Leave comments, people! Why is it, when you want to ask me to do something, do you email me instead? Philistines!

Rant, more or less over.

Because I was asked, and rather politely, I have taken photos of myself in some of my favorite dresses. I am smiling in all the photos (even those where my teeth don’t show). I have a malformed mouth that was corrected by 12+ years of orthodontia, so at least I can smile that much! You also get to see the white in my hair (it’s around my face), and how pale my skin is. Unfortunately, it tends to go red under a flash bulb, so, eh! What can I do? Here they are:

This dress goes to my ankles. I wear the hat (which is old-fashioned cleric shaped) during Spring and Summer to shade my face. I burn. I am wearing my rosary of wooden, black-laquered beads from Poland. Only that one nitwit relative of mine thinks I’m being disrespectful. I’ve gotten some very nice compliments on it. My husband feels like he’s married to a nun when I wear this.

My monk dress. I didn’t name it that, my mother did. I like the split sleeves. The necklace, of fan lace agate, was made by me. When I could see.

My “coat of many colors” dress. I don’t wear it too often. I wear it when I’m in a colorful mood. The necklace I am wearing is my little Time-Turner.

This is one of my favorite winter dresses, my purple dress. This is the one I was wearing when a sweet little boy came up and asked me why my husband, Prof. Snape, was so mean to Harry.

My red blouse with the really wide (or bell) sleeves. I also have a black blouse like this and might even get a dress that is full length with these sleeves. I do love the sleeves, but it’s annoying to thread them through the straps of my backpack.

So, there you have it. A fashion show. If you want to make fun of me, then get bent and leave. It was tough enough taking these photos.

The colorful dress came from Lotus in the Moonlight and the other dresses came from Holy Clothing.

By the way, I’m not really mean and nasty. I love all of you.
