Lots of drunk people running around in formal attire.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, two Christmases ago I was getting ready for the party and pulled out a pair of control-top pantyhose to wear under my long dress. I don't wear pantyhose much anymore so heaven only knows how long they'd been in my pantyhose bag. <BR/><BR/>I get to the party and we mingle, get something to eat, mingle some more, dance a little, mingle, eat, drink and after a while I feel the pantyhose sliding out of place. I went to the bathroom to investigate and it seems the elastic in the waist was rotten (apparently they'd been in the pantyhose bag a LONG time) and stretched out of shape. I ended up having to almost tie the waistband into a knot to keep them up. I'd have just taken them off and tossed them except they were the kind with the built-in panties and uh... I'd have been commando at that point.<BR/><BR/>This is TMI, right?<BR/><BR/>So I chucked all those old pantyhose and bought a new pair in each of my usual colors (nude, taupe and off-black) for those occasions I need them.<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-85862114760291668192007-06-30T09:56:00.000-05:002007-06-30T09:56:00.000-05:00I, for one, would rather be uncomfortable and look...I, for one, would rather be uncomfortable and look right, than be hanging out all over.

I was a RITA finalist in 200? -- the last time we were in NY, I can't remember the exact year at the moment, and I'm just on my first cup of coffee so my brain's not functioning properly. Anyway, I bought a really nice dress that was form fitting and required a girdle thingie that fit me from above the waist to mid-thigh. It was not terribly uncomfortable, and I did walk around in it for a while to make sure it stayed in place. <BR/><BR/>Then on the night of the RITA ceremony, I saw someone I knew in the lobby and sat, and IMMEDIATELY the girdle-like thing rolled up on my thigh. Just a little, at first, but since the dress was snuggish you could see the little roll. I was running to the ladies room all night to smooth the thing down, since removing it would've been a disaster - as if it would've fit in my tiny little purse. <BR/><BR/>I suppose this is not the time to tell you that I'm not wearing a bra to the RITA ceremony this year ... <BR/><BR/>LJLinda Winstead Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870355400804918712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-67843310030317938872007-06-30T03:05:00.000-05:002007-06-30T03:05:00.000-05:00I definitely agree with you 100% about double chec...I definitely agree with you 100% about double checking on clothes before you pack. I've had incidents with clothes on trips myself that were not fun at all. One time I remember washing a particular blouse in a washing machine and the purple of the blouse leaked out somehow to some of the other clothes. The good thing was that I made sure the color of the clothes together in that washing were almost the same with only a few blue items getting purpled. Taught me a lesson about reading labels and double checking things before hand.<BR/>I wanted to thank everyone at The Writing Playground for picking me as a winner in your contest. But really, it's a pleasure to be here and blog with such great people. My congratulations to the other winners in the contests!LadyVampire2uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162357464852287493noreply@blogger.com
