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.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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):
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Gorgeous dress, Amych.
Hey Kat and Lori, can I take you to breakfast this weekend for your anniversary? We can go somewhere that uses paper napkins.

HA! Paper napkins!
I'd love to Lee, except our first anniversary? Spent apart. Lori is going with the class she's teaching to Joshua Tree and I have to go to Santa Clara for a conference where I'm presenting. Then I'm going out to J-tree to join her. I think.
Maybe we can do dinner next week?

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
Ooh, pretty dresses, weddings, Veronica Mars, and Julie Andrews. Some of my very favorite things.
I also like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. FYI.

Hee! I'm going to start describing my clothes with that.
