Stupid Guest Tricks

I haven't, though, because it feels awkward going somewhere just to take pictures, especially if they are pictures of me and I don't have a particular occasion to justify it. Also, I wouldn't want to call attention to myself; I just want pictures of my ballgown in a beautiful place!

Hey Sarah - does that guy in the picture look somewhat familiar? Kind of like a tall skinny guy who works on Main Street? :D:

Well, maybe a little familiar. For our particular friend, the guy in the picture is just too short.

Either that, or that's a really tall woman! However, that guy looks a little older than our friend, too.

HA!!!!

Wow, it's beautiful!

I love such costumes, but I know I'd never look good in them due to my lackage of a couple of things.

Believe me, if I could, I would. It's a pain being this size; it's hard to find clothing that fits, I can't wear many styles of dresses (strapless and spaghetti straps are right out, not to mention crossbacks and halters), and don't even get me started on swimsuits. I can't find undergarments my size in this country; American companies don't even MAKE them. I have to order bras from England, and they aren't cheap. I envy people who can walk into Ross and buy $10 bras that fit!

I'm sure I could build you a Victorian gown you'd look fabulous in. Corsets can do amazing things, and they're a good deal more comfortable than you might think. :)

Thanks! It's an 1880s replica bustle gown that I built a few years ago. (There is a bustle under there. I should get pictures of it, it looks like a lobster tail. I love it.)

I doubt anyone knows the man in the picture; he's a friend of mine from vintage dancing. That's a genuine antique Edwardian (1900s) suit he's wearing, too.

I can see the resemblance. I'd think I could pull that kind of outfit off, people say I look really handsome in my Main Street costume.

I'm looking forward to taking some pictures of you in November in your costume and showing them to the people who were at the Cruise Line party. Knowing how much you wanted to work at Disney, and that you were able to realize your dream, makes me so proud. I know, I'm starting to sound like your mom or something.

I'll email you a picture I have of me in costume. Sound like my mom all you want, she's in Heaven so she can't tell me those things.

I had the same problem a few years ago, I had to special order 44II bras and I had reduction surgery. They took 7 lbs off my chest. I feel so much better now at 40C. Believe me, it helped my posture, my back and got rid of headaches. I am so glad I had that surgery. For me it was hormonal, started menopause and my hormones got all out of whack and I started growing and growing and it was not stopping. I had to get new bras every month. It was weird!

That is a gorgeous dress, by the way. I absolutely love it. I love most everything Victorian. The styles were just beautiful then.

Wow, all the fun of puberty twice!
Yeah, I'm "Gifted" as well, and it is a pain.
Why women get breast augmentation has always been a mystery to me

Very nice picture of you and your dress! :)
