Shelagh had her dance class on Saturday morning and did a great job "doing her moves" at the end of class when the parents can come in and watch the last 5 minutes. They put a picture up of the million-dollar costumes they will be wearing for the recital in May and, damn, they are hideous. I'm not generally a ruffly, poofy sleeves, taffetta and lace kind of girly girl so big poofy dresses and costumes are tough for me to swallow anyway. But, this lavendar monstrosity is under the category of child beauty pageant costumes. It's completely JonBenet (okay, that is kind of mean, but isn't she just the poster child for the pimped up kid pageant scene?). It's got a zillion skirt layers, has ruffles EVERYWHERE, is satiny purple and white with some sparkles and glitter, has huge poofy sleeves a la 80's prom dresses, and a hair thingy that is just weird. And it was $66. I do think tutu's are cute, so here's a pic of Shelagh in her tutu leotard that my aunties got her for Christmas this past year. She loves it and will rarely wear anything else to class.
