DI\u00c9 tyd van die jaar is haarkappers, kleremakers, skoonheidsalonne, fotograwe en bloemiste sommer baie besig. Ek hoor van dansklasse wat geneem word. <\/p>\n
Dis natuurlik weens die matriekafskeidseisoen.<\/p>\n
Talle skole het reeds die eerste grootmensaand aangebied die jaar, en vir nog ander l\u00ea die aand voor. Skole doen groot moeite om die geleentheid spesiaal te maak. <\/p>\n
Party skole het \u2019n tema, en ander hou \u2019n spoggerige ete by \u2019n spesiale plek.<\/p>\n
My eie matriekafskeid aan die Ho\u00ebr Meisieskool Helpmekaar in Johannesburg, is \u2019n heerlike herinnering. My skoonsus Myra het vir my \u2019n pragtige sagte pienk strooimeisierok van \u2019n tydskrifprentjie af gemaak. <\/p>\n
Dit was \u2019n lang skouerlose rok van satyn met \u2019n wit organza jakkie bo oor. My hare was opgemaak met krulle en jasmyn blommetjies. <\/p>\n
My metgesel was \u2019n aantreklike donkerkop, al uit die skool, met \u2019n puntenerige aandpak en strikdas. Ons het darem \u2019n bietjie gedans. <\/p>\n
Die spyskaart was Griekse geregte \u2013 ek het steeds die kaartjie. <\/p>\n
Ek wil dit nou nie \u2019n droom-aand noem nie, want ons almal was te gespanne, en het meer belanggestel in hoe die ander meisies lyk, en was te benoud om seker te maak ons eet met die regte eetgerei. <\/p>\n
Maar dit was \u2019n regte grootmensaand en vir my \u2019n spesiale geleentheid.<\/p>\n
Ek het die afgelope dae op sosiale media talle pragtige meisies en jong mans gesien met smaakvolle uitrustings wat op die rooi tapyt loop. Dis die meerderheid.<\/p>\n
Maar mensig! Ek lei af dat van hulle maar slegte raad gekry het. Van buuste wat dreigend bons, skoene wat skoon skeef getrap word omdat hulle nie met die steilte kan loop nie, en<\/p>\n
die rokke wat so styf span dat mens verwag dit gaan enige oomblik losskeur, tot wimpers wat soos re\u00ebnve\u00ebrs oor die o\u00eb knipper, en hare wat die meisies onherkenbaar maak. Die ongemak is duidelik. Die skoene waai sommer gou.<\/p>\n
Meeste jongmense word afgelaai in gewone netjiese voertuie. Maar dan is daar weer die uitspattiges wat hulle merk wil maak. Ek sien een meisie het selfs \u201cbewusteloos\u201d met haar goue blinker rok gearriveer op \u2019n drabed -met \u2019n ambulans! Die \u201cparamedici\u201d het haar bygekry met die skokapparaat, en sy het wonderbaarlik verrys met teatrale gebare.<\/p>\n
In KZN waar dit die afgelope tyd kwaai gesneeu het, het \u2019n paartjie op perde en met sambrele in die sneeu gallant aangery gekom\u2026soos in \u2019n sprokie. Daar is selfs motors met die name van die paartjie op die nommerplaat.<\/p>\n
Die spesiale aflewering deur \u2019n koerier met die bloue trokkie, was toe al die tyd \u2019n paartjie wat uit die reuse bokse klim met groot fanfare! Van die paartjies se uitrustings is geko\u00f6rdineerd. Ander lyk weer net reg vir \u2019n troue of die Durban-July!<\/p>\n
Elkeen het sy droom oor hoe di\u00e9 spesiale aand moet verloop, of hoe om dit onvergeetlik te maak. <\/p>\n
Eendag, jare later, by \u2019n re\u00fcnie praat mense weer onder mekaar oor di\u00e9 aand. <\/p>\n
Dan onthou jy die snaakse goed wat gebeur het, die buitengewone, jou maat van die aand en wonder wat van di\u00e9 geword het, hoe jy lank gesukkel het om te besluit op die perfekte rok, en natuurlik ook die gebruiklike after party<\/span>. Dit is voorwaar \u2019n grootmens aand!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Di\u00e9 tyd van die jaar is haarkappers, kleremakers, skoonheidsalonne, fotograwe en bloemiste sommer baie
