So I was commenting on Taylor's frustration on fb over not being able to afford the dress she wants for sophomore prom. Mentioned I'd recently unearthed my senior prom dress, which had been buried all this time. WHICH IS OLDER THAN HER.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

Tomorrow's onerous task will be taxes. Of course, I am doing it because I promised myself a shopping treat if my refund is $500 or more.
I got 82% on the facial recognition test. I found it easy until I started second guessing myself.

Because books.
I got 100% on the face recognition thing! I'm a little freaked out by that.

This is exactly what crossed my mind.
I love the romance of using a garment that someone else loved. This is not to say that I liked the final product, but the idea of this dress is beautiful.

Oh no. Twas all good. About finding someone to talk to and being whole.

Well, it was 1993. Wine/burgundy velvet, empire waist, scoop neck, swoopy bell sleeves starting at the elbows... Made by mom, who swore she'd never sew velvet again. I still like it, but it isn't appropriate for anything. Though it fits.
NSM PiP as, hello, early 90s! Pretty sure T wouldn't be interested... She's more sparkles, whereas I was pseudo-gothy.

Yeah, pretty much. And prom-themed bar nights. Which I don't really do.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I sort of regret my prom dress. It was BRIGHT red, laced up the back, with an asymmetrical hem that exposed the tulle underneath. In retrospect, I wish I'd gone vintage, but I didn't know any better at the time.
