WHORE EYES!!!!
Oh, that made me laugh out loud. Not only because there’s something particularly funny about the pairing of the words, but also because that’s what I do when I feel underdressed: Whore eyes. I just never had a name for it before.
Those whore eyes, though; they’re tricky. One sweep too many of the eyeshadow brush and you’ve gone from “Hey baby, you lookin’ for a date?” to “My pimp punched me in the eyes.” I know this from experience.

hollie: thanks so much for stopping by! and yes, i do possess mind-controlling superpowers that allow me to force my cats to do my bidding. but only when my bidding involves them sleeping on the bed.
roy: it's the bridesmaid mystique - we're the ones who get to be slutty.
neil: you should've seen the bride! knockout! but... i think she's taken.
sass: AWESOME!!! i cannot wait!
jess: thanks for the comment! i'm starting to think there are more of us anti-shoppers out there than i once thought. we should start a support group.

Here via Jess at Daughterofopinion…I now see why you’re her blog crush–you are hilarious! Whore eyes and footless nylons indeed.
Sincerely, another blogger that hates to shop.

Jenny, I promise that if I ever get married I will select a fleet of bridesmaids and insist they all wear puffy lime green dresses with shoes dyed to match — so that you can be one of my bridesmaids.
(This is a promise akin to saying, I’ll split that mil with you when I win the lottery. I mean, it could happen, but I figure we’re both pretty much safe.)

Don’t you know that the bridesmaids are not supposed to look sexier than the bride?

I can’t think of anything to say, let alone something funny. You look out of focus, but beautiful.
Why are bridesmaids so haht?

glad you are back as i sorely missed your fab posts over the holidays. looks like you not only survived getting killed by your festively bedecked kitties and being a bridesmaid. perhaps you are a super hero in disguise?! thanks for the great update and enjoyable reading.

Jess: :::blush:::
Cheryl: $17? Wow – that’s a bargain! And I actually really like the dress a lot, so I know I’ll wear it again. So all in all, I guess it was worth it.
Viv: No kidding! Who ever heard of that? It’s gross!
Mike: I actually would like to start a collection of photos of me crashing various marathons across the globe.
diane: Wow – it might have been worth wearing the line green dress just to get to see Egypt – must’ve been a cool wedding!
Tracy Lynn: I think vowing never to wear pantyhose is the best New Year’s resolution anyone can ever make.
And thanks so much, but seriously – you guys are way too kind re: the photo. It all comes down to the whore eyes, anyway!
