RED DRESS Photo Essay, part 1

"FINALLY!", you are probably whispering to yourself under your breath, "I thought she'd NEVER post those bastards!". Well, you are proven wrong my friend, I AM hereby posting the photos from the Red Dress Party----only a little later than I had planned but what the hell. Hope it was worth the wait (but hello!, men in red dresses, always worth waiting for!).

Here's the ever cute Roommate in Cowboy mode. Some men are just so macho they are still hot in a halter/spaghetti strap combo dress.

We had started the pre-pre-pre-funk at our casa at around 3 pm, even though the Roommate had stated days in advance that he didn't want to start drinking until 6 (since it was going to be a long night). Yep, no self control around this gang; once Rusty hit town all bets were off.

Here's a group shot of the boy, me and Rusty. Rusty went for the "unwashed red neck" look, ever popular in Vancouver WA, but a little unseemly in Portland. Sorry Dude, that hair is JUST NOT SEXY, even if it is fake it shall not be excused. Also, I guess it's kind of obvious from this photo that my dress was a little on the pink side. I simply called it "light red" and left it at that.

Look how cute and lady-like Michelle is with her legs crossed and all. Lady like? Oh, honey, I could tell you stories.......

Bad asses, that's all I can say about these two. Don't leave your red patent leather clutch lying around without supervision if you see these two in the vicinity.

The Pre-pre-funk was actually at a restaurant where I assume the sight of about a dozen people, men and women alike, sitting around a large table all wearing red dresses wasn't that uncommon. We only had one stranger brave enough to come forward and ask for a photo. Cosmopolitans were the order of the day, in keeping with the "light red" theme.

The official pre-funk was at Mitch's house and he was serving up some strong red drinks, not sure what they were but at that point we didn't really care. We were getting our collective buzz on. You will be happy to know we cab'd it the entire night; better red than dead, I always say.

Ok, Kiddos, that's it for the pre-funks. Stay tuned for the main event. Hopefully tomorrow.
