c checked the invite and said it's not 80s themed,
we were supposed to come dressed as in attire representing 1964
{the year marty was born}. thank goodness he checked!
we weren't sure what was worn this particular year as we weren't born yet,
but after some research, we learned men wore white short sleeved dress shirt,
pants, and the woman stayed at home and always looked perfectly coiffed in
heels and form fitting shirt dresses. {think leave it to beaver}
i ended up wearing a black shirt dress, which i couldn't even accessorize
because i my faux pearl necklace and earrings were no where to be found.
{they turned up the next day in a random drawer}
i was happy to see others find some really creative and fun costumes.
as the night progressed, there was a LIMBO contest.
i love limbo so i jumped in and prayed i wouldn't throw out my back. my gfriend rena {and owner of our old diamond street cottage}
and i ended up going head to head and tying for 1st place.
to break the tie, our hubbies had to see "how low they could go".
it was comical to watch the guys do it,
but c came through and the Gerbers were the victors!!
