Thanks to all who gave us fab costume ideas for the 30th Anniversary Showing of Purple Rain at the Balboa. * We threw together some last-minute creations and did not even consider the fact that there would be a costume competition until the organizers of this fab affair steered us towards the auditorium on the right, where the competition would be fierce!
And I mean Fierce! Look at my girl Corvette as Wendy! Look at her. If the button placement doesn’t bring tears to your eyes, I don’t want to know you.
She’s not going to put a dark cloud over you.
And look, look how Pepper acts like all her brains are in her cleavage. Oh! Oh! Even better is how Butterscotch manages to look exactly like a cross between a 17 year old girl and a magician, capturing Prince’s essence perfectly.
King Kong? No, but here…pick a card. Any card.
My Lisa was just a pair of lace gloves and a little back-combing, but standing next to these three, I was confident in getting fourth place.
Excuse me, do you have a few minutes to talk about purifying yourself in Lake Minnetonka?
And I got it! You already saw places one through three. And guess what? They gave out exactly FOUR PRIZES! It was the most 80s-movie moment of my life. Corvette won the DVD, which we will soon be blogging about whilst drunk. I got a poster which will soon be framed and put on my wall because I am at that age when I put posters in frames.
Oh, and for those smart-asses who think we’re too old for this, here is a picture of us about ten years ago when were also too old for this.
Suck it, haters.
*And apologies to anyone who sat near us. What can we say? We like Purple Rain. Loudly.
slumber party movies 
Loved having you all there – u rocked it!
We are already planning our costumes for Ghostbusters.
I love this post so much!
