I picked up this dress at a Boscov's holiday sale. It's a very 50s-like style, though the fuchsia tulle under the skirt keeps it sassy!
In the spring of 2003, I wore this dress to a Mark Morris performance in Boston. I'd just started dating someone I really delighted in, D.F., a long-time friend who'd become a lover. On dates, we went out to classy restaurants and hot-ticket performances; all of this I loved - romping around Boston, eating fine food, discussing art. My previous love interests had preferred merely the couch and a DVD, so it was a new thing for me to be romanced this way; to share all this with someone. At Mark Morris, we had two seats in the back right corner, snug up against the wall. I came back from the bathroom where D.F. was bent over the program. I leaned down and kissed him long and hard on the mouth. And then, settled in next to him, both of us very happy.
Wow -- your camera in this picture is your 6th chakra! Very appropriate, as you look to me like Ruth St. Denis (modern dance ancestor of Mark Morris) doing one of her "nautch dances."
