I'm more of a traditionalist. Black or White would be entirely appropriate. :)

I like that .... go for it!!! :)
I wish I were brave enough to wear that to the Ball; it would be one-of-a-kind, I bet. Sitting down while wearing it would require lessons, though. Maybe another year.
you look AMAZING!!!!
wonder who that COYOTE-UGLY guy is with you??????

We have been finding beautiful dresses at Dillard's lately. (We took a cruise in Oct. and needed some new clothes). Anyhoo, the Vietnam Veteran's thrift store is our favorite hangout. We go there once a week on Wednesdays, so we'll keep our eyes open in the dress aisle.
So looking forward to meeting all of you. I wish our kids had more than one night to get to know one another. My daughter is very shy for the first 6 months she knows someone, then after that, she'll never shut up. I hope she'll get to know some other conservative "kids".
i can't tell you how many NEW polo shirts i've found there for 1.99 AND a pilot's leather jacket with $400.oo store tag attached for EIGHT (8) BUCKS!

BOTH duckie & i are thrift shop/auction JUNKIES!
btw, my late wife made THE ALL-TIME BARGAIN purchase at a Dallas thrift store about 25 years ago.
she found a MINT-condition 100% HAND-brocaded gray silk-VELVET ladies riding habit with divided skirt,jumper,belt,lace blouse,boots,plumed top hat & parasol for the price of $35.oo total.(and would you believe it ALL fit VK, including the BOOTS ????)
the habit is circa 1890 and is NOW on permanent-loan to a textile museum in my home state! it's literally too valuable to wear!
NOTHING like that ever presented itself to me!

Link to list of many hotels in DC area. Kristinn typed in a query for two night stay, and it gave him this page.
Good luck, everyone!
Hotels and Room Sharing-- I got one HERE
Split four ways, that room of yours is a bargain at around $80 per person per night. Great location, too.
That's a suite, too; so a group of Freepers could share that room comfortably and very affordably.
Looks like we're thinkin' along the same line.
i wish i had the original of that pix!
btw,if i could go this time, i'd even have time to ask you to dance! imagine that!
