TRIPLE THREAT BDAY BASH

Lan, Buu Linh & Kelcy bday bash was a HIT! Thank you all that joined us, you made our night fabuulous!

Look at Lan and I, we've lost our pink sailor-ish dresses THIS bday! Luck was on our side, the bad weather skipped over town and we were able to drop it like it's HOT.

Lan opted for a black V-neck soft blocked graphic flowy bottom dress for her C-class for CLASSY "getting into her 30's" look. Meanwhile Kelcy and I went classic with our slick selves with soft patterns in our top & dress. Nothing too busy anywhere else but the DANCE FLOOR! Haaaaaaaaaay!

Right behind you G-Lan, December babies ROCK

Just as we used to share in our birthdays in the past we try to continue the traditions AND THIS YR WE'RE ROCKIN' OUT THE RIGHT WAY.

This particular birthday pic from 1984 pulls all my Pham cousins together. We don't know who's birthday this party is for even though cousin Bryan is in front row & licking cake (he licked all our cakes). The attention is drawn towards Lan and my pink outfits. Pink?! Yes.

Bangs too? Yes.

Lan MUST have heart-ed the sailor look; we see it once again, this time with a V-neck straight flap over top and bow look. I have a semi-sailor-ish look going. The lacy ruffled edging makes it confusing though. Lots of lace too for my currnt taste; or maybe it was intended as bib? I don't know. My My Ly, mother and inspiration, is not available for comment.

This year we're rocking it it out right. Stay tuned for talk about our bday outfits, they actually involve clothes, not that bday outfit.

Happy Bday G-Lan!

Happy BIG bday G-Lan! A.K.A. Lannie Pooh, Chi Lan, Pham Phoung Thi Lan, Be Lan and my favorite, L'enfant Plaza. Today we celebrate Lan's bday and the number 30!

Dating back to this picture, May 1985, we can see how the trends for party dresses have transpired. The one detail that stands out for me is the scalloped edging around the sailor bib necking. Keep the look strong and rock out this bday to a look you can look back on 20 years from now and say...haaaaaaaaaaaaay, mmmmmmmmmmmkaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Just one request Chi Lan, can I have an autograph pic this year w/ that same starry look you give us here? Watch out! More than anything, celebrate 30 years of looking fabulous and more flan for Lan!!!!
