...if I win, that is.

dress

I'm the high bidder, but 4 more days to go. I think it's a beautiful dress...elegant, but with a bit of a "va-voom" factor in the back.

Ooooooh, I like it! Hope you get it!

By Conni on Sunday, April 24, 2005 - 07:09 pm:

uhhhh, that is really nice... I hope you win it.

This is going to sound kind of stupid but- I wouldnt even know how to dress on a night out in NYC. lol I would probably have just thrown on a pair of capris and a shirt. * major blushing* I bet my dh thinks I am such a dork. --I didnt wear any dresses like that when we went on our trip afew weeks ago. lol oops...

I learn alot from this board. LOL

By Ginny~moderator on Sunday, April 24, 2005 - 07:35 pm:

Wow - great dress. Hope you get it. And tell me, how do you intend to convince hubby to dress up to it? If you get that dress you definitely need a hotel for showering, etc. before the show.

By Emily7 on Sunday, April 24, 2005 - 07:35 pm:

That is nice...I hope you get it.

By Amecmom on Sunday, April 24, 2005 - 07:44 pm:

JUST the thing for dinner and a show! Have a great time!

Thanks! I'm glad you all approve too. And esp. you, Ame, since you're a New Yorker and have been to the theater a time or two.

Ginny, you must have missed my update. I ended up tacking the NY trip to the beginning of a week long sabbatical we have in Ohio Amish country. So, since we are condensing flights to NY and OH in one trip it costs less, so we are now spending a whole weekend in NY. We get there Friday 11 am and leave after lunch on Sunday. I'm letting DH in on the secret the night before since we have to get the kids situated. As far as DH dressing up goes, he actually likes to get dressed up and go out on occasion. I'll probably get him a new dress shirt (he REALLY needs a few and Lands' End now has "no wrinkle" ones) and a tie too.

It's beautiful! I hope you get it! For future reference it's always best to bid at the last minute so that others don't think there is someone else out there interested in the item! Lull them into a false sense of security!

By Jelygu on Sunday, April 24, 2005 - 09:56 pm:

Good luck! It is a beautiful dress

By Jann on Sunday, April 24, 2005 - 10:21 pm:

It's absolutely perfect! Now you have to get some wonderful high strappy black sandals to go with it.

By Kym on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 12:25 am:

Fabuloso! I'd get the hair too! Cute Cute Cute

Can't wait for the travel report

By Feona on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 06:56 am:

Being a New Yorker... you don't have to dress up for the theater....

Just a nice top and pants. Some people dress up and some don't. Love the dress though... Looks like it is getting bid up though.....

We got invited to Riverdance. I wasn't feeling well so I just wore any old top and pants..

I use snip service. else people just bid on things to take them away from you.

By Feona on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 06:57 am:

This is the one I use. I think it is the cheapest snip service.

By Jann on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 08:29 am:

Maybe it's because I am a tourist, but I always dressed for the theater when I am in NY. I always dress for it here too. But, I love dressing up.

By Pamt on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 08:47 am:

Jann, LOL, we think alike. I always get dressed up any chance I get. I know (unfortunately) that the glory days of Broadway, when dressing up was absolutely necessary, are gone. However, it IS still a place where you CAN get dressed up and not feel out of place. We even get dressed up to go to the Broadway touring shows in Baton Rouge and New Orleans. As for "high strappy black sandals"--not too sure about that. I'm already 5'9", plus we'll probably walk to the theater since our hotel is in the hteater district, but I'm sure it will still be several blocks. Not sure I'll be able to walk too far in *really* sexy shoes.

By Amecmom on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 08:53 am:

NOT a tourist, but always dressed nicely for the theatre! It's perfect!
Ame

By Jann on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 09:01 am:

Heck, I remember wearing LONG dresses to the theater!
OK, so not high, a sexy kitten heel slide then.

By Conni on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 09:45 am:

We dress up for the theatre here too. But its just nice slacks and a sweater or nice shirt. I do see some women in furs there. lol No thanks!

Dh's work use to have a semi formal banquet every yr. There were women there in FORMAL gowns (that looked like prom dresses to me) and I always wore a nice little black dress / dh a nice suit. I hated that banquet!! LOL They have since changed it to an outdoor concert/picnic-- I LOVE it now. We can take the kids -- they do bouncey houses and obstacle courses, arts n crafts, etc for the kids. And I get to wear my blue jeans. No more wasting money on getting my hair done up and dresses I only wore once-- of course I always had to buy new shoes to match the dress and jewelry every yr. It really bugged me to have to blow all that money for one night! LOL Now they are all hanging in the closet collecting dust. I should take them to the re-sale shop.

By Happynerdmom on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 10:18 am:

It's a beautiful dress, Pam! I, too, love any occasion to get dressed up. You will have a great time in NYC, and you'll look HOT! (Which, of course, is the most important thing, LOL!)

By Kernkate on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 10:42 am:

Thats a beautiful dress. Hope you win it

By Karen~moderator on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 03:34 pm:

VERY pretty dress, Pam!

By Kay on Monday, April 25, 2005 - 04:17 pm:

I love it! I think the idea of having a dress-up date sounds wonderful!

By Rayanne on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 - 10:44 am:

I love it!!!
You will look fabulous in it

By Bobbie~moderatr on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 - 11:23 pm:

Great dress. Confesion... other than my wedding day I have never (NEVER) dressed up fancy for anything. I hope you have a great time.. And enjoy Ohio. Right now it is raining and chilly. YUCKY!!

By Jann on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 - 08:14 am:

Really? Weddings? nothing?

By Bobbie~moderatr on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 - 11:25 pm:

Nope... Nothing. I have only been to Four weddings (my mom's, my own, and both my sisters) The dress for all was semi casual. So, I wore sun dresses and sandals. Pretty but not my idea of dressed up, I wear those same dresses to church now. I didn't go to my Junior or Senior proms either. Never been anywhere I needed to dress up... Never worn a dress that I bought to only wear once(other than my wedding dress, which my sister also wore and DD plans to wear).. Feel bad for me??? LOL

By Bea on Thursday, April 28, 2005 - 12:24 am:

I dress for the theater here but not in NY. Here I drive and there I walk. I want comfort when I'm walking.
