sticker booth

Its been ages since I have last posted.....its a loooooong story.... but I have been meaning to post some sticker photo booth pics that I have found online. The last four years of college and more times since have been recorded on a sometimes weekly basis with pics taken at timezone for the cost of a few bucks split between us.... I don't know why I love them so much...... it kinda seems like the last daggy thing we have left to mark our youth, friendship and fashions..... when I was young I remember sitting by the radio chewing my paper to stick in the old Amway tape cassette in the hopes of catching my new favourite song off the radio straight from America on the "Rick Dee's Weekly Top 40".

Record, stop, rewind..... YES!!! I love my new song and it recorded well :)

Now my niece stores her music and pics on her Itouch with the fancy instant edit applications......she takes her pics on this device as well..... but there is something so unforgettable about trying to squeeze as many friends in the photo booth and then for the quick two second re-arrange before the next precious pic is taken..... you don't get 100 retakes until you look hot, like you do on your Itouch..... you only get 8 shots, so you gotta make it good....and then comes the negotiation with everyone.. "NO not this pic, I look rotten" "Yeah but I like this one, QUICK 30 seconds left to choose and edit"........7 minutes later you have your precious piece of sticker paper that must first be scanned if possible before the divide occurs between friends.......

I have many sticker photos that lay around my room, in old purses school books and shoe boxes... all which bring a smile to my face and a flood of memories of "that time" when we jumped in the photo booth with so and so......I <3 sticker booths.... I wanna buy one for my house if I ever have enough money just lying around.....don't mind me... I'm just laughing at my cool styles with the stripped polo and black trucker hat......

Footloose

So last weekend (this post is like 3 weeks late now, had terrible internet connection) brought the arrival of 3 extra housemates to Karalundi. Joanne, Theresa and Mae. It also brought the Meekatharra Ball, the annual event where our high school students get to dress up and strut their stuff in town. I dont know if you know what Aboriginal kids are like, but for the majority, they are painfully shy. They hate to stand out from their peers and their community and they rarely do things that draws attention to themselves. But on this night.... they were all really beautiful and I got a sense that they felt beautiful too....

But the funniest thing was that the whole hall and the students within the hall reminded me of Footloose. My sister mentioned it and I was like "YES!" thats exactly what is was like. You have all seen the movie with Kevin Bacon right? Awww it was sooo cute and country and the kids were too damn shy to dance..... luckily for them, we (being Theresa, Mae, Catherine, Joanne and I) have no shame and since we have had little to no club/music/dance experiences in a LONNNNNG time, we had no problem in getting up and dancing to a little bit of DYNAMITE (I knoowwwww extremely old, but hey it was that or Bad Moon Rising or White Wedding).... yeah the DJ was a little mean...... I think he may have been transported back to his ball days cause he seemed to play his favourites and was happily rocking out behind the DJ booth while we waited for a song we could dance to.

All in all, it was one of the most fun nights we have had all year.... the kids did get up and dance and we stayed on the dancefloor until we had to leave.
