Fricken-fracken Masquerade Ball

So when do we get to see it all put together and modeled just for us?

Probably on "the day". I had Davita take some pics the other day, but I hadn't done my hair (at all) and my face was super blotchy, not to mention the dress was hanging all funny and you could see my bra. I don't get to pick it up until Wednesday, and I'll be getting my hair styled on Saturday (not prom hair, just done nicely).

Dear God ... dh just told me he got an invite to a "pre-party" from an executive ...

Jen - is the ball tonight? When do we get to see pictures?

Yes, I can't wait to see how fabulous you look!!

tomorrow night. and i have HUGE blisters on both feet from trying to break in shoes.

Clearly I've been obsessing on this. I had a dream (nightmare) last night that we were rushing and rushing to get to the ball, having to complete all of these tasks and the mastermind behind it all was my friend Nicki (she was evil in this scenario), and we finished at 11PM ... so we missed it.

I'll be glad when it's over. I did make a mask, and it does rock, if I do say so myself.

I can't wait to see the pics. Make sure you get a foot rub tonight!

Don't forget to bandage up the feet before you go. And take a spare pair for the car.

Make sure you post a photo of your mask, too. You will look gorgeous, Jenn! I hope you have a great time!

If someone who has access to my FB page wants to post a link of a picture here, go right ahead. I can't figure out posting pics on the new format (yes, I've used the "insert image" / "paste URL here" thing and I still get the little red X).

Otherwise ... thanks for everyone's input. I loved my outfit (although it did not photograph well b/c of the fabric). My hairstylist ended up doing my makeup too, so I felt really good for the evening. Too bad it was wasted on that wacky party.

I know what you mean by wasted on that wacky evening, but if you got to feel really good, then HOOORAH! I am glad you felt fantastic.

Here you go!

And, it's not your fault it didn't work, if you tried to attach or link to it from facebook; facebook seems to make it extra-difficult. I had to copy the images to my own computer and use that copy to attach here.

BEAUTIFUL! and the mask is pretty awesome too!

thanks Sandy! (I knew it would be you to do it! FWIW, I also tried to do it from picasa web pages, and it didn't work there.)

L. Jane -- the event was held at the Midland in downtown KC.

[L.Jane]

I always miss KC when I'm gone. Its been since June since Ive been home and I have no idea when I will return.

ps, your pup in the pic is pretty cute too!

oh - and the full dress shot of me was taken at 11:45PM and my hair had seen better times. Also, it's kind of blurry b/c the material of the dress really does not photograph well. The flash would catch the shimmer of the material and create bulges, etc. where there weren't any.

[L.Jane]

You are over analyzing your picture. (We all do that) If its that late at night, you look better then fantastic. I wish I held up that well.
