Allyson, purple hair always counts.

Hec, I'm going to have a look over those links in a second.

Steph, here are the dresses: [link] and [link]

I know yahoo can be cranky about URLs, so I hope those work.

In my head I prefer white shoes with both dresses (and have another lime green gogo dress (thanks, meara) I'd wear them with too) despite there being rumours that white shoes are the footwear of the devil.

Tommy, was your suggestion wishful thinking, or advice?

I was already thinking about Vegas on my way to work this morning. So ready to be there.

So ready to be there.

I seriously need to go soon. It's been almost a year.

Man, I wish I were in Vegas. My sister lives there now, and I still haven't met her fiance yet. Also, the woman who was my best friend in high school is there, and I lost contact with her about 10-12 years ago but really want to talk to her again. I only have her brother's work addy (he's a real estate agent), but I was thinking about sending him an e-mail and seeing if he could forward my contact info to his sister and leave it up to her to see if she wants to talk to me or no.

Either.

I mean, I can picture someone wearing stilettos and a mod dress, but I'm not completely confident it'd work....

I've never properly been to Vegas. If I take a short break (no time off coming soon), it's either there or Ojai. So far. Haven't thought much.

I *love* those Paco Rabanne shoes. They take my strappish ballet flat fixation to a new place.

Know what's been stupidly hard to find (I should perhaps be in the kids section, I've been told)? Lacy ankle socks. Even Sock Dreams where I was getting a bunch of other (stocking) stuff didn't have them in stock in white. How rude! Now I need to shop in another location.

Lunch did not make me feel any better. Currently the signals being transmitted to my brain from various parts of my body are failing error checking. Irritation.

Lee! Which Vornado do you have? How much room does it service?

Errr. A black one.

I'll get you the specs tonight, when I have them.

I love it though.

Vegas in September, maybe?

Steph, here are the dresses: [link] and [link].

chatty!mod!co-worker says that white Mary Janes would work with both dresses, and that the first dress (pale green brocade) would also look good with a black chisel-toe shoe: [link] (but it doesn't have to be high-heel if you prefer a flat, he said).

I'll be in Vegas the last few days of September/first few of October for my sister's wedding, so if anyone is there at the same time, I might be free to meet for a meal!

hmmmm
