Moulin Rouge

misselaineeous and ED and I went to a fundraising party for one of misselaineeous's employee's theater group.
It was a Moulin Rouge themed event, so we all had an excuse to pull out the finery that usually only comes out for Sanctuary and/or Sin City. My (commercially bought) bustier is pretty broken - the thin plastic boning is now permanently curved in and does not really provide any support - so I was even more envious then normal of ED andmisselaineeous's beautiful corsets. But ED and I are trying to meet tomorrow to get her started on custom-making me a corset, so that's all good.
We danced a bit, but the highlight was really the entertainment provided by the theater people: a goofy, 10 minute, rendition of Swan Lake by three men in leotards, an amateur burlesque dancer who kept up a funny running monologue about how unprepared she was, and a reverse strip-tease into a snow suit!
I love getting dressed up for things like this almost as much as I love going to them. In daily life, I wear lots of comfy clothing: t-shirts and sweaters, jeans, long skirts, walking shoes. I never really do my hair or put on any make-up. So it is fun to get all dolled up, put on some mascara and some heels. Last night I even wore my wig. Here's me as a red-head!
