Pixie Dust [afternoon sorority meeting]

[rilla_myrilla]

The girls had been handwavily notified to meet at Pixie Dust (with a handy map attachment included for anyone who might be too new to know where it was) for today's meeting. Because it would be bad to have a meeting and forget to tell people where

Arrive and Mingle [2/9]

As you do!

Dorothy, her hand bandaged from yesterday's incident, couldn't help but marvel at all the fashion on display in the store.

She looked down at her own turn of the century dress and suddenly felt quite plain. She shook off the feeling quickly, however, and went back to marveling at the various dresses. She was almost feeling overwhelmed by it all.

And some of the dresses looked awfully short.

"Hello, Miss Gale," Rilla said merrily. "Are you going to the dance?"

"Well, I haven't been asked," Dorothy said. "But I thought about still attending, just to see what it was like. I've never been to a school dance before. It sure sounds interesting."

Try on Dresses

Or hats, or coats, or shoes...

Rebecca basically had the perfect icon for this tried on a few dresses, keeping her disparaging comments about the fabric quality to a minimum, before finding one that she was especially fond of.

So. Strutting for the mirror, then. Because she was productive.

Anna grabbed the first pair of shoes she came across in her size, a pair of plain black flats, and tentatively slipped them on. The fit seemed okay, and she was definitely feeling the shoes, not the floor, under her feet. She wiggled her toes, and she could see the fabric move instead of her toes poking through it. They felt strange, after nearly sixty years without shoes, but she was sure she'd get used to it.

She took a few tentative steps without any disaster, and then walked around the store with them on until she stopped thinking about them so much. When she stopped and looked down, they were still on. "Okay," she said, relieved, and again to no one in particular. She'd spent a lot of time alone, okay? "Okay, I think this is going to work...except these are boring." So she took them off, went back to the shoe display to put them back on the shelf, and started looking for something more to her taste.

She found, in the clearance section and marked with prices even her 1958 sensibilities could stomach, not one but three

"That depends," Rebecca said, surveying the options. "Are you going for vintage as a look, or are you actually from a time when that would've been the style?"

Talk to the Organizers!

If you can distract them from the pretty dresses!

Annie was totally loving looking at the dresses, though she knew she'd have to stick to the sale racks. Also she was maybe looking aghast at some of the dresses she was pretty sure only streetwalkers wore.

Talk to the Advisor!

[rilla_myrilla]

Morrigan would love to give feedback about whether that dress makes your butt look big.

Really.

Re: Talk to the Advisor!

Really, Morrigan was FAR more likely to start setting things with glitter or sequins on fire, but she would attempt to be supportive should any of the girls care what she thought.

After all, she wore leather and a top that defies physics her wrap every day. Worked well enough for her, and the girls were old enough to decide how much skin they felt comfortable showing.

OOC

Whee, fake dress shopping!
