Lovely dress amych!

Wasn't there Julie breast in 10 too? Or am I the only one that remembers that film?

I only saw SOB once--maybe I'll have to give it another try, just for Hec. But I can quote entire passages of V/V. It was the first sex farce movie I ever saw (I was 16 when it was released), and I thought it was one of the funniest movies ever.

Yeah, well, you prefer Old Skool Batman, too. :P

Yeah, but I may be full of bullshit on that issue. Besides I didn't cop to preferring it. Just that my head is stuffed with old propaganda.

Hee. This could dissolve into one of the funniest Buffista wars yet.

Blake Edwards Smackdown! C'mon, S.O.B. has a viking funeral. It's way funnier smarter and darker than the overrated The Player as a Hollywood insider satire.

jon b: I really like your VM theory.

I went to a vintage clothing show years ago in Oakland and saw a gorgeous wedding dress in hot pink. I wish I'd bought it, or at least tried it on.

Oh, and to amuse Heather:

"Victor/Victoria RUUUULZZZ!"

t starts pulling Hec's hair

I love V/V. Julie Andrews and Mom's SCB James Garner. Have not seen the other one, but am not surprised. When I have seen JA on TV being her, she is much funnier and dirtier than most of her work.

I always figured that description was handed on by the bridal shop. You mean you actually had to retro-write it?

Sometimes the bride would supply a description and other times not. Sometimes the bride would supply a description that was clearly wrong, wrong, wrong (e.g. "ebony white"). Then I would be driven to write a description from the picture.

Maria, if this link works it should take you to a shitload of long-sleeved dresses, many really rather gorgeous, on theknot.com (for unknown reasons, but probably just motiveless malice, theknot does have a search function for dresses by sleeve length, but it's a sooper-seekrit-advanced search function that is irritatingly hidden):

Sleevey dresses

eta: But skip page 2 of the dresses, which contains 9 rather cheesy fake-Renaissance gowns that any period costumer could make you a much, much better-looking custom-fit version of for about half the price.

No book yet, msbelle. I'll email you when it gets here. And thanks!

A friend found a dress on clearance that could have been tailor-made for her, personality as well as body type. She was tall and broad-shouldered, curvy, athletic, romantic but no frills and ruffles. The dress was a slightly flared sweep of bengaline, with a slightly draped boat neckline, sleeveless and completely without ornamentation in front. In the back? Backless nearly to the buttcrack, an ass-carressing skirt that fell just past the knee to flare slightly and end in a tiny train. Genius cut for that fabric and fitted her like a bias-cut satin nightgown.
