so the utah league of credit unions hosted the annual meeting for credit unions this weekend. the decor was amazing - our graphics guy tom is the champion of art. it looked incredible! the theme was old 20s and 30s movies/hollywood theaters... it was a great idea.
except for our uniform/costumes.
thats right. this is what we looked like. dancing monkeys. we had the red vests, red bowties and they even made us hats. (the fact that we all refused to wear them professes how truly awful they were.) just the vests looked fine. however, we soon realized that women's white oxford shirts were not crafted for ties. most of the women's shirts only had buttons to their collar bone, 
so we couldn't button the top to make it work with the bowtie. someone suggested we just wear them as a choker, but as soon as we did we suddenly had the urge to deal cards at a blackjack table in vegas, or to serve drinks (also in vegas), or as one of the committee members put bluntly, "join chip 'n dales". ha ha we all got a good laugh out of it as we tossed the bowties aside and went on our way to make credit union employees feel like they were having a truly magical movie theater experience.

just pray that next year our outfits are not comparable to a monkeys.
