There’s this red dress. I bought it a year ago for BlogHer in New York. It worked well when I tried it on and held my breath and posed just right.
In practice, it was a little difficult to negotiate after several free drinks. I didn’t care, I was with my beesh . . . look at our smiles.
I was shimmied into it when it didn’t really fit in January. I didn’t care. I was with my girls.
Mishi thought I was pretty and took pretty pictures of me in my red dress.
Now I feel awkward with my pretty pictures. I’ve yanked this picture out of this post at least twice. I almost deleted the whole post out of teh awkward.
But I was thinking of my dress . . . it should fit better now . . . I have no place to wear it and throw my arms around my friends to smile big for the camera and not realize or care about the multiple wardrobe malfunctions.
Tonight anyway.
I have plans. Fun and friends and a hot little red dress.
I’m gonna need some great shoes.

(What Jenny said, too, but hey, proximity is 9/10 of the law. Or something.)

Yes, yes, what they all said and more.
One day, more than a breathless recounting of a life changing moment, instead hours spent meandering and dreaming, wondering and laughing at what has been, what won’t be and the richness of a life lived loving ourselves.
I admire your courage and candor every day,

Awesome, hottie! Sometimes it is worth knowing that you have a hot little dress waiting in the wings for the time when the next season of life rolls around and you have the perfect occasion to wear it again.

You are beautiful and that dress is HAWT! You can wear it to visit me in TX. I’d be totally game for that.
Miss you!

Fact: I have a black, strapless, 50’s cocktail dress, complete with a tulle layer underneath and absoeffinglutely nowhere to where it. So I wear it to Starbucks with some killer heels.
It still makes me feel fabulous, even at 9am, with only a $6 cup of coffee to entertain. Bonus points for fantastical underwears.

woah! If I looked like that in that last photo, I’d wear that dress every few weeks in public.
not only is CPG’s twitter avatar an egg, they use CAPS LOCK. maybe it’s to lend to the naivety of it all?!
