I don’t know how I feel about the closure of all of the bridges into DC, although others have some very strong opinions. Even if they were open, I certainly wouldn’t try to drive into town – where do you go once you get over the bridge? I just wish Metro was better run and more reliable because that would certainly make things easier. I’m watching these plans for express bus routes, but am dubious that they’ll run enough buses to keep it from becoming a chaotic nightmare. The only thing better than riding the bus in a ballgown is riding a crowded bus in a ballgown.
There are lots of parties to attend and damnit, I’ve procured some of the cutest dresses evah. Wait til Dr. Birdcage sees the navy blue number I’ve procured for her – it has sparkly glitter all over it. Dr. Birdcage doesn’t know I’ve procured a dress for her, but that’s not the point.
I think this is a plot by the Secret Service to force us to sit at home eating microwave popcorn and drinking girlie cocktails. Actually, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea….
Well I’m glad SOMEBODY procured me a ball gown. :) And navy blue is good. Also, it means that I will not be in the situation my dear friend Miss A was in when she was told by her mother (who lives in Vegas) not to worry about getting a dress for her sister’s South American wedding and arrived in that South American capital to discover that her mother had procured her a skin tight, one shoulder gown in swirling colors that looked very much like rainbow sherbet with sparkles in it. She came back and told me that she had been forced to attend her sister’s wedding as J-Lo. And from the pictures, she did. And being her, she pulled it off. I, however, would have simply looked ridiculous. So navy blue sounds *awesome*.
