I have a sweet first memory of this dress. It was the summer of 2004 and I had just started dating Shaun Geer, who is still one of my best friends, though we live on opposite coasts. He took me to a cook-out that his friend James was having in Somerville. It was an occasion for me to meet all of his friends, who were an awesome bunch of people - I felt like they all instantly became my friends, too. We ate burgers off of paper plates on a warm midsummer evening. It was one of the first times I really felt like I had a life in Boston, and wasn't merely there for academic servitude.
This picture was taken last night, at a birthday get-together of my friends Kristine and Laura. (That rascal in the back is Alice Turner, who likes to show off her foam sword.)
I love the dress and the story that goes with it! -- the cat with the foam sword is TOO much :)
