Fashion hijinks
The dotter and I went to the bookstore a week ago; I wanted a specific title. She kept asking if we could buy her a book, and I kept grumbling that she didn’t bother to read the ones she already had, so why should I buy her a new one?! But, in the end, I bought her…
A Hannah Montana “what’s your rock star style?” activity book, to wit, the Hannah Montana My Secret Superstar Syle Book
Much to my surprise, she is actually wanting to do the things in this book.
One of the activities was (of course) a quiz to determine your rock star style, just like well-known and loved Internet memes! As I was reading the questions, I knew what her answers would be, though she surprised me with a few. (For instance, she chose the “golden sling purse shaped like a guitar” over the “pink rhinestone and glitter handbag”.) She ended up being “Rock Royalty” instead of “Pop Princess”—which, if I had to peg her pre-quiz, would not have been my choice.
So one evening this week, we managed to dig out two single-color T-shirts and do the “Tear ‘Em Up!” “punk” look mixed with the “sassy” look. I thought it turned out pretty well! When I wanted to do pics, the dotter insisted on putting on her ratty old capri jeans, which she adores and I refuse to let her wear to school or summer camp.
Here are the results; this pose shows the cute rucked-up sides:
Another view, showing the asymmetrical sleeves (one side was laced, the other side was plain):
And then a third view, where the dotter did a back bend into a bridge, just because:
She wore it to sleep that night. She wore it to summer camp the next day.
BUT. She wouldn’t take her sweatshirt off. By the time I picked her up late in the afternoon, the sweatshirt had come off, and her 20s-ish camp counselor gushed over how rockin’ the style looked.
Anyway, the end result is that the Sekrit Superstar Style book is actually kind of fun. Who would’a thunk it?
(ETA: Oh, just an FYI. The price of the Amazon Kindle has dropped to $189—the result of competition from the Apple iPad. Anyway, if you’re interested in a Kindle now that it’s almost worth while buying, if you use my Amazon search link, or the links above, I get a leetle referral $$. Hint, hint.
