Cherries Jubilee!!!

Ms Superstar!

You shouldn't have!
You sweet sweet girl!

... as promised in the comments section of my blog entryabout the sad state of affairs my evening wear is in, Superstar sent me, via the prompt and trustworthy postal service a set of soft and comfy new pyjamas.

They have cherries, birds and pies on them, they adhere to the buttockial area in just the right way, and they fit Cuddles PERFECTLY.



















What? What's that you say Ms. S? These were not, in fact supposed to be for Cuddles? They were supposed to be for ME?!?

In that case, I need to ask - with your artistic eye and keen judge of good tight clothes, how did I end up as a 6'3" 210lb man? I might not be waify, or even "skinny", but please Ms. Shen, tell me you didn't think I was THAT big!

P.S., they did "work" with respect to evening wear, so fret not Little Miss S, I found them Very Sexy!... Very Sexy Indeed...

Two Totally Different Dresses

Yes, I know I have a problem with my indecisivenss - or is it's my constant shopping excursions that makes this particularly difficult. These are the finals. Two totally different dresses (like the title of this post says) Each one has it's good and bad attributes, I love them both, making it very difficult to decide which to wear. Perhaps you do need some background info to help me choose and to make and informed decision.

The Party: Saturday night, cocktails and hor d'ouevres, dress code on the invite was stated as 'casually elegant' - but it's MY party so the rules don't really apply.

The shoes: they are "fierce" to quote someone when viewing them. Gold heels with swarovski crystals! Once I found the shoes I HAD to find a dress to match.

The dresses: Recent feedback from friends has been all over the board
The red one:
"elegant, 40's glamour"
" beautiful, sexy, a showstopper"
"a cheap drag queen's outfit"

The Multi color one:
"OMG beautiful"
"classy"
"gorgeous and flattering"
"what, did you take Joseph's multi color dream coat and make a dress out of it?"

I like them both. The multi color one is a nicer dress (and shows off the shoes) the red one is just fun and different and shows off the cleavage. HELP!!!!

Somebody Stop Me!

Well, it started a couple of years ago, while shopping with Ms Shenanigan in TO. We innocently went into a cheap shoe store and I found the shoes of my dreams. I really fell in love with these little numbers and I wore them good and solid (but never in the snow!) for a couple years. I got hooked on the no-heel round-toe craze. Just my style and very comfy. Oh boy, did I fall for them bigtime. Here are the first of the them... (*click on pics to zoom in for larger view of my cut-up biking to work legs)

They are:
THE ORIGINALS

You can kinda tell that wear and tear have stretched them out a bit and I can't wear them with a skirt anymore, I can only wear them with pants (to cover the fact that they are ruined.
Then came...



THE REPLACEMENTS

OOTG's comment was "you've had cuter shoes". True, they were no originals, but lightening doesn't strike twice ladies, and I needed summer shoes that were not falling apart.




I waited and waited for these next shoes to go on sale, and on sale they did go. I added them to my collection of flat-and-rounds and got many compliments on them. They are...


THE SPARKLERS (they have sequens on them) - *with added side view!




I know what you're thinking : just because they're cheap doesn't mean you need 3 pairs! Trust me - I KNOW. I JUST CAN'T HELP MYSELF.





And finally... I went searching for fall shoes. I wanted higher shoes, cute boot-things that I could put warmer socks in if need be. Oh I searched and searched. Well, I think you know where this is going. I present to you the latest addition to the collection. A warm welcome to...

THE CAMO: *with side view




I think I like these best, I gotta be honest. Well, not better than the Originals (I mean, they're the originals!) Cuddles likes these best so the purchase is justified.



AM I DOOMED?

Editor's note : It took me WAY too long to compose this blog.
I was going to upload an outfit too, but I think I'll just let you guys enjui this entry for a while first.

Back to the Beginning

okay - here we go again. On the hunt for the perfect dress.
Here is option #1 A little discoey number.
Can't decide if the draping front gives me that "hiding something" look. The dress is fun. Does it look good is the question. Does my booty give it the "JLO" look or the "Jello" look?

The Outdoors Hat

I've given up my beat up, sun bleached baseball hat in favor of this new, Gortex covering. Wider brimmed for sun, waterproof for rain. Whatdoyathink?
