My first meara in a very long time. ::sniff::
And people -- we need to DANCE this year! Hardly anyone danced last year, which was a damn shame.
I am a dancing fool. If I like the music, I can't *not* dance. I will be shaking my booty, by myself if I have to.
"Everyone is all excited to see everyone else EXCEPT me! Nobody is going to want to spend time with ME! Everyone else is going to be all fabulous and glam and sparkly and outrageous and I'm just going to sit in the corner eating self-pity corn fritters."]
Note to self: approach teppy with quiet enthusiasm. and something to wash down the fritters.
"All The Things She Said" for dance music.
cooler in Russian. I have it and will try to bring it.
ya sa shla su uma…
In fact, will try and put together a bunch of songs on a cd and bring them.
It's gonna get awfully lonely out in the middle of the room with everyone lurking off in corners...
More room to dance!!! (I have a bad habit of dancing with my eyes closed. I've hit people before. My first GF accused me of dancing like a boxer.)
Umm. To provide a counterpoint to all the black, I'm reasonably sure that (one of) my Prom outfits will be a floorlength vintage empire-waisted white formal dress with peacock-hued big ol paisley print.
Yeah.
And my clothes are just....clothes.
They'll go perfectly with mine. I just don't have anything fancy to go to normally. I pretty much wear jeans or sweat pants all but about three days a month, and, with one thing and another, my weight has been all over the map for the last couple of years. I'm just going to have to get by on my winning smile and unusual eyes.
Yes, Katerina, perhaps I should just lean on people's being so dazzled by The Garnets that they won't notice anything else I'm wearing. We never have figured out why my great-aunt Lucille owned anything so extravagant.
In that case, you could always go with just The Garnets.
Yup, my fashion style says that basic black + garnets = well dressed. Hearing about your garnets made me all wistful about not attending the F2F. You'll have to make sure that a picture of The Garnets gets posted for me.
A swanky dinner sounds quite good.
You did not dance because you did not have ME!
Also, I would wear my wedding gown. Except that it's a kimono. And while it is beautiful, it would be very very difficult to dance in. Or to walk. Or to move. Or to breathe.
And oh, yeah, that whole thing where I'm not going.
I think Aimee was responding to the trend of dressing-down that female-types have displayed in their descriptions of what they plan to wear.
Hey! My leather is not "dressing-down", damnit; it's soft supple pricey leather.
And I wore black ankle length Ralph Lauren last year. This year, I think it's trousers.
Someday, I want to buy better leather pants, with a button and everything.
(Edited because my leather pants are real, not imaginary, just cheap, and with no button)
