I’ve been searching for a dress to wear to this summer and fall’s weddings. There was one I really wanted from Anthropologie, but it sold out before I got around to ordering it. I find black so boring, and it seems like all the other beautiful dresses this season are white, which is obviously inappropriate for a wedding.

This Anna Sui dress is, at the moment, going for less than $100. It would retail for over $500. It’s a size or two bigger than I usually wear, but I contacted the seller for the measurements and from what she describes, I bet it would fit me. Maybe Anna Sui runs small or something. It’s so pretty, and it’s not black or white. It’s my fantasy that, while wearing it, I would look like Reese Witherspoon at the Golden Globes.

I’m trying to decide whether I should bid on it or not. Hrm. Maybe I will, but I’ll quit if it goes over $100.

Update: I got the dress for under a c-note, even including shipping.  Now we just wait and see if it fits.

Check out my beautiful, famous mom!

Be sure to check out the photo gallery (link is right under the photo in that article). I do not yet have confirmation on this, but I suspect my dad took the pictures because they’re a) good, and b) uncredited.

I’ll be shaking my booty at my mom’s recital on Saturday, June 3, as part of the special “All alumni are invited on stage to dance at the end” 25th anniversary celebration.

I’m not making any promises here, but if you come, you stand a reasonable chance of seeing the mythical Beth Clarke Boob Shake. It’s named after her because she invented it, not because she’s necessarily going to do it.

But she might.
