commitment phobic?

If I bought a single dress (size 36 in brown, please) that costs well over half a grand (yet still less than three-quarters, pre-tax!), but could only wear it 16 days a year, would the cost be more worth it if I made the commitment that forced me to wear it 34 times a year instead?

I've considered auditioning for cast of Scarby several times, told myself I would do it at least twice, but life has a way of conspiring against me. What with enjoying my weekend time to clean, bake, recharge in general, you know, live life, it makes it hard to commit to the 2.5 hour drive (one-way) every single weekend for 4 months (1/3 of every year).

Heck, even the 2 months of a hard-core playtron is a hard sell for me. Last year I was heavily gravid when faire come around. This year I (obviously) have a yearling to fend for. What will happen next year? Puppies? Kittens? Gardens?

Then again, even if I only visit 3 times a year (opening, with Momby, and closing), it would be fabulous to have a full costume and character development. But... this outfit so won't work for Ursula (who has never been yet)... would it? Hmmm... maybe it would at that. Or I suppose I could try to recreate it in linen. *sniff*
