I can't believe anyone still reads my blog with all of it inappropriateness. :)
I wanted to share this party that we do, because it is such a great thing. Every spring for the last three years we have had a "Naked Lady Party." Common just the name sounds fun, right? Don't worry it's not as scandalous as it sounds. Here's how it works:
Tell your friends they're invited to a Naked lady party. Everyone brings their clothes, purses, makeup, accessories (anything lady-ish) that they don't wear or use. Things once loved but don't fit, or you don't love so much anymore, or a gift you never loved so much; things that you would probably send to DI.
Each lady shows her items and then adds them to the pile. It was HUGE this year. I wish I had taken a picture. Then you draw numbers (1-13) and you go in order. Each lady gets to pick one item out of the pile according to their number. The last person gets to go twice, and then you go back up. 1,2,3...13, 13, 12, 11....1. Usually after one round of picks, we "free for all". People just kind of pick things and negotiate for what's left over. THEN, when it's all over, the host bags up all the left overs and brings them to DI.
It is seriously such a great thing. I think everyone always gets at least one thing they love, and this year I did so well. And every year something returns to the naked lady party that was picked up the year before.
Here's what I go this year...
5 shirts, 1 pair of jeans, 2 skirts, 1 fabulous dress, 1 pair of adorable shoes, and 1 pair of earnings. All for FREE. Awesome. In case you were wondering. My picks were the dress, then the brown fluffy skirt.
Will you comment what you got? If you post a picture on your blog, I'll link it so my other super jealous friends can check it out.

So I came home with a black shirt that was yours and my own pair of pants that I just couldn't part with.
um seriously...that is the BEST Idea I've ever heard!! I'm totallly doing that! :)
I didn't know it kept track of deleted comments! I realized I said the word "fun" too many times like a dork so decided to fix it. And now this comment is huge. Great...
I got a great black & white dress and quite a few really cute shirts that I love! They were pretty much all I wore for weeks after...okay, so I wore my own pants, but still way fun. Thanks Bethany for the extra donation for the YW in the ward when we had them do a politically correct Naked Lady Party--aka "Spring Swap".
You forgot to mention the shirt that you turned into the incredible baby dress like a day later. You got pictures, right?
