There. That title should scare off all who's looking for a serious discussion on metaphores for sexual advances.

I just wanted to share a wonderful experience with those of you who don't really care for seriousness.

I'm going to London on Friday. Today, my friend M came to get a spare key, since she's promised to water my plants, browse the snailmail for Serious Letters From Authorities, and check the Survivor Immunities for me. She took the day off because she didn't feel well, and instead, we took it easy and only did slow things. Walked around in town, bought a plastic pool for her kid, an exploding golfball for her husband, and had lunch at an expensive restaurant.

Before we went home, we decided to stop by a shop that had gorgeous clothes for women. I gathered up a bunch of tops, and went to the fitting room. One top had such a deep cut that I've decided what to write for the Fetish category this year. It looked really hot, but M didn't think Hubby would let me leave the hotel room wearing it.:eek:

Then we found The Top. A light purple one, with shadows and glittering leaves printed on it. It was the top that Fate had sewn for me. It emphasized my curves, making me look hyper-feminine instead of chubby, it brought out the tan in my skin and the blondeness of my hair, and my eyes started shimmering in teal. I fell in love right then and there.

Unfortunately, it costed about 1/6 of my entire rent..! I hesitated. M listed all the pros and cons for me. I didn't know what to do. If I bought it, I'd regret it, because I'd waste so much money - I'd be living on water and bread for a month! If I didn't buy it, I'd regret it, because I have never worn anything that made me look so damned hot !!!

Finally, I decided to buy it. As we stood at the cash register, me with an expression of pain on my face as I picked up the money out of my wallet, M said that she had thought that it was going to be cheaper, since it hung on the "on sale" rack, but apparently there had been some mistake, because she had already asked, and this wasn't on sale...
Then, this wonderful, lovely, kind, good-hearted queen of a woman, the one behind the counter, said that I could get it 50% off.
"Would you like a big hug?" I asked.

M laughed at me for the remains of the day, as I walked a round with my mouth permanently stuck in a happy, shit-faced grin, and tears of happiness in my eyes.

Every now and then, you get lucky.

There. End of message. Now go back to doing something useful.:kiss:
 
super big grin! ON SALE! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO

(wearing my four dollar pants that look like shit but are comfy even though they're always trying to fall off)
 
Yay!!!!!!!!!

Flicka, darling: If I'd been there I would have done the same as your friend. I know this experience.

I was on vacation in Venice one year and I found a mask I "had to have" (real craftsmanship and nothing like the usual touris fare), THEN I received the opportunity to go to Vienna for the opera performance of a lifetime. It was near the end of the month and I simply decided to spend my next month's rent, just living for the moment.

Everything turned out because when I got home I had an unexpected raise at work and a friend paid me back money I hadn't expected, and I did not have to become a homeless person.

Please send me a picture of you and "the" top.

Have the most wonderful time with Hubby and the HP crowd.

Perdita :kiss:

tsk tsk don't be so selfish perdie.

svenskaflicka, post it on lit for us all to see!
 
I'll take tons of photos, and use them for AV's, one by one. Probably, the first one will be Me In The Top, (No, you perverts, not Me ON Top!:mad: ), and by Halloween, there will be a new AV of me dressed up as Harry Potter, every week up until XXX-mas. By then, thanks to Paint Shop Pro, you'll see what Mrs Clause (The second wife, that is!:p), looks like in her new red dress...:devil:
 
Well done

You be careful in London with that new top on dear, they're a strange lot them townies from Londonshire.

Not half as strange as Oxford yokels though.

Have a nice trip and I hope this unseasonal sunny weather we're having holds out for your visit.

...Cletus, the slack-jawed yokel...

Anyone remember where that song is from? And NO, for once, the answer is NOT "Harry Potter".
 
There is nothing, just nothing, like finding the perfect article of clothing. ;-) It is not shallow, trite or fashion-victim behavior to feel good when you are dressed to your best advantage. The ancient art of dress has been unfortunately lost on most of the population for the better part of forty years.

You don't necessarily have to spend three quarters of your income on your duds, but if that perfect article does happen to be expensive, it is still worth it if you can possibly afford to get it. Much better for your system than Prozac!

I'm with Madame M.

You are so right on. "Art of dress", yes! I went to the Museo Fortuny in Venice and it felt as much a museum of art as the Louvre.

I know when I am dressed well (and not per cost or fashion trend) when everyone says, "That is so you."

I like a French phrase, Chic de chic!.
