I'm just going to share just a couple minutes on a big night story of mine.

I was remembering seventh grade.

Seventh grade.

That was the first year for my life that there was a dance that was co-ed.

That was a really big deal.

And I will admit to you that I was a girl that just always wanted a boyfriend.

I always wanted a boyfriend.

Never a pony.

Always a boyfriend.

And so it was the first school dance and I had a crush on this guy, Brad Moore, did not change his name, Brad Moore.

And he was kind of goofy and he had brown floppy hair and he played saxophone.

But I just thought he was, I thought he was incredible.

I had a huge crush on him.

And so I went to get a Halloween costume.

We were thrifting at the time, even then.

and I found this purple and gold jumpsuit that was all sparkly, like some Ziggy Stardust cover band fell apart, and they donated all their clothing.

And so I bought it, and I was gonna be a space alien.

Very seventh grade mentality.

And I was getting ready for the evening and I was pretty excited about the dance.

And my sister, my older sister, was an aspiring special effects makeup artist.
