Well, my landlord is awesome.
She cleaned out their storage unit, which sits outside of my house.
She looked at me, and said, "Take what you like."
So, I waited for her to leave, and I rummaged through the pile of stuff.
I couldn't believe what I found!
A Wedding dress, Heels that are just my size, a corset, garter straps, a gold and amethyst ring, and a pair of wedding slippers!
The only thing the dress was missing was the veil.
I'm debating whether or not I should post pictures, but I feel incredibly lucky!
"Move along people, there's nothing to see here."
That is awesome. Does your landlord know about this side of you?
If so, this story instantly got much cooler.
Jess is right. Your story is totally awesome!! And yes, you do need to post pictures!!

Lady on the outside, but man underneath!
If the landlord knows what was in there, and looks in after it is taken, he just might get an idea....lol
And yes, pictures are mandatory.

I may never get to fly like the other girls, but I do so want to dance, so I continue to climb.
Congratulations!
A few years ago someone was moving out of a house that I was looking at. They had left a bunch of odds and ends and in an old dresser were two very expensive slips in my size. I was sure that they intended to discard them, but I could not take the risk of "saving them" and having it noticed. I've grieved for years.
One persons junk is another ones TREASURE.
I had to leave a wedding dress on a pile of new clothing I saw in New York.
The wife said "Leave it"
Better to be tactful sometimes. Damn.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Loretta, that is so cool! I can tell you had the time of your life finding stuff.

"Hello, Loretta! Yes, fine, thank you! Get this? I was sitting at the next table to these three old bitties, and I think you should hear the gossip going around about you, and this incredible find of yours?
"Oh! That's OK, we're friends, you don't have to thank me, that's what friends are for! Just post the pics, and show them up, once and for all! Yes! Yes, I will! You, too! Ok! Bye!"

That's a strange thing to find in an outside storage unit especially if she does not have any bad vibs from it. And, if she has a key to your apartment, she can check on you. Maybe, she has another motive to letting you have the dress. Is there are cougar on the loose in your neighborhood?
Forget all the bad vibes... the dress makes a great halloween costume or you can even stuff it to make a scary zombie bride. There's no motive and if the previous own was going to toss it, they will only be happy someone has a use for it. Might even be a fun way to intoduce them to your female version...next halloween wear it and knock on their door for treats. Its all fun.

Thank you, Larry. It is fun doing things like that, while in the spirit of it all, so to speak.
Save it for YOUR wedding, Loretta! That should give u time to find all the matching accessories! Including the veil!
Spend the money u save on honeymoon bustiers and bikinis!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Pics or it didn't happen!
Didn't your landlady already know? Or did I just make this up?!

I think I will!
It really needs dry cleaned.
Camera broke. Will have pics one of these days. Just need to wait for my electrician neighbor to fix it.
And I have a suspicion that the landlady knew. She commented on the closet of skirts and blouses I have in my closet, so I guess she left that dress and heels out for me.
"Move along people, there's nothing to see here."
Good luck with the camera. No a days it's cheaper to buy a new one than to "fix" the old one.
Wish I had a landlord like that. Would have saved me a bundle
Thats awesome! and of course you should take pictures! It didnt happen unless theres proof >.> <.< haha
Being dressed up is much better if you have someone else to admire and enjoy it with you.
