Cunard Fashions

I don't know what happened to me during my childhood but, every time I see a polka dot dress, I think of Minnie Mouse. Why - I don't have the foggiest clue.

Shoes.com sent me an email - they are having a big sale this Saturday, up to 50% off. Its from 5 a.m. - Midnight. I know I'll be checking it out!

Girls, I'm working on our fashion show presentation right now. Is there anything "specific" you would like to know - for example, maybe you'd like to see how different materials pack. One of my favorites is jersey because you can roll it, squeeze and basically not treat it nicely and will a little steam it falls right out and you're ready to go.

I'd like to know the best way to pack dresses (especially some of the larger ones, like full skirted ball gowns) and how to fit it in a bag! I'd also like to see some elegant casual and semi-formal wear that aren't dresses (pants and nice tops, etc.) because its hard to tell what type of pants and style of tops are acceptable.

Ooh, and not sure if you can do this since everyone's dress is different.. but maybe some ideas on how to change up your look when you have to wear the same dress more than once! I remember as a kid, my mom would always say to throw a sweater on over a dress to make it a skirt, haha.. do people still do that?

I actually do that even for work, including court appearances. I have a few dresses that I wear with a blazer and it looks very professional with the right combination.

FYI, they send out those emails about twice a month.

Haha..yeah, I'm sure they are used to turning away men with no jackets! I'd love to see their face if you didn't have pants on!

i did cruise where there was a man dressed as a woman. no don't get me wrong - he did not try to look like a woman - he just wore women's clothing. it was freeky. i just ran across a picture of him on my picture card.

I'm starting to like Oscar de la Renta!!! He seems to almost always have dresses and neck lines that I would wear.

Looked at enough dresses that now at least I kinda know which ones I will probably want with certain labels. Calvin Kline also is often good too.

nick if that was you can i tell you that the red pocketbook you wore almost all the time was definitely not for formal night
