I love the hoop-skirt idea, but you’ve got to be careful. Remember what happened to Slue-Foot Sue when she got married to Pecos Bill? Slue-Foot Sue was a cowgirl, but her mama made her wear hoopskirts. Well, when Slue-Foot Sue insisted upon riding Pecos Bill’s horse, that horse tossed her so high that she started bouncing and bouncing. She bounced for three days until Pecos Bill finally lassooed her. Slue-Foot Sue decided that marriage wasn’t for her after all. It broke Pecos Bill’s heart. I blame the hoop skirts.

Update: Okay, all you dress bullies, you can all relax. The fancy dress has been purchased, along with the fancy purse, the fancy shawl, the cheapo earrings, necklace, and matching bracelet.

And I tested the outfit by kicking a mannequin in the gut, so I think we’re okay.

Sigh. Do NOT gang up with Annette. She does not need the encouragement.

Robin, I agree with Annette, suck it up the event lasts only a few hours and why be a ‘standout’ at a fellow author’s event? You can do it!! If you have to be a rebel, do it quietly with men’s underwear or something unseen by the public eye.

This is not a day you will have to protect yourself or anyone else in the room—put the ‘flipping someone over your shoulder’ out of your mind. Be a lady, just for a short time. Yes, pictures are a must for your blog!!

little late on the “weigh-in”, though not as late as sara. haven’t read “all” the posts but have to throw in with deborah here. get thee to your nearest thrift store; buy thee anything that approximates christen’s “wedding dress” (in a pastel hue); have thy hair done up texas-big; add a wrist corsage and you are set. in the event that your husband balks at accentuating your obvious irresitable charms–dump his ass and invite , WHO??? humm, yeah that’s right patrick–even if it means purchasing a plane ticket and his own wrist corsage.

the blog (get behing me here bloggies) DEMANDS photographic evidence of your compliance. and please thank “twilight” writer lady or whoever she is for inviting all of us.

If Patrick wears the dress and the thong underneath it, I’ll give him the air ticket.

Patrick, you’re on. Forget coming to my book launch party–use your plane ticket for this.

Robin – If you’re going to wear pants, the best thing to do is bring a date in a dress.

Hold on while I check my calendar…
