FNL, & short skirts

[ceebeegee]

I just puttered around the apartment last night, taking care of a bunch of little things like cleaning Tatia's teeth (she was quite the drama grand duchess about it), trying on dresses for the Spotlight On affair this Saturday, watching all the extras on the Friday Night Lights DVD. The commentary was interesting; the director and the author of the original book did the commentary, and they happen to be cousins. They were both quite funny and articulate and very willing to poke fun at themselves. As I'd said before, the story really shuts out the girls' 2nd-class participation in the system--it hardly shows them at all, and the one girl you remember is the girl who boinks the QB at the party and then swans off. Interestingly both commentators would tease each other about how girl-crazy the other was--they both loved the boinker (who did a great job with the two scenes she had, as much as you could with such a crappy role), and they laughed about how the editor kept cutting to the Carter cheerleaders in the final game. Yeah, they're girl-crazy but they give the girls less-than-short-shrift in the movie. It would've been nice if they'd focused less on the short skirts and at least hinted at their actual story.

I also started to watch an old documentary series about Judaism and civilization (another Netflix DVD). Very interesting--I didn't know that Saul was the first Jewish king. Watched some Real World as well--haven't been able to watch much TV because of Midsummer, it's been nice just relaxing this week, although I've been sleeping through the alarm in the morning. Thank goodness my banker is out of the country this week.

So I decided on a darling little black dress for the Spotlight On dinner. It is very short--I modeled it for Doug via webcam and he wrote "holy jesus thats short." It's a tank dress--no cleavage up top, not tight, sleeveless, and a belted A-line skirt. Haven't decided yet what shoes to wear, because I'm still thinking about accessories. As they say, accessories make the woman.

I've been thinking the same thing. No idea what to do about my clothes.

Think I'm going to stick with my lavender dress. The blue Chinese dress might be better for another time. I need to think shoes and possibly a necklace.

I definitely think you should wear shoes. :)

Hey! I sent you an email, Kelly--can I stop by to see your apartment tonight?

*dryly* Thank you, Kelly.

I'm trying to determine what type of shoes are appropriate for the evening. I have two choices and I can't decide. Maybe there's some Steve Maddens at century 21. Go for the really fabulous shoes, you know.

Hee! Yes, shoes are good. Unless you like the tire tread look. Which can be a bold statement.

I myself am thinking about these strappy little rbonze shoes. They're so sexy but I'd have to accessorize to make the shoes go with the dress, and I didn't want to wear bronze-antique gold accesories with this outfit. And I don't really have time to shop for other shoes--I guess maybe I could wear my red patent leather ho shoes. I dunno. I'll have to think about it some more.

See, that's where I am. All I have to accessorize with are my earrings that I specifically bought for the dress. No necklace, no nothing. I also have a pair of low kitten heel silver sandals I could wear, but that puts us back in the "what to accessorize?" box.


I think we may have achieved a new level of girly at this point in the conversation.
