going vintage

Colleen e-mailed me yesterday to ask what I planned to wear to my support group's banquet tomorrow.

After going back and forth with Patty, my fashion consultant, this week, we decided that I should go vintage.

I have a dress that I bought almost 15 years ago that I have never worn out. The style of the dress invokes Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn in the early 1960s. Why I never wore it out is a story that I will keep to myself, but I am glad that I finally decided to wear it because it is a real knock-out.

When Patty saw it, she thought it won my dress competition hands-down when compared to the other dresses I was considering. Patty suggested my accessories; so I am all set for my big night out and all I have to do now is wait for it.

  2. Awwwww....

    Your taste in clothing, makeup and accessories is impeccable, so when you ask for my opinion of things, I'm just incredibly flattered!

    I can't WAIT to see pictures of you in this dress and hope that many are taken pre-lip sync (you know before you mellow out for your performance).

    I want to see you in your full glam.

    Of course, I also know I get a sneak peek before the event, so I feel highly privileged :)

    When I do "Feminizing For Me" with my clients/patients who request assistance with their femme selves, YOU are the first vision that comes to mind for me and I use you as my femme-equin (can't exactly call it mannequin now can I). Your form and the grace and elegance you bring into femminizing is what I hope to convey to the individuals I work with.

    Here's to wishing you a FAB evening!

    love you

  4. Laurie --- I carefully watch my weight and have been able to stay within + or - 5 pounds of the same weight I got down to after I lost 40 pounds back in 1970. After I lost the 40, I guess I learned my lesson; I never want to have to lose mass quantities again.

  5. p --- Wow - I am not deserving of all your kind words! Thank you so much!

    I stopped getting mellow in order to perform after you last attended the banquet, so I got very nervous and almost bailed out Saturday night, but I gathered up all my courage and people seemed to enjoy my lipsynching.

    Overall, I had a great time despite the disappearing nail incident (I still haven't found it).

    Thank you for all your support!
