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.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

It doesn't take much makeup to make me pale. Even in the summer I am paler than pale.
Well on your way to full goth!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The onesie is perfect!
Yay! The one in my head looks many times better, but still, the one that exists in the real world doesn't totally suck.
Casa Zmayhem contains much talent.

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.

Makeup: Pale. Don't forget to blend in under your chin or you'll look like a mime.
I always forget to tell people that, because it never occurs to me that someone might not know to do that.
The linen dress would probably require more altering than I can do by myself to work.

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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So consensus of one says purple skirt suit? Will the white suit work if the purple looks too tight or I can't get the stain out?

Plei, the offer for you to raid my closet(s) is still open.

Yes. I think the purple suit would be the best option, but the white suit sounds like it would be fine.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I keep forgetting what I was going to say. I do that in real life, but you'd think I could concentrate better while typing at blinvisible people. At least you don't get to hear me saying, "Um, um, you know, that thing we were talking about."
ChiKat, the odds are very, very high that it's something harmless. They do baseline mammograms specifically to record the various idiosyncrasies that everyone's breasts have. That being said, my breast cancer experience would suggest that if the doctor has the least doubt, get a biopsy. Biopsies are no big deal. Mine was not particularly painful, except for the hysterical giggles I kept getting over the fact that I was driving home with ice in my bra.
Lyra Jane, I'm so sorry about the car. Try not to beat yourself up about it.
Of course Kara leads an amazingly exciting life. After all, she hears hot dogs.
