Bad Girl Ball

On Saturday is the annual Bad Girl Ball. It originated last year - is it too early to call it annual? - because all the men were deployed for the annual Bad Man Ball. So instead, why cancel the party? Let's have it be just us girls! Hence, this year, NAF Atusgi found another reason to have Bad Girl Ball - touting it as our "Half-Way Party." The Half-Way party is usually held half-way through a deployment and is meant to support and encourage spouses that you're almost done with deployment! While it doesn't really work as a half-way party - ohwell, it's still a fun and distracting excuse to plan.

Every squadron has come up with a theme. Some of them include 1940's military, original not-skanky Playboy Bunnies, and Hippy. VFA-192 - my squadron - decided on a Ghost busters theme. Yes, the classic 1984 sci-fi comedy. It's not sexy, but it sure is fun! We've got table decorations, costumes, and even a roll-call to the tune of the Ghost Buster's theme song all lined up. The creme-de-la-creme is the 18' papier-mache Slimer that Laura and I have worked on. But it really is the icing on the cake... Here's a sneak peak at what we've got planned.

Kelly, don't get jealous!! ;)





Slimer, not yet assembled.


Please refer to the plot of the movie to place what we're creating.



It wouldn't be as fun if our husband's weren't with us somehow!



Check back next week for the big reveal!
