Ode to a Choir Dress

That's right...I have THAT much to say about my choir dress so I'm devoting an entire blog to it!!





Is it some kind of requirement that ALL choir dresses be hideous and unflattering? I received my choir dress today and let me just tell you.. Whistler's Mother's got nothin' on me! This dress is quite possibly the ugliest piece of clothing I've ever owned. And that's sayin' a lot! It's black....and boxy....and Frilly at the top....it even has little shoulder pads!.... It's too tight in the chest (go figure) and it's complete with A satin cord that makes it an empire waistline... It cuts RIGHT UNDER MY BOOBS! After fighting with it and FINALLY getting it zipped I ease myself towards the mirror too survey the damage. Hmm... no TOO bad. But now I'm all locked into this dress and I'm not sure if or when the contents under pressure are going to explode.



I was talking to C and I told him that my dress was ugly and he said "Oh. it's not that bad"

My response? "Thats what Ray Charles said"



Easy for you to say, C...You get to wear a tux and listen to people tell you how handsome you are. Us women got the shaft!



But there is a bright side to this whole thing.. It's open in the shoulders in the back so when I turn around you can see my tattoo!



And now... The moment you've all been waiting for



It's black



I'ts unflattering



It's TOO SMALL



MY DRESS!!









It's enough to make grown men weep, that's what it is! The thought of vomiting on it crossed my mind when i saw it...but that may only improve matters.

Though...As I discovered recently...music is pretty much my life and I'm pretty sure i couldn't live without it. I'll do almost anything to be able to perform and sing.... Even wear a hideous dress!!

Done being mean now

Ciao ciao!
