I bought a dress. Strapless formal, in espresso colored satin, boned with zipper back. It actually looks good on me, and it fits almost perfectly. (sliiiightly loose in the bust, but not enough to warrant a fitting.)
This after hours of discouraging plodding around kelowna looking for something to wear to the staff (formal) christmas dinner party (at the Grand Ballroom). I'm vaguely shaped like a potato, so if it's not involving a bodice, which few commercial dresses not counting the ones in prom and bridal shops are, I look like a potato in expensive fabric.
I wouldn't normally blog about this, but you know me and formal. I skipped prom because of the hassle, and if I had gone, I was considering a tux with tails instead of a dress. It's so retarded. Clara, Carmen and I are getting appointments for next friday to get our hair and makeup did, and I'm very much considering a pedicure... for y'know. Wearing sandals or something. Closed toe makes Jesso weep. And I like Toepolish.
on the other side of things, I'm playing Not-Warhammer with the company's VP today at lunch. And I forgot to bring my dice. :/
geek in a dress,
