When I heard it was a masked ball this year, I knew just who to invite as my date, as he's quite comfortable behind a mask. However, at the last minute he stood me up...something about fighting crime. He did promise to swing by if he got done early, though.
Without an escort I thought about staying home, but I knew quite a few of my blog friends would be there. Besides, I already had my dress picked out. Don't you think the dark red jersey of this Donna Karan gown coordinates well with my escort's mask?
I don't think a dress like this needs a whole lot of bling. In lieu of jewelry, I'm showcasing this gold-plated Harlequin mask covered with Swarovski crystals.
If you've never been to the Willow Manor Ball before, why don't you stop by? Everyone is invited, and the event lasts for an entire 24 hours.
Oh, so smart!
ReplyDeleteWhy,thank you [blushing]
DeleteI love the dark red dress and mask ~ Typical of your date to leave you..he..he...
ReplyDeleteMen are so unpredictable, aren't they?
DeleteAhhhhh......the trouble with dating superheros..........
ReplyDelete*sigh*
;)
Never know when they're going to be pulled away...
Deletespideys loss, our gain...I'm no superhero, but if you'd care to dance?
ReplyDeleteTom, I'd LOVE to dance! Let's wait for the next slow song so we can chat at the same time.
DeleteLove the dress, have a great time!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteKathy this looks like fun, if time permits I'll have to check it out! I love your attire; elegant, classy and such a beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteCheers.
Darlin, it would be LOVELY to see you there!
DeleteBeautiful dress. Such elegance.
ReplyDeleteNever mind the man - you can have a couple of turns on the dance floor with Placido if you want to - if you can find him that is. He's such a charmer!
Thanks for the offer, Bee. I'll be on the lookout for Placido. Maybe if I'm lucky he'll sing in my ear while we're dancing.
DeleteOh yes! 'Spidey' and the guests do approve!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that Tess had chosen a red dress also I was mortified; it's never a good idea to upstage the hostess! However, I think there's enough of a crowd that it won't be too obvious.
ReplyDeleteI adore the dress...so very classy...lovely to see you at the ball...
ReplyDeleteThanks--having a wonderful time.
DeleteOh, the dress so elegantly drapes and floats upon the floor! And at the Willow Manor Ball, you will never trip. I have a man who LOVES to dance and sing... and I'm sharing him as I must eat all the fries and ketchup I can tonight (something I NEVER eat at any other time).
ReplyDeleteMargaret, thank you so much! As I seem to have been completely stood up, I'll be "borrowing" as many dance partners as I can.
DeleteYou're absolutely right; less is indeed more, when you're wearing such an elegant dress. Has Spidey shown up yet?
ReplyDeleteNo, he never did. I'll remember that when it comes time to choose a date for next year!
DeleteThat is a beautiful dress, and spiderman to keep you company.. purrrfect xx
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteLovely! A pleasure to meet you and Spidy at the ball.
ReplyDeleteOh my, YES! That's gorgeous! How perfect for you!
