don't want anything too costumey (is that a word ) because I think maybe I could accessorize something for a little cheaper.

Lisa - I already have my shirts. I was wondering when you get the pins for about 2 bucks each. I read that on a different thread. Sorry to confuse you.

They have already had it once this year around Feb/March I think. The next one should be coming up soon. Keep an eye on the budget board. I'll post if I see anything about it.

DH will wear his suit and I am going to be looking for a nice new dress but I don't think I can pull off the whole sequined gown thing. I am Pooh-sized and it takes me a while to find something I like.

I hope to find a cute Cinderella dress for DD for Halloween and if I do I might just use that as her formal night attire. I will probably look for a cute Mickey tie for DS but I doubt I will buy him a suit unless I stumble across one for real cheap. I think just dress pants, button down shirt and the tie will be formal enough for a 4 year old.

Becca, this is where I have gotten DD's dresses...like the blue one in my sig pic. They are very reasonable & beautiful!

Hi Becka! I noticed in an earlier post you moved your cabin to 2608, we are in 2606. On the manifest I am listed as "Castlepizie" but I am really "Castlepixie". I certainly can understand a typo with as much work as Lisa has done We are wearing tea-length dresses (Black) and DH will wear a black suit. Those slimming underwear sound good!

Sorry! It's fixed now.

Went away to a meeting and came back to find what we men like to call "too much information".

SPANX? Who thought up that name?

Why don't some of you ask Elphie how she likes her spanx with her formal wear?

Not sure about formal night - I have to get a new dress and lose this darn 20 pounds. For whatever reason I can't seem to get motivated! I'll have to get the girls new dresses....my mom had pretty well stocked up on clothes when my first DD was born - I mean she went crazy shopping...but that was only sizes through 3T.....last year they wore dresses from The Children's Place holiday line and they weren't that expensive. Of course they went on sale right after we bought them! DH will wear a suit jacket probably....


he has a Jack Sparrow costume but I need a new pirate outfit as do the girls. I'm holding out for the after Halloween sales.

DH just called and said there is a large box from Disney Direct on the porch! Yippee!!!

On a side note - I think I have convinced my father and his girlfriend to come along on this cruise. That would add two more to our very large group!

Sorry John! You should not have had to read all of that! Hmmm...maybe we should let Elphie know about what is out there! If she only knew about spanx she just might learn to love formal night!

 

[tynkerbell]

I have to wonder if Elphie is somehow related to, if not the same poster that goes by the name that rhymes with Tagger.

I think some Spanx could help both of them.....

I think it is awesome! I only wish I had found it first .

 

[becka]

I like it Lisa. I think it would look really good in red.

 

[lbgraves]

Well, I would just get it in the red. It's only 12.99 on clearance.

Do you think it would go fine with a black skirt. IDK if I could do that much red with the skirt too. LOL!

 

[lbgraves]

UGH! If I get this then I will have to lose some weight. If I get a medium for the waist, it wont fit anywhere else. I'm not even going to try to wear the one I used last year. I know that it wont fit...the skirt should be fine though.

 

[lbgraves]

I JUST FOUND A CODE!!!! MS20% takes 20% off your first item! The $4.99 shipping stinks but it would be at least that much on ebay & now the shirt is only $10.39!!!!! I like the purple but the red would give me more color. I'm ordering it now!

 

[tynkerbell]

Red would look GREAT with a black skirt.

 

[lbgraves]

Here is another shirt that with a white cami would make a cute piratey top.

[MrsMork]

Maybe we should come up with a code to put at the beginning of a post to let our gentlemen know that what follows is something they just might not want to know about.

 

[tynkerbell]

This is what I'll be wearing on Pirate Night...
