Cinderella

It's that time of year. Military ball time! I am so stinkin' excited! We've only been to one other ball in 8 years, thanks to deployments. I am so happy they are having a ball before our time in the Army is over.

Now comes the hard part..finding a dress. Hair, makeup, shoes, dress.. basically, looking amazing. I found my dress today actually.. at Ross. Oh yah. I did. a $90.00 dress for $20.00, brand new, tags still on it!

Ladies, let's not look trashy. Don't let your tata's hang out, don't let your booty show when you bend over. Military balls are about CLASS and beauty. Not who is sexier. It's a fine line between looking classy and trashy. Nothing is worse than the NCO wife who has her lady bits hangin all over.

Military balls are about tradition and elegance. It's about being Cinderella. Keep your bright pink eyeshadow for the clubs, Keep those tata's for your man. Keep that booty covered. Also, if at all possible, keep as many tattoos covered as possible.. Now isn't the time to show off your new butterfly boobie tat.

Here's the thing....your spouses superiors will be there, every last one of them. Your behavior reflects your spouse. Especially if your spouse is an NCO or has a Command position, what you do, how your act, and how you look reflects on them. So getting schnackered at the bar then grinding up on your husbands friends, well, let's hope you're friends with them too if you're gonna be doin all of that, Probably isn't the best idea.

Enjoy being Cinderella...Not Betty Boop.
