A ladies night of this proportion would call for some preparation though. I quickly set about making my list. Party Suit - Pil-Sung; Party Shoes - semi-Pil-Sung depending on the weather; Party Hair - hmmmmm, could use some work.
I bet you're wondering what a party suit is huh? Well, there is a long tradition here in Korea that the spouses get a special outfit made with the squadron colors. They resemble a flight suit, but are either dresses, pantsuits, or even shorts. Don't worry, I'll post a picture of mine below. The suits are custom made to fit the person perfectly. After you get the suit, then the real fun of customizing comes into play with patches and embriodery. You can get patches like flags for where you've lived, where you're from, college insignias, other squadrons you've been to, and even smiley faces. Pretty much if you think it you can get a patch for it or have it embroidered on your suit.
Since you're dressing up, some people feel you might as well go all out. This is where the shoes and hair come into play. And you can get just about anything in Songtan for what you think you should look like. I had bought a short pink wig a few months ago, but I just wasn't feeling it was quite right. See below for what I finally picked.
I'm still trying to acheive greatness in my party suit, but I think I had a first good showing. I didn't get a good picture of the whole thing, so I'll post my favorite pics from last night.
Pil Sung!
