...pictures of my dress for New Year's Eve.





(Unfortunately, these pictures make me look like I'm being menaced by my own shadow. Our digital camera was a free hand-me-down from a friend, and many subtleties appear to be beyond it.)

That is one fine dress. Is it velvet?

Re:

Is it velvet?

Yes. A very lush velvet with some weight to it. Mmmm.

*whistle*

Pettable in which direction? ;)

[rivka.livejournal.com]

I'm torn between maintaining an air of mystery on this question, hoping that the curious will come by on New Year's Eve to find out, and advertising the fact that it's pettable in both directions.

Which do you think would ultimately result in more petting? *grin*

[geekchick]

I vote for C) All of the above. :)

[therealjae.livejournal.com]

Oh. My.

Lovely. And the dress is very nice, too. ;)

*faint*

(you look very pettable in it. probably an accident, huh? ;-) )

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

Pettable's probably the most relevant adjective. :)

[hobbitbabe.livejournal.com]

Ooh, lovely!

What are your New Year's Eve plans?

Re:

[rivka.livejournal.com]

We're going to an English Country Dance. They hold the New Year's dance in a beautiful 18th-century mill, and there's live music and a dessert buffet and champagne at midnight.

At our balls, people try to dress in period clothes or reasonable approximations thereof, but a lot of folks wear evening clothes on New Year's Eve. curiousangel and wcg will be wearing tuxedoes.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.

And also, <keanu>whoa</keanu>.

Oh my!

[annaoj.livejournal.com]

That's just gorgeous!

[janetmiles.livejournal.com]

*Very* pretty.

[rmjwell.livejournal.com]

And the dress is nice, too.

[kightp.livejournal.com]

*swoon*

[patgreene.livejournal.com]

What a beautiful dress!

[ex-helygen254.livejournal.com]

Gee, it's awfully warm in here. *fanfanfan*

[bcholmes.livejournal.com]

Humina. Can I borrow that fan?

[wcg.livejournal.com]

Oh darling... yes.

[tsjafo.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! And the dress is pretty, too!

[baratron.livejournal.com]

That would be my comment too :)

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

*whimper*

[mittelbar.livejournal.com]

hee!

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Uma, uma, uma, you're going to bring that to APC10, right? indyansel and I will be there, and I'd like to find out exactly how pettable it is ;)

After hearing annaoj talk about how nice it was to meet you at APC9, I'm looking forward to doing the same at APC10. That dress would just be the frosting :)

[porcinea.livejournal.com]

Oh, my. Oh my, oh my, oh my. Save a dance for me.

[elisem.livejournal.com]

Oh! Splendid!

Splendid *and* tactile. Good plan.

dahling,

[nex0s.livejournal.com]

you look mahvalous!

"n"
is for "enjoys a pettable rivka"

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

Definitely pettable-looking.

Purely out of scientific curiosity, I volunteer to do research into a) precisely how pettable it is, and b) whether Rivkas purr...

[kalmn.livejournal.com]

you look very pleasing and happy. :)

[rmjwell.livejournal.com]

Ashas been mentioned elsewhere, the dress and you are both extraordinarily yummy. I hope one day to confirm the pettability of it myself.

On a semi-random note, in the final picture your face reminds me of Donna from the West Wing. Just thought I'd mention that.

[lizardling.livejournal.com]

Oooooer. *prettypretty!* wanna touch.

hmm....

[tendyl.livejournal.com]

Very nice...

[jinian.livejournal.com]

It's pretty. The best part is that you're looking so pleased with it, though. :)
