clothes!

[gfrancie]

This is THE dress.
I had my hair a lot more done, and I had on some fairly draggy make-up. (complete with the false eye-lashes) and the stockings and blah blah blah.
The dress is pretty awesome. My hair inspiration is Penelope Cruz in Volver.

I want to look like you!!

First step: have all of your ancestors sleep with everyone. I mean EVERYONE. Bonus points for other races/ethnicities.
Second step: years of sleep deprivation.
Third step: Eat lots of pasta, butter, and cream.
Step Four: shop eBay.

Just how muttly is your background?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I'd say most of Western Europe is covered, (Mostly Italian, Norwegian, & Irish, though it also covers english, French/German Alsatian, and Spanish) along with a healthy dose of Apache/Mexicans (obviously more Apache) and a sprinkling of African-American. Like I said. Both sides of my family had no reservations about other cultures. "what? You like to bone? Me too"

[jawnbc]

You are so multiculti! Kewl!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Why thank you.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

A+. You will give Salma Hayek a run for her money. (This is a better pic than the Twitter one too. Better pose and all.)

[mockduck.livejournal.com]

Stunning.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is probably the best dress I have bought in a long time. (that wasn't made just for me) I suspect I will wear this for years.

[rebeccmeister.livejournal.com]

YES. It is phenomenal and you look hot wearing it.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

now to stay more or less about the same size for the next twenty years so I can wear it a lot.

[jawnbc]

Totally rocking it!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

thank you

HOLY HOT MAMA

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The dress is rather comfortable.

[eventide82.livejournal.com]

LOVE IT. Very Mad Men.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Isn't it though? I admit that was half of the appeal.

[jess-faraday.livejournal.com]

WOW! The dress looks fantastic on you. Also love the shoes. The hair...Gorgeous. WOW.

[betsy-bobbin.livejournal.com]

That is really really fantastic and amazing. I love it.

[monkeytonic.livejournal.com]

You look AWESOME! That dress is perfect.

[kitchenwitch.livejournal.com]

HOT STUFF.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

danke

[kake]

I don't even like dresses, and I still think that dress is amazing.

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The dress is even more gem-toned in person. Dresses are kind of iffy. I like detailing but not too much so that the dress ends up feeling... to busy. But I liked the sparkle a lot. (sort of takes the place of a necklace)

[neptunia67.livejournal.com]

THE dress is gorgeous and it fits you beautifully!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

When I read the measurements for the dres, it was like it was custom-made

[seasecret.livejournal.com]

You look (using a newly discovered word) amazeballs!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Aww thanks.

[cutebutpsycho99.livejournal.com]

Damn. You are one hot mama. I also love the other picture of you and Miss Biscuit.

[mme-printed.livejournal.com]

You look stunning.

[emmabovary.livejournal.com]

This is a gorgeous dress (and shoes). You look fabulous!

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It was a battle at the party to keep the shoes on. Slightly higher than I usually wear. But worth the pain.

[kitschycookids.livejournal.com]

Luscious :)

[ooxc.livejournal.com]

That looks both smart and comfortable -

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

It is incredibly comfortable. The dress even has pockets. How useful is that?

[cjhm.livejournal.com]

Wow! The dress *and* the woman are awesome! And the colour on you is really beautiful! :-))))

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[jillithian.livejournal.com]

So pretty and that color is fantastic on you! You pull of the Penelope Cruz look very well - similar colorings. :)

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I realized the other day that this has been a color I've been drawn to since I was about six.

[ms-pooka.livejournal.com]

POW!

[robiewankenobie.livejournal.com]

well, damn.

[grx.livejournal.com]

hoe..lee...CRAP! You look AMAZING! That dress totally works.

[utsi.livejournal.com]

all that is missing is the red carpet :)
wowsers! (i'm especialy envious of the shoes, but i have big feet - so there's always shoe envy)

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

LADY, I have long/wide feet. Seriously. Fitzwell is the brand. So awesome shoes can be yours.

[utsi.livejournal.com]

O-M-G!!! shoe lust! how is it the states understands that people might need a 12, and canada just pretends they don't exist? must be part of our British heritage or something. i stole some work minutes to google fitzwell and i'm going to say thank you from the bottom of my soles! that's amazing. finding anything over a 10 around here can be cause for a major hospital visit (think black friday chaos) (either gender can claim dibs on the back off i found it first category of lethal around here)

i now need to find a way to keep the budget in mind... who needs rent paid if they have awesome shoes?

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

6pm.com (I don't know if they ship where you are) often has their shoes on sale. That is where I found mine for cheap.
