I know! I mayyy be getting slef centered, or I just may be bragging that I Was An Irish Dancer. But BUT you guys want to know details, well, I'll dish the details.
Since I only have so many pictures to share until Shakedown Round II, work with me.
Foxy requested the second picture. I like her, so like I promised- here it is.
The picture is NOT of me Irish Dancing. Irish Dancers keep their hands at their sides. (Also known as Fire and Ice. Get it? Frozen arms, hot feet. no. Hott feet. better.) But it is me being a seventh grade ham, and that is my cousin in the background with her hair net in keeping her real curls curly. Sometimes even Irish Dancers have to roll Lunch Lady Style. Dat coo.
And now I'm going to go retrieve this other photo from the room that the baby is sleeping in. I told you I was faithful to you.
...
You can rest assured that I'm back, baby didn't wake up and AND I found more than one pictures. I'm still deciding how much is too much. But I will share this pic with you:
This answers
Kristen and
Salt's question about THE HAIR. Basically the night before an event, you sit at the kitchen table with a bottle of goop goop goop for hair and a hair brush and hairspray, and your mom takes like, 12 pieces of hair, goops it, sprays it then curls it in curlers. It took probably a good two hours. and 200 hundred curlers. (mom correct me if I'm wrong.) Then you wrap your head with every handkerchief you can find in your house to avoid getting the sleep frizzies. (see above) In the morning you pull the curls straight down and VOILA! Awesome hair. (Mom, I don't think I've ever said a good hearty "thanks." THANKS!)
Salt also asked how I got into Irish Dancing. When I was in kindergarden or first grade I saw some Irish Dancers performing and I beggggged my mom. We didn't have a school nearby, so we waited. Then in third grade a new Irish Dancing school opened up in the town I lived in. My mom signed me up asap.
Also, Salt, when we competed at competitions (called feis' said like fesh) we would win medals and trophies. But that will be for another post. Maybe next St. Patty's Day. :)
I'm leaving this post with a thick layer of self centeredness on me. But that's just blogging, no?
It's a skill I certainly don't have. And you have mad hair skills as a bonus.
ReplyDeleteAs a stylidt I have done that lovely type of style for girls' plays, recitals, and cheer. It is a long long process but it looks beautiful! Look how lovely you are!!!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! More pics, more pics!
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow, that's really something! I was talking about making the curls, of course, will the curls be okay if you toss and turn in your sleep? lol.
ReplyDeleteI think I should try this method, looking even prettier than ones I've seen recently, haha
DUDE! Little Kiera sleeping looks like child #1!!! TOTALLY! And I always thought she looked like hubby!
ReplyDeleteself-centeredness and narcissim is totally blogging--love it though (as most narcissists do)!
ReplyDeletethat hair tutorial sure sounds a lot like a black thing--all the rollers and wrapping sounds like a day at the salon to me... :)
Look how you are so adorable! Let the self-centeredness flow...it's your blog! Thank you for answering all my probably annoying questions.
ReplyDeleteI love how you just waited and suddenly an Irish Dancing school opened up. Because it just still seems random to me. I've never lived anywhere that had an Irish Dancing school. At least not to my knowledge. :)
Seriously, that is so effing cool. I love it. I used to curl my hair up like that just for the hell of it. When I'd take the sponge rollers out, it'd be all super tight curls stuck to my head - and then, eventually, the curls would fall and look pretty similar to shirley temple. Complete awesomeness right there.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of makes me glad my daughter won't even let me touch her hair.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would have the patience to do all that!
I've always wondered about the hair. That sounds like a lotalotalotalot of work...but how freaking super cute!! So, tell me...did you Irish dance at your wedding because there would have to be a video of that which we could promptly post to YouTube, yes?
ReplyDeletei love anything irish including bagpipes, kilts, and dancing. irish being my native homeland. back in 1432.
ReplyDeleteit wouldn't be blogging without a certain amount of self centeredness. but what else is blogging but a high tech way to talk about yourself!? It's great!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! It's educational! Love reading about the curls and Irish stuff. I never knew!
ReplyDeleteAnd aren't we all (bloggers) self-centered anyway?
WOW! I never knew there was so much involved in Irish Dancing. And I've never known someone who Irish dancing! This is very cool. I am behind on blogging so I am starting with this one and then going to your others. :) it's not self centered if your adoring fans are the ones who are asking for it. :)
