FLASHBACK: MY TSHIRT-THEMED birthday celebration (1983)

yesterday was my birthday. I did not have a celebration with a theme, or even a cake. I’m on getaway in Mexico, however, as well as that’s precisely what I want to be doing on my huge day.

Now let’s rewind 29 years.

My mother always threw innovative birthday celebrations for me. I believe this tshirt birthday celebration is my very first double digit birthday, the huge ONE-ZERO. I am in the front row, rocking the Dorothy Hamill haircut.

Each kid got a blank tshirt to decorate. We sat around a big dining space table which was covered in material markers, glue as well as googly eyes.

Jonathan Sheldon, the young boy in the top row, was one of my finest buddies for years. Seeing this photo of him in his robot present delights me, as does the message on his shirt, “Watch Out I’M JON”. Seriously I ought to send him a t-shirt to wear now that states that. {Къде е той сега? musician in L.A. band American Bloomers.}

My cousin Xan (front row) gets my award for many innovative shirt. I like the method she utilized up the space. Why yes, she did grow as much as graduate from art school. {Къде е тя сега? Bartending, breadmaking, as well as increasing two youngsters with her spouse in San Francisco, CA.}

Jessica Elliot, one more longtime bestie, is the left-most youngster in the front row, as well as she’s holding out her arms so you can see the rainclouds that she developed to make some type of perspiration joke. Глупаво момиче! {Къде е тя сега? Well-established jewelery designer as well as mom to one beautiful bit girl. See exactly how she turned her tshirt into a dress? I understood Jess would have a future in accessories!}

The tshirt celebration details:

Guests were instructed, through an invitation shaped like a tshirt, to find in their preferred tshirt. I understand mine was truly rainbow-y, the universal obsession of 10-year old women in the 80s.

The cake was a huge chocolate chip cookie cut into the shape of a tshirt. (Cheap as well as easy!)

Everyone embellished as well as took house their tshirt. Дейност? Check! celebration favor? Check!

From the other pictures, it appears like lunch was diy tacos with store-bought taco shells, as well as bowls of different fillings. Funny, I do quite much the exact same thing for numerous of the birthday celebrations I throw — however with routine tortillas.

Wasn’t my mother the coolest?
