I have painted MY parents at the Policeman's Ball (which my Mom was the Queen) - yes, I totally 'get' how a blue jeans girl like you can be entranced by the sparkle and the joy of those evenings.

I always love how my girls looks at me when I am getting ready for a party or something...Claire always goes, WHoa mommy...Like she forgets I can be glamourous once in a while. They both get so "into" the prep when I am getting ready. My mom never dressed up, never went anywhere, so it is neat to see them get excited over me. Your story makes me think someday maybe they will have those memories about me....How wonderful that you have them!<BR/>And I LOVE the photo edge with date left in the painting.
