kind acts of randomness - volume 9

Its been a few weeks since the last installment of KAOR. I was beginning to feel as if I was the only one laughing at these pictures. But, for your viewing pleasure, I present to you...Taffeta Girl.


The first thing that I think of when I see this picture is that little dinosaur in Jurassic Park that looks all sweet and innocent until the fat man makes him mad and then his head flares and he spits poison in his eyes. Yep, that's what she looks like.

Looking at the blue taffeta takes me back to the 80's. My dad worked at a high school for several years and when I was 8ish, I was lucky enough to get to go to one of their dances. All the girls had on beautiful taffeta dresses with puffy sleeves. All of the dresses had long skirts with bunches of petticoats underneath to make them fluffy. They were the kind of dresses I only dreamed of. They were perfect "twirling" dresses - girls, you know what I'm talking about - where you put it on and just can't stop spinning around and around. So beautiful. So puffy and fluffy. So bad bridesmaid dress. So 80's.
