Cinderella For A Day

The traditional cake cutting ceremony

We posed as we were waiting for the bus. It was great, there was bus transportation to and from your home so no one drove drunk.

Japanese wife's of important dignitaries having some dancing fun

Rene and I attended the Air Force Ball last night. It was a celebration of 60 years of service. I was intrigued by the traditional customs and prestigious guest list both from the military and Japanese dignitaries. Dress Attire: Semi-formal dress and Mess Dress for active duty. Getting Rene's Mess Dress together was quite a task this week. Everything had to be just right from the cuffs, to the medals. Unfortunately, when you live overseas the military clothing store items do go fast. We had decided just two weeks ago we were going, so getting medals, alterations, etc... was cutting it really close. At the end of the day, we did it. Rene looked so handsome in his Mess Dress. We had a great time as we celebrated with friends and great music entertainment. It was interesting to see Japanese ladies in their Kimonos dancing Western pop music. I was glad I was able to experience such a traditional celebration. All I can say to describe the night was glam, glam, and more glam.
