International Dress Up Day #006 Pictures!
[ 23 July 2007 ]
I love all of these so much, don’t they bring a huge smile to your face?!
Beth:
“From the time I knew that I could get a job until I discovered theatre in 6th grade, I wanted to be a Paleontologist. I thought it would be the coolest thing ever to muck around in the dirt finding dinosaurs + putting them together. The first photo is me looking for something to dig up, + in the second photo I have decided that maybe that rock is an egg, with something great inside.”


I love the dog sidekick! So awesome!
Anna Rose:
“When I was 5 I wanted to be a boy. They got to do all the fun stuff like swear, fart and play in the mud.”

I went to the school where the shirt came from! Nice mo’ too…!
Bex & Poppy:
“Well I spoke with Poppy (she is only 2 1/2) & she decided that when she was 5 she wanted to be just like you. So here she is in her ‘Outfit of the Day’. All chosen by her with some quirky little fashion tricks (a la GALA) to boot. We had a great time taking the pics & I swear she posed all on her own! She’s blowing GALA a kiss in the second one.”

TOO CUTE for words, oh my god! I LOVE the diaper turban, I don’t think I have the courage to pull that one off myself!
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala ![]()









I love Anna Rose’s “boy”! :-D
Oh Poppy you are so yummy!
Don’t you just hate that after about the age of 3 it is no longer appropriate to wear your undies/nappy on your head!
Gala you are definitely the one to bring childhood fashion tips into the mainstream! You have the power. Poppy could be your adviser and together you could launch the look of the decade!
That is weird. I also REALLY wanted to be a paleontologist when I was little.
Actually, I still kind of hold that dream…but, alas, I hold an English degree, not dinosaur bones. :(
that’s a funny coincidence i share with anna rose — when i was 4 i really wanted to be a boy and was so convinced i was a boy till i was about 7. also, my name is rosanne! ;)
all of these fashions are so darling! i love them.
Nadine — Yeah, I love the crotch-scratching, it’s a very authentic touch ;D
tokyomade — I can see us in the front row of fashion shows, Poppy on my knee, blowing raspberries at the skirts she dislikes & kisses at Karl Lagerfeld, ha!
I wanted to be so many things … but really all I consistently wanted to be is a writer…and I don’t really think there is a specific dress for that :)
Brilliant pictures! This is so fun!
When I was young, lets say about seven or eight when I first started reading the Harry Potter books, I wanted to be Hermione Granger. I, like her, was (and still am) intelligent and loyal, while still having a bit of fickeless about me.

Poppy says “Weady when you are GAWA!” XX
Brittany: waaah, let’s play in the dirt together!
Thanks for posting this, Gala! :)
OMG I can’t believe there is another Chilton girl that reads this….classic!
Kerry: We’re everywhere! muahahahaha. What year did you ‘graduate’?
