Billie becomes a bridesmaid, well sort of.

[BillieAnneJean]

So my SO calls me Thursday and says that a local TV station and a local Radio station are putting on a "Bridesmaid's Ball". The theme is to wear a bridesmaid dress from some wedding that they were in. A dress that isn't any good for anything else. She said that we should go, it would be fun. I was blown away! For her to suggest it. AND to clarify that she wanted me to go enfemme, in a BIG dress, so it would be fun. Totally blew me away. Not that I want to go out with her girl/"girl" as a habit. I prefer girl/guy because that is what I signed up for. But occasionally it won't alter the dynamics of our relationship. And anyway it was her idea, she said it would be fun. But you have to win tickets by being the tenth caller. Then she wins tickets! So the deal is done.

Fortunately Billie is prepared. Bridesmaid on call. Have dress will travel.

So I get all dolled up, big dress, huge petticoat slip, sky high silver peep toe pumps with ankle straps. Plus a glitter silver little purse. All done up and off we go.

I was the only CDer there. And the women went wild! I was in everyone's pictures. One good looking gal came up behind me and plastered herself to me as we danced, said she had to feel me up and that I had a great body "in there". All in fun and all so innocent. When she was done I said "Now my turn". And she said OK and turned for me to get behind her. But I am COMPLETELY dedicated to my SO so I just laughed it off.

What a great time!

Thank you honey! And tomorrow we go dancing on a girl/guy date. Life is about balance.

I am having SO MUCH FUN!

BTW dress: Goodwill $9.99. See through shrug: Goodwill $5.99. Purse: on sale at Kohls $5.00. Fun: priceless!

Slaves to international advertising, this phrase is/was popular in the UK, but very apt nonetheless :heehee:.

[Kim_Bitzflick]

WOW! You look great and it's great that your wife suggesed it. I hope someday to have an occasion to wear a pretty dress like that in public.

[BillieAnneJean]

Kim,
Check out my thread on Drab to Fab!

Next Saturday May 2nd I and some of the gals at D2F will be wearing big dresses like this and after the formal dance, bar hopping in them. Last year the people were taking pictures of us and having a great time with us.

Such Fun!

[Stephanie47]

You look absolutely marvelous. With your height and the shoes there is no way you will never "blend in" with the crowd. You tower over everyone. You look lovely. You're so fortunate to have such an understanding SO.

[natalie_cheryl]

Oh I love that dress! What a fun event to go to wish something like that was held around here

[Rosaliy Lynne]

love the dress - you were gorgeous - sounds like a really good time.

[Allisa]

With three sisters all of their bridesmaid dresses were horrendous, yours looks lovely and so do you.

[stacycoral]

Sarah

[Isabella Ross]

What a dress! What a bridesmaid! What a night! What jealousy I have!

[justmetoo]

Wow, you make that $9.99 gown look marvelous! Sounds like a lot of fun, and so cool that your wife suggested it!

[BillieAnneJean]

BTW one of the women in the photo with me opened my purse and was looking around in it. When I asked her what she was looking for she said tampons. I told her I had already gone through "the change".

Such Fun!

[Victoria StJohn]

Love this story, so much fun with all those ladies. I'm envious, envious.........

[SharonDenise]

Wow, you look fantastic! I would love to be in the same situation.

[Stephanie Julianna]

Amazing! I love the story, I love the dress and you look amazing. What fun.

[Beckymarye]

Wow, you look totally amazing

[MissTee]

That looks and sounds like so much fun. Thank you for sharing. Since you were the only one that dressed, I was curious if anyone shared with you that maybe they wanted to dress up for the dance but didn't and for what reason.

[jjjjohanne]

What a pretty dress! You look great. But... why were all the other women at the dance so short?!?

[Shelly Preston]

You look wonderful Billie

I am sure you now have some unforgettable memories. :)

[Kandi Robbins]

Outstanding! Real cool story (Ok I'm jealous). I am sure you will remember that for quite a while.

[Claire Cook]

Wow, just like everyone else here all I can say is what a GREAT story. You two are VERY lucky.


BTW one of the women in the photo with me opened my purse and was looking around in it. When I asked her what she was looking for she said tampons. I told her I had already gone through "the change". Such Fun!

Oh, this is a classic! Great comebacker -- what I would have given to have seen this! Now I know what to say trhe next time I'm asked for one in the Ladies' room...

Thanks so much for brightening the day for all of us!

Hugs,

Claire

[BillieAnneJean]

There were a lot of five foot tall women at that dance. In one picture they were all barefoot while I was in heels. There were a few women that were nearly six feet tall. Even the "priest"was short. But also with me in the front and the tall ones in the back, that makes me look taller. I am just under six feet tall and was wearing six inch heels that night so I was around 6' 5" tall.
Regardless, I was having fun and drawing most of the other people in to my act.
SUCH FUN!

[kaleyg]

Gorgeous! A dream.

[Sarasometimes]

Looks like you had great fun. Did the TV station air any of it? Did you dvr the news? Were you the only "girl" who kept her heels on all night? I like the dress, definitely says BRIDESMAID!

[Debra Russell]

You looked absolutely gorgeous - lucky girl.........................Debra

[JenniferR771]

Lucky you, Billie. You have the most beautiful dress in the picture. Give your wife an extra big hug. And she called you--so so cool! What a fun time that must have been. You surely have a good eye for fashion and Goodwill shopping. Jealous--so jealous!

[Sabrina133]

Girl,

YOu look fantastic....hope you really enjoyed it. It sure looks like you did....

[S. Lisa Smith]

What a wonderful time!!! Glad you had fun!!! As everyone has said, you look fabulous!!!!

[Kristy 56]

Billie,you look fantastic ! What a time you had too. The best way to meet women is to become one :)

[daviolin]

Sounds like this was the best time ever. You look ravishing. Daviolin

[suzanne]

Amazing story! Amazing dress! You look fantastic! One thing I find most amazing is how enthusiastic some women can get about a man who shows up a dress.

[Beverley Sims]

Billie,
You certainly look smashing, you run rings around that girl in the background with all the ink on her arm.
You are carrying less weight than some of the others too.

I give you nine out of ten. :)

[MssHyde]

Lovely, your blessed

[JennykBailey]

Wow that looks like a really fun event!

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Billie, It looks and sounds like you were the real Belle of the Ball.:daydreaming:

[Byron]

Looks amazing, and lots of fun. You look gorgeous, and a full outfit at that price can't be beat :)

[Stephanie_83]

You look spectacular! Sounds like a truly amazing night - so glad to hear about a great adventure!

[bimini1]

That's just damned awesome are you are a stunner. I don't believe I could ever pull off the strapless look you will have to give me some pointers.
