206 Bishop Thorton & Reverend Erika, Hearts and Hands Event, St. Barnabas on the Desert, f 5.0, 1/60 ISO 800, Filter-Lighting Effects, 2-26-10 1/2*"What are you wearing"? It's been the same question posed by everyone for the past two weeks. And it's always said one of two ways, either with dread or with too much excitement giving away the fact that the questioning attendee already had her dress. :)
The event is Hearts and Hands, a fundraising opportunity that raises monies for our outreach programs through our church. 'Our group' has taken on the notion that it is totally a formal (evening gown) event but in reality it's just a dressed up evening. For instance, a lot of attendees wore knee length black dresses, some had beautiful tailored beaded short dress suits too...But, a few of us went full out as we do every year. And every year I seem to say the same thing the day after..."Ugh, what was I thinking"!
Not that I didn't like or rather love the borrowed dress I wore, but it's a case of being appropriate? I do believe I'm earning a reputation as the one who shows "the girls". Tonight was nooooo different. Thankfully, I had a friend borrow one of my dresses thereby assuring her the same coveted title of, clear your throat, look away..."Nice Rack". :) Didn't I just blog a couple of days ago to be proud to be different and celebrate your individual style? Must remember this and forget that even though the choice of dress was beautiful at beginning of evening, after dancing and a little stretching of fabric, I was a "just barely covered" church going, God fearing woman. :~p Next year, I promise...
