How much do I love this dress? And how much can I not afford it? But issues of debt aside, this is exactly the sort of funky, over-the-top outfit I envision myself wearing for my 30th birthday!

Get ready for poll number three! ( An In Depth Look At Candy )

Okay, I'll play. I'm nothing if not a passenger aboard the proverbial bandwagon. Plus, I'll take any excuse to create a poll ( Read more... )
