You might be a Redneck if...

Don and I are having our annual church bonfire at the end of this month. This will be either our 4th or 5th year (can't remember), but last year was the first year we had a theme. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that the idea of last year's theme came from a haircut I got. As my hair guy was blow drying my new 'do, I commented that I could TOTALLY pull of the feathered look from high school. Thus the theme of last year's event was the '80's. And boy, did people pull out all the stops! It was awesome! Here are a few of the fun looks:

So, our dilemma became what to make THIS YEAR'S theme. We all agreed that we couldn't possibly beat last year's (since the '80's were so close to all of our hearts!), but finally a friend came up with a close second... REDNECK!

So, now I am struggling with what to wear for the huge event. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty sure I know how I'm going to do my hair (if I can figure out how to get my roots temporarily black), and I've bought plenty of temporary tattoos for my neck. But clothes??? I think the biggest problem is coming up with something that my pride will let me wear! I mean, I could wear daisy dukes and a bikini top, but THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!!

I could use some suggestions. And if I've offended any of you rednecks out there, this is all in fun. I apologize. And please send me a picture of your favorite outfit! :)

Don't have a pic, but you could watch Tom Arnold's "My Big Redneck Wedding" on dishTV to get some ideas.

I'm thinking if I actually tried to wear Angelina Jolie's dress, the panty lines and bulges in the wrong places would qualify...

Wow. I heard about this event last year, but why have I never seen pictures until now? Those are priceless! Sorry, not sure I have any ideas for this year. My only thought would be to wear some band's t-shirt that's like 20 years old. I see a lot of those around where I live. Surely, Don has something like that in a closet somewhere. :o)
