Okay, they were bubble gum cigs but it sure was fun. We spent the day in the Twin Cities on a community education trip called "Tacky Tour of the Twin Cities".We started off with breakfast at the H-E-double hockey sticks Kitchen then met two wild tour guides from the Wabasha Cave tour group. Gladys wore glitter and beaded purple slacks along with a lime green turtle neck and orange print shirt and her "sister" Virginia wore a knit dress, glamorous fur piece and french twist wig which highlighted her 5 o-clock shadow perfectly.
Who knew that when the State Fair site was selected the poor farm had to move to a street named Prosperity Avenue? Or that Newman's bar has been open since 1887 and had a fire alarm IN the bar so local firefighters
could relax while at work?The best part of the trip was our 13 minute shop-a-thon at the AXMan where I purchased two wiggly lobster
pens.There were 45 people on the bus and although tacky attire was encouraged only 4 brave souls actually took the suggestion to heart and dressed up.
You will never guess who won the prize for being the tackiest dresser! Or maybe you will when you see the pictures posted on this blog in the next few days.
Stay tuned.
I am not at all surprised that you wore the tackiest outfit. Even if the entire bus would have dressed up I am sure you still would have won. Let's face it...no one can beat you!
