Get me in the mood!

Get me in the mood!

Despite the lack of snow, and general Christmas feeling (yet)...when you hear the first tunes of Mariah Carey yodeling to the jingling sound of bells it’s time to run and undust the sequin dresses, polish the über-big jewellery and put any modesty on hold. It’s December for glamour’s sake, the most sparkling month of the year, and everything normally considered “over the top” or “too much” is now dearly welcome.

A million things to do and organize before the big event but in my mind I already started the annual competition how to outshine the christmas tree, as in sparkling heels and a kitsch outfit (Christmas jumper anyone?). Well, at least once a year it's appreciated to look like a disco ball on acid.

So, just to get me in the mood I decorated a little this weekend, popped some champagne in advance (glistening fluid: my best, where have you been for so long), and threw myself a little pre-christmas party, with the best attendees ever. Finally a reason to bring all shiny shoes on one table! You can bring on Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is Youuuuuuuuu”on repeat now, I’m sure that song was written for yet another pair of gorgeous heels.

It’s the most glamorous month of the year, and everything normally considered “over the top” or “too much” is not only appreciated, it’s a must. When you hear the first tunes of Mariah Carey yodeling to the jingling sound of bells it’s time to run and undust the sequin dresses, polish the über-big jewellery and put any modesty on hold: it’s December for glamour’s sake!

I personally can’t wait to hear my family laugh and sqeak when I start my annual competition to outshine the christmas tree, as a sucker for sparkles, I can’t wait to have a decent reason to look like a discoball on acid. So, just to get me in the mood I decorated a little today, popped some champagne in advance (glistening fluid: my best, where have you been for so long), and threw myself a little pre-christmas party, with the best attendees ever! Well, to me that looks all gorgeous. Bring on Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is Youuuuuuuuu”. And by that I mean at least one more pair of glittering heels!

Although the Dutch tend to clog almost every European Highway with their campers when going on holiday, they also like to spend their vacation in so called Center Parks: agglomerates of look-alike bungalows in the middle of nowhere with the charm of leftover 80ies commune attached. A place for pulled up socks in Adidas flip flops rather than decent inches and therefor an absolute no-to-go for moi. I thought.

Because in February, when the weather is as mournful as the sight of someone sporting shower sandals as decent footwear, 1.000 hipsters gather at exactly that place to celebrate for three days and nights. DJ’s, music, art, fashion, the art of being and celebrating yourself and with others and anything, EVERYTHING goes! If only I knew, but next year: Next year I will bring my very own inflatable plastic palm tree, a matching parrot and definitely those flip flops.

Won’t happen again that I’m almost breaking my legs in that slippery bitch of a poolside while dancing wildly to 80ies music.
