December 31, 1999.
In a phase I like to call “anorexic chic”, I was ready to spend the most important night of the millennium with my bestie. Dressed to the nines, I made a very important decision the week earlier…
I was on again/off again with an ex-boyfriend. Having suffered a university heartbreak from a high school boyfriend, I couldn’t believe that he was not destined to be in my life. So when he called a week before New Year’s and asked what I was doing on the most special New Year’s ever, I faltered. Of course I wanted to spend it with him. Of course I wanted to run to his side.
But, my best friend wanted to attend the New Year’s Eve celebration at the Regal Constellation, one of the hipper hotels in Toronto at the time. And with only a few days left to grab tickets, I had to make a decision: do I blow her off for my first true love, or do I stay strong and move forward?
I finally decided that I wanted to start the new millennium with a clean slate. Because I couldn’t be certain about the future with the ex, but I could say yes to the girl who had nursed me through the heartache.
And we partied because it was 1999.
Cool dress!
Thank you :)
Good choice to stick with your friend on New Year’s instead of the heart breaker! And that dress looked gorgeous – great shade of blue on you!
Thanks Lindsay = blue is my favourite colour!
Hey Lena – although skinny, you look beautiful! I love your hair style too.
Thank you Marissa! Sometimes I miss my short hair!
Good for you for sticking with your friend! That’s a hard choice to make sometimes. It says a lot about you as a friend, too.
Thanks a bunch. It was the right decision to make :)
you were and still are stunning! but yes you were quite thin in that picture
Thank you Chandra :) I could use a hamburger or two there, LOL
Awesome! Great decision, nice dress!
Thank you Nicole!
Wow, great picture, nice printing. The 90`s were good years for me, I do not remember doing much for the end of 99. Glad you made a good start to the new millennium.
Thank you Lori :)

And look how everything turned out!

I was partially expecting the ‘Rachel’ hair on you haha. But I love the blue cut out dress, very nice!
Hahaha I DID have the Rachel in grade 10!!
You look so beautiful! I love that you stuck with your friend over the boy.
Thank you Susan :)
Pretty girl! And that hairstyle was so cute on you.
So.. you weren’t getting all prepared for the end of the world when it hit Y2K? Remember all that ridiculous hype?
I do! I don’t think I ever believed it though… I feel like there would be meteors or other universal events towards the end of the world :)
My you sure looked lovely in that dress
