When is sadie hawkins day 2010

I graduated in '93 and we had a Sadie Hawkins dance. Not sure where the idea came from, if anyone in my school actually knew what it was about, and I am pretty sure there weren't a lot of girls asking guys to it anyway. That is, unless they were dating and were going to go already. Sad how neat traditions get shoved by the wayside.

Thanks for the memory though! Bright Spark Joined: This month Posts: Bright Spark. Ladies Choice. In the comic, November 13 was Sadie Hawkins Day, where the unmarried women of Dogpatch got to chase the bachelors and marry the ones they caught. The event was first introduced in a strip published on November 13, Back in my day we made elaborate corsages and asked out the guy of our dreams to the dance Cee Jay 55 Joined: Apr Posts: Some Sadie Hawkins dances even had prizes for the most creative and biggest corsagges.

My brother once had one that had a teddy bear on a huge bow with all kinds of trinkets attached to the streamers hanging down to the floor. The teddy bear was a bout a foot tall. Man, it was HUGE!! Almost bigger than him at the time. Joined: Jul Posts: I made a huge corsage for a guy once. Poor guy was short and the corsage was way too long on him. That would be in the early 70's. There seems to have been some confusion regarding those costumes or whatever.

Sadie Hawkins was a mythical resident of a hillbilly locality named Dogpatch somewhere down south in Kentucky, Tennessee or the Carolinas, according to the comic strip. Thus, the students taking part in the Sadie Hawkins events should have been dressed like mountain williams hillbillies. This would involve overalls, somewhat tattered shirts and skirts and maybe fake pipes for the boys. Yet, the Tiger Yearbook entries for those years indicated hobo or tramp clothing was more popular for the festivities on those special school days.

This does sound like fun! So… But She would also find it ironic that the theme of the Sadie Hawkins race being a couples event had any representation of domestic violence, even if it's just a representation of a male being abused.

Because that's ok dont-cha-know. That being said, I'd still like to do the race. Not Nathan Fillion aka Paul said: This does sound like fun! Actually, that's girl-on-girl violence. It's actually from a Disney movie.
