Wait, Plei, the chocolate and other things actually arrived? That's mindbogglingly fast. Did you, um, did you like the non-chocolate stuff?
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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

Hair: you can do twisty little Bjork-buns like Jilli does with chopsticks in them. (I'll find a picture.)
That's what you think. I am awful at doing anything with my hair.
Makeup: Pale. Don't forget to blend in under your chin or you'll look like a mime.
It doesn't take much makeup to make me pale. Even in the summer I am paler than pale.

The onesie is perfect! Casa Zmayhem contains much talent.
The linen dress would probably require more altering than I can do by myself to work.
If I can find a top that will work, I may be able to fake it if the skirt I wore to the last wedding I attended still fits me... (I was almost 11 weeks when I last wore it, so it might.)
Haven't these jackholes heard of basic black? Hello, people, no matter what you think, fugly patterns do not really hide the spit up.
Hmm. In about 10 minutes, I shall have to give up on UPS and go shower without my Lush order. Curses. Foiled again.

Plei, do you sew? elizabethlee.com has some very simple dresses to sew. (Some very horrible pictures of some very simple dresses.) And that way you'd get to pick your fabric.

Yay! The one in my head looks many times better, but still, the one that exists in the real world doesn't totally suck.

I have my plane ticket to Boston - arriving 8:30 Thursday the 4th, leaving 11:30 Tuesday the 9th. I am available anytime that's not Saturday for lunches, dinners, house and apartment-warmings, Jen-coddling, Toto-walking, cat-petting, helping Somervillains cram for tests, or just about exactly whatever.

Talking to Kara on the phone is the next best thing to talking to her mommy. She always says the cutest things.

you may have to settle for a shirt and skirt. Nursing dresses are harder to find.
Oh, I'm looking at both. I'd prefer a dress, as I don't fit most of my dressy skirts (though there's still the one mentioned in the previous post that may work), but a dressy shirt + skirt is most certainly an option I've given a lot of thought to. And I know I'm being neurotic about this, for complicated and petty reasons involving some of the other wedding guests and my own personal demons.
sj, loose, flowing hair can also work, especially if the black clothing you're wearing is flowing and romantic.

I always forget to tell people that, because it never occurs to me that someone might not know to do that.

So you come over, we dig out the sewing machine, and go to town. No problem.
