Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't know what I'm wearing yet, but I am leaning heavily toward this. Need to have it taken in, though.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

No clue what I'm wearing. I expect to be categorically sartorially outshone by every other female in attendance, which is fine, because I'm likely to be both too busy and too wiped to care.

Probably black, whatever it is. I own a lot of black.

piffle. I may wear the Max studio dress that I got from you. it's a good dress for me.

See? That Max Studio dress is hotter than sin on you. Me, it just sat on.

Eh. I'll figure something out. Maybe I'll just pretend it's fancy dress and wear a full chef's costume.

Bull. Shit.

I've met you, Deb. You couldn't be less than head-turning if you tried, even totally knackered and dressed in a sack - you would have people muttering speculatively about where said sack had been bought and which catwalk they'd seen it on.

Toga. Or actually, chiton.

Maybe in black.

Like deb, I own a lot of black. I have a wedding to attend in Moldova in July, and nothing formal and also non-black. Sigh.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

::mention of Moldova has "Dragostea Din Tei" going through her head::

Oooh! Chiton!

Har, no chance Deb, because this is me, not you! (Well, you'll likely be busy and wiped, abut you'll look fab.)

blink That honestly wasn't a whimper for reassurance - it's just that this is a working party for me, the main result being, well, a sensational party for the sixty or so people. If this was something like Nic's company party, where I had to do the whole "woman on arm, look good" deal, I'd get into old rocker girlfriend headspace and spend serious time on it. But's organising-mode (not to mention caterer-mode) is all the way different. Takes a different form of concentration.

So I'll dress suitably for the party, but there won't be any effort on the "oh, wow" effect. And honestly, Fay, you met me three years ago. Between midlife and MS, gravity and my jawline have got into a serious deathmatch. Gravity is winning.

And the Max Studio dress really did just sit there on me. The way it drapes, it's made for cleavage. Ridiculous as it is to have double-D cups and no cleavage in sight, well, there you go. Mme. Vortex, OTOH? She and that dress are a match made in sempstress heaven.
