1980
This new old timey event at The Hammer Musuem on Tuesday, November 10 looks like it will be tremendouns fun. If I go, I just know I won't be able to stop thinking about Grandpa Simpson and Steamboat Willie. Look for me -- I'll be the one giggling sporadically to herself in the middle-to-back section of the autditorium.

For better or for worse...
I spent my lunch hour today getting to and from Hollywood & Highland to pick up some finishing-touch accessories from both Claire's *and * Hot Topic. Good lord, do t(w)eens actually shop in those places un-ironically? If I never have to see a fake-jewel encrusted skull and crossbones again, it still might be too soon. But I got in and out of those hideous, sensory-overload dens of tweeniquity quickly, knowing exactly what I was after. I had to do it, because a strict dress code is being enforced.
For my own look, I've resurrected one of my old May Ball gowns from the late-90s. This one's a beaut, the Jessica McClintock dress I wore to the '98 St. John's Ball that had a Masquerade in Venice-type theme. As of this Saturday, it still had the grime from the festivities on it, plus the tear in the top layer where I'd put my heel through the dress. Luckily, though, at a high-end enough May Ball (e.g., Trinity, St. John's, Kings, Magdalene), there is a seamstress on-duty (!), and this one whip stitched the tear I clumsily made quite early on just beautifully to get me through the evening. Over this past weekend, I took the dress to the kind, elderly Korean couple who run the Hollymont Cleaners in Los Feliz to have the repairs done and the frock laundered. When I said I'd need it back by Tuesday (!), she kind of gulped and then -- only because I have a standing rel. w/ her -- circled the little "T" on the ticket and said I should come sometime before 7PM. (Thank you!!)
(Thanks to Jasmine for this meme. I've been meaning to try it out for a couple of weeks.)
