One of yesterday's incredible op shop finds:
1960s shantung maxi with beautiful beading...
just perfect for some nonsense.
Here's my friend Jane and my sister in law Alice.
Two more understated, poised and elegant ladies you could never hope to meet...
Faffing about in Alice's backyard after several
'mango and passionfruit daiquaritas'
(that's what they were called, according to Alice)
Glamour!
Sophistication!
Of course, I am always above such shenanigans...
Then we headed off to 1980s karaoke, where we lived on prayers, shook all night long, turned around bright eyes, were super freaks, love shacked and I can't remember what else. But oh my gerd it was such a fun night I woke up with a limp, no voice and achey cheeks from laughing. I'm the eye of the tiger of winningness!

Happy weekend you guys...
hope you're having half as much fun as I am!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You're lucky I don't live near you. I'd be hanging round your wardrobe like a bad smell begging to borrow your clothes all the time.
I'm so in love with that dress. It looks perfect on you.
Love the back garden boogying. Their expressions are priceless. xxx

This post really made me smile- looks like a lot of fun was had!!!
I'd come along the next time if I was closer heheh.
The dress is ab fab!
Ha! Love the dancing!! Great dress you found. That's a wonderful color on you.
That dress is stunning, I love the colour and the detail round the neckline.
You ladies look like fun to hang around with - can I come on karaoke nights out?! :P

Insanely jealous of your night out. As a child of the 80s, I still think it's the decade of the best dance music evah.
All y'all look extremely gorgeous. The mugging shots made me smile.
This sounds like quite the party - girls dancing, enjoying, laughing.
Looks like you funky chicks had a hoot and a half!
I did some waitressing in a karaoke bar many moons ago, it was hilarious but some of the punters took it way too seriously; handbags at dawn stylee).
Every Friday they had a competition with a £50 cash prize and on that night all the stars came out...we had white Whitney, flat-chested Dolly, shaky hands Elvis (very nervous but a great voice) and Franco (his actual name) Sinatra.
Love your gifs, the gurning & posing is muchly impressive.
Frigging stunning dress, the colour is awesome and you look perfectly lovely.
Lot's of love,
Jennie...xXx
What a hoot. Love the dancing rose bush.
About as much Fun as one can have without being Arrested I presume? *Winks*
Dawn... The Bohemian
Shatoooong!!! You are the gif-ted queen of my heart!!I'm spending my weekend at home but I felt the happiness came out from your photos and I really have been there shaking my 'derriere' with you and your beautiful friends and singing aloud to 80's karaoke!!
You girls made my Saturday!
I really can't describe how fun and cool is this post!!
I love you more than Nonsense!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Amazing dress!!!! What a fun night-- those gifs are great!!
Kind of jealous of all the girlie fun...
Becky :)
Love your animations, and your gorgeous dress! It's obvious you had a great time (mango daiquiris - yum!!), and so good you woke up in your own home and not in jail. With friends like that, who needs men? Well, men are useful for something or other.
Your new dress fits perfectly. This weekend I'll probably have point 1 percent of the fun you're having - but it can't be helped. I'll throw my extra shares your way. So it's your duty to use them wisely (frivolously) with your awesome friends!
What utterly hiliarous and fabulous shenanigans you look to of had. Lets face it 1980's music especially the power ballads were made for crazy karaoke nights. What better way to have such wonderful fun looking that fabulous too.
Look at you hot bunch of wenches! The drinks sound tasty and you all look scrumptious! I adore your new pink dress, so sexy mama! I can only imagine the trouble you ladies cause!
Xxoo
Faaaaantabuloustic dress! Perfect on you!
; )

ErmaGERD!!! I knew I was going to weep over the beauty of that frock!!!
It's fecking ORGASMICALLY GORGEOUS!!!
Jaysus I wish Id been there for such a fun night!!! The gifs are too splendid, and sum up the loony energy perfectly!
The hairpiece flirted up the frockage like a dream.I'm SO jealous! JEALARSE!!!
Wah!
You woke up with a limp?! Hell, yes, you had a grand night indeed!!!
Huzzah!
Love you more than shantang and beading and screeching maniacally!!
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Wow that dress is gorgeous! Love the color on you.
What great fun y'all must have had.
How fucking dare you have all the fun without ME?!
Oh alright, you're allowed. Cos I love you, I'm prepared to let you see other people. For drinks, and booty shaking and 80s karaoke. But I can't say I'm not feeling a pang or two of jealousy...
Luckily Jane and Alice are completely suitable company for a bonkers evening - look at those hilariarse gifs! The one where Jane is staring at your boobs while you and Alice bump behinds is my fave.
That 60s frock is an absolute beauty, can you believe you found something so completely stunning in an op shop? Isn't it perfection?
Jane is an early contender for Face Puller of the Year, Alice is the hottest mama in town in that blue skirt (what a great bum she has!) and as for you, my darling, I'm trapped by your love, and I'm chained to your side.
Love! xxxxx
Oh what would we do without our Girlfs??!!
These are just freaking awesome. Love it to bits! xx
Look at all the fun oozing from this post! You all bloody rock and are gawjuss. An dthat is one fuck of a hot pink frock.
Luuuurrrrveee.
xxxxxx
I really want to come to karaoke with you. I love these mental gifs.... Jane in particular has a great face, I love her hair too! That dress is totally gorgeous, what a find! Loves you! xxxx

*HHEHEEH* I could not stop laughing while looking at this post. I love the GIFS!!
You three must have attracted a ton of attention.
You look absolutely GORGEOUS in that dress 'MEEEEEEEE'OWWWWWW'
You're awesome and that pink maxi is amazing!
It looks like you had a swell time! I am smiling because of the .GIFs. Wonderful!
You all look gorgeous ;-) Life is so much about having fun live it, love it, rock it. dee xx
Skillz! Love your wigglin' arses and that divine maxi with orange jellies, just the thing for disco dancing in the yard! You all look fabulous, I wish I could have played.
Love you more than cocktails. xxx
Ooh those gifs are the funniest thing I've seen in a long time, you three should make a film now! It would be like a Muriel's wedding/Priscilla Queen of the Desert spectacular, and they are two of my favourite films ever. xx
That is a whole lotta shakin' goin' on in your backyard! What a a gorgeous fuschia frock you found. I think Jane wins the prize for having the most rubbery face. I am a bit envious of your uber-fun weekend as I had a very quiet one. We need to develop a teleporter in our spare time so we can hang out together - the next roller derby game is March 1st, see what you can come up with between now and then ;)
You're a gif-meister, as well as being such a dang sexy-arse!!!
Love all that wiggle jiggling. x
HOW THE FROCK DID I MISS THIS POST?!? I'm pissed at myself. Bad karen! BAD! I think I know where I'll be spending most of my time tomorrow: makeagif.com. I almost feel whorenay with excitement. Anyhow, all of you ladies look so fun and gorgeous. I feel jealous. I want to be there shimmying and Cold Chiseling my way into the memory books. Yes, that was my lame attempt at humour. Me so tired.
What a wonderful find! I wish i could find something like that that fits me
You look girls like you had lots of fun
Good to be crazy!
Ariane xxx
Mwahaha,you are the gif queens! Giffers? No, that doesn't sound complimentary. Who's the best warbler?

THESE GIFS JUST MADE MY DAY! Sitting at home with a newborn means that my days are a little devoid of fabularseness right now - luckily for me I know I can always get my fix right here.
Bwahaha! This is amaaaaazing! You all are simply fabularse! Looks like you had an absolutely fab time! Only wish I could hop on a plane & come over to party with y'all!
Aysh xox
