No, that gal in the ponytail is not me. But I did draw her myself. She's an original. November 4, 1998 was my 40th birthday so for fun I made this silly little Pin the Ponytail on the Party Girl game just for you. Enjoy!

The file is in PDF format. The first page is instructions only (same as below). Page 2 contains the poster and an outline of where the ponytail goes. Page 3 contains 6 numbered ponytails.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Save partygirl.pdf to your harddrive.

  • Open PDF file with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

  • Print pages 2 and 3 on your color printer.

  • Cut out the ponytails on page 3.

  • Use tape or pins and the general rules of play for the more familiar "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" birthday party game. Or, make up your own rules.

  • Does the party girl look like the birthday girl or someone else at the party? Or does she resemble a favorite (or not so favorite) teacher? Give her a name and let your partygoers go wild. It's just a game, have fun.

HOW I DID IT:
For those who want to know these things, here's how this file was created:

  • Images drawn using the Freehand and Shape tools in CorelDRAW 7.

  • Images exported as EPS.

  • Images placed (imported) into PageMaker 6.5.

  • Text added.

  • File exported (distilled) as an Acrobat PDF file.
