1960's Bridesmaid Dress

I'm not "loitering", I'm standing here improving the property value. You're welcome.

"Sign, sign, everywhere a sign..."

I found this dress with a few others at a yard sale in Newton, Mass in the early 90's. This was clearly the best of the lot, and the only one I still have. Gold metallic embroidered polyester dresses aren't for everyone...they're for me. An elderly woman commented on my get-up noting, "You really like gold" and I had to admit it is true. "I'm a magpie, I like to collect shiny things", I told her. I do. I really do.

Let's pause for a David Lynch inspired photo. OK, now let's get back to the clothes!

A shiny dress needs shiny shoes. That blue thing in the background is my dental night guard. I grind my teeth. Now you share something interesting about yourself. Go on.

Shiny. Shiny things.
