My niece invited me to her ballet class’s production of the nutcracker; she has been in the ballet studio’s cast for years. I can’t believe how well she has come; I believe she could really become a professional ballet dancer. I decided to go with my parents since we are all going to the same place and gas is expensive lol. (¬_¬”)
I bought a dress off of Unique Vintage! It’s my favorite dress brand; I didn’t buy it specific for this event- but because I love having a designated seasonal dress! I don’t really want a lot of specific clothes for just Christmas, but a good quality dress to last me this year’s events? Of course! I didn’t want this dress, actually, I actually wanted the gingerbread green dress, but it sold out like immediately. (╥_╥)
But this one is gorgeous! I love how I look in this dress; I wear fat-like fine satin.
I purchased my niece a bouquet; you should always gift performers flowers after a performance. (✿◕‿◕)
I found this on Aliexpress and it came in time!! I was so happy I got super concerned it wouldn't make it in time, it didn't come with the box but with a super noisy plastic that literally made it slide and rustle around the entire performance, I was so embarrassed.
So my hair is actually based on the style Asuna Yuuki wears, yeah say what you want about Sword Art Online but it tickles my brain in the right places. I want to try and do a hairstyle similar to Tohru Honda next.
The costume design was beautiful; it was so vivid and glittery, I could see the detail on the stage from the back of the back row. My niece was some sort of clown child? She was very adorable and loved her expressions and how she dances on stage. She’s always been into imagination play.
Her siblings were there, and of course, her brother was so happy to see me. I got the tightest hug from the little man. I love him so much. Her older sister was happy to see me, but she's in middle school now and feels she can't be so affectionate. I literally had to beckon her over and wrap my arm around her shoulder, she tried to stand with enough room for Jesus, lol.
No matter what, I love them all so much.
After the long drive and the hour-long performance, it was time to go home. But she was happy, and told me a few days later all the Hello Kitties had sticks up their butts to keep them up and she had to remove them. I think that was the fun part for her.
I love her and I can't wait to be apart of more memories with her.
