One More Time



For the very last time we will be gathering at Concord Mills just outside of Charlotte NC for the midnight showing of Harry Potter. We will be making complete fools out of ourselves as usual.
Pictured above is a fraction of the jewelry I will be draped in. I love an occasion to wear nearly half of my jjewelry collection. Nearly. (who am I kidding? I'm not even wearing a quarter.) So stay tuned for photographic evidence that I, and my cohorts, are mildly retarded.

Last Thursday night...

...We had a family reunion. The usual suspects raided their closets (or made a corset and full bustle skirt in 24 hours) to hit the Harry Potter movie premier. As per usual we leaned toward the Baddies (they are just sooooo much more fun!). Brittany was set on Narsissa Malfoy so we kinda fell in around her. Richard opted for Lucius Malfoy. Alicia (my lil sister) made her second round as Bellatrix LeStrange, and her first time seeing Potter with us as a group. She's been at school. I picked the only remaining option; Andromeda Tonks. Ok. So if you don't Read Harry Potter you may be a little lost. How are these characters connected? Why was Andromeda my "Only option"? Well, I'm glad you asked.

These three are the Black sisters. Each one is married(Narsissa to Lucious) and two of which are considered villains. Andromeda, not so much. Anyway, we hit the theater loud and late. Mayhem ensued.
What the hell?
Get that out of your mouth.
Her pennant says GO VOLDY! A joke from this girls art. Makani. Awesome hilarious stuff.
We frequently refer to Andromeda as the useless sister. Her Role in the books was to give birth to Tonks. I prefer to assume she was interesting and had a great sense of humor.

We had a fantastic time. We all stayed out too late and were completely exhausted the next day, but hey, there is only one more chance!

Harry Pottah!

Tonight I give JK ten more of my hard earned dollars. I hate you JK.
Hopefully I will have more to post about over the weekend. You can read about my antics last time we went to a HP movie HERE.

Until then,

Harry Potter and The Half Shown Plot Line

So yes. Harry Potter was good. Not fabulous, but good. Enjoyable. I didn't leave the theater retching. By far the worst part of it was the near omission of the title plot. The movie draws nearly to an end, Snape has killed Dumbledore, the Death Eaters flee the scene, credits prepare to roll. Suddenly Snape spins on his heel and points at Harry. "OH Sh*t! We forgot about the title plot! Um.. I'm the Half Blood Prince, Not Voldemort. In case you were wondering. So, I'm gonna shove off then. You can roll credits now."
Ok, so not exactly like that. But you get the point.
The best part of the evening wasn't the flick anyway. It was the event. My crew of usual suspects mucked about in our dress-up bins until we could find suitable garments for the occasion. Brittany of course had two (yes 2) costumes on hand that she had made for previous book realises or movie premieres. One Azkaban prison uniform(donned by Jin), and one Quidditch Player (Beater for the Magpies. Complete with broom which she herself sported) I strung together a Bellatrix which was perfect to match Richard's Voldemort. We were a HIT.

The whole (evil) gangs here."Oh my Dark Lord let me be near you..."
"and gaze upon you..."
"...and kiss your hand" (people were staring for this one)
Brittany makes one hell of a Quidditch Player
Look! She's taken flight! The Magpies lost a very important match that Voldy Had a great deal of money riding on. Too bad for Britt. "AVADA KADAVRA!"
"JIN! Stop being so adorable! You are a hardened criminal who has gone completely Mad in Azkaban!"
Jin: "I can't help it. I'm just not good at being bad."
We had TONS of photos taken and we ended up on the news. Again. The camera man commented that were seemed quite at ease. Brittany just laughed and replied "We are used to it."
