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.
