I arrived earlier than everyone else around 9 am (it was supposed to start at 10). All the activities were paid for by my work place so why not have fun and let the job carry the bill.
I wore:
My old beat-up Prima oxfords,
Thrifted Ralph Lauren Courdoroys Polo Jeans (Made in Jordan),
JCP East5th shirt (Made in Indonesia)
Aeropostale thrifted cardigan
Steve Madden purse
Thifted necklace, earrings from Steinmart and bracelets from the late 80's from Pier One Imports.
The pool table area and the other side of bowling lanes. I do play pool, terribly though!
My niece had 3 birthday parties at this bowling area; I spend a lot of time around this arcade playing at the foosball machine.
We took 4 lanes with and without bumpers.
Mine didn't have the bumpers, and many times my ball just went into the channel instead of hitting the pins.
My balls of choice...
This is how I roll with my big pink ball.
By the way it looks empty but there were about 22 of us and it took some coordination to get my pictures taking without having my co-workers in the background.
Its not a secret but I just prefer to keep my blogging experiences outside my work experiences.
I have a good life and at the end of the day I prefer to just keep my stuff to myself and to all of you.
Yeah, I got some really bad moves. I'm a terrible bowler but a great cheerleader; I was cheering and clapping and jumping up and down all the time that I was not bowling. I guess that why they keep asking me to participate in these activities.
Here I'm showing you how not to get strike while having lots of stupid fun.
After 12 pm they turn on the music, the lights and the large tv screens. I bowled so much better when the music was on.
Maybe it was the 80's club flashbacks!
This was our free, greasy and so delicious bowling area made pizza and of course my choice of soda was the orange one. It was yummy in a terrible kind of way.
However after 2 1/2 hours of screaming, jumping, moving and badly bowling; free lunch was good enough to eat.
I was one of the last one to leave; as I like to start the fun early and make it last...
will be posting the second part of the day in another post.
Carinos,

What fun - I haven't been in an arcade FOREVER! We've both been loving 80s music!!

I love your little bowling outfit, you look so cute! And fun, what fun. I bet you make a lovely cheerleader, with that big smile!
My approach to bowling is enthusiastic, but completely useless.
I totally understand about wanting to keep your work and your blogging separate. xxx
You look adorable! I haven't been bowling in years.
Next time you have to take me, right??
Have a lovely weekend, dear Ofelia
I love bowling, and I have my own pink bowling ball! I go every week, but still cannot figure out how to be consistently good at it.
Hi there! Sounds like you had a really fun amazing time, bowling is great! I love your electric blue bag and jacket-they look fabulous!
Sarah, its was a lot of fun; what is not to love about 80's music?!
Fleckleface, I like the enthusiastic, but completely useless. It also perfectly describes my approach.
Yes, the work place is not place for blogging expressions.
Birdie, you need to give it a try, its stupid fun!
Sacramento, I take you bowling and you take me to a tapas place.
Val, you bowl every week?? Impressive!
My good friend Luz is part of a bowling league in New Jersey and she loves it.
Sharon, thank you! It was a cheap good time. I got my bag for myself for my birthday and the cardigan is thrifted.
I'm a terrible bowler but have so much fun! You make me want to don a cute vintage bowling shirt and go for a roll!
Bella, you should!
I would love to see you with a bowling shirt, bowling!
I have a great pair of vintage bowling shoes---but they don't help me bowl any better, ha ha!
Wouldn't it be fun if we could all go bowling together? Blog Bowling!
Looks like you had a fun time! I still have my bowling things but last time I used them I slipped on an ice cube and broke my ankle!
I haven't been bowling in years! I am entirely useless and even more appalling once fuelled with alcohol, I'm far better at cheering, too!
You look adorable in your bowling outfit! xxx
I only went once and nearly dropped the ball on my foot as I didn't realise how heavy they was, looks like you had a great time, great bowling outfit :)
Tilda, blog bowling sounds terrific!
I'm a silly and terrible bowler.
Boopnut, oh; may I said that is a difficult experience to get over!
Vix, cheering its a lot of more fun; especially when fuelled by alcohol!
Claire, your almost drop the ball on your foot!
I'm so sorry but that's very funny.
I believe that it was probably not funny to you at the time but looking back at it... its quite funny.
Cute bowling outfit!
Looks like you had fun~
xoxo
Yes, i agree: we have a good life. You look like you are having fun!
Paula, its was a lot of fun and thank you.
Shefali, hi my dear! I did had a lot of silly fun!
You totally made bowling stylish!!! Love the outfit! Not to mention, it looks like you had a blast!!! (I never thought I'd crave bowling alley pizza but that photo is making me hungry, lol).
Wendy, the bowling alley pizza was so good! Or maybe I was just too hungry.
It's kind of weird how fun bowling still is... Love all your moves with that pink ball!!!
PinkCheetahVintage, I like how you put that's is kind of weird that bowling is still fun; because you are right no matter how long ago you bowl when you start again is the same fun as the last time you did it.
Wow, how fun does this look!? To be honest, I have not been bowling in ages. Always a good time I remember though. Enjoy your week. xo/Madison
Madison, you should give it another try, I think that you will have lots of fun as well!
great outfit with my favourite blue shades! you look charming and bowling looks like so very much fun!
