I wore a pretty tacky green sequined dress to our Color Guard's annual fundraiser "A Nite at the Races." While I suck at gambling and lost at every single race, apparently I do rock at being pasty white and having a fabulous be-sequined booty. When I came home I wanted Bryan to take some pictures of the whole effect, but he wasn't feeling well so I had to take some whoreish ones myself using a mirror. Please don't judge me. I mean, look at me and say "Damn, Stepho, I didn't know you could actually wear eyeliner!" 'cause I'm kinda proud of that, but please don't judge, say, my hair, which is growing in curly. It kind of looks like the "before" part of one of those Garnier commercials, and I'm not really sure what I should do with it. Attempt a geri curl maybe? Now that would be class.

I tried to get some full body pictures but all the sequins made things turn out blurry and blob-like. I wish they'd turned out, because sneaking the camera around my shoulder and surprising the dress with stealth didn't work too well and it doesn't really portray the Vegas style lounge singer look I had going on. I swear it looked ten times worse under flourescent lights and with racing tickets and cash shoved into my bra. They're up on the photos page.

Also up are pictures of the Wii tournament, wherein people played VR sports, drank beer, made a mess of the apartment and generally kicked a lot of ass. Lovely homemade prizes were handed out, and a fun time was had by all. Check it out, especially for those of you who were medal winners, and some of you who were not!

(Alison--I had one picture of you from that night but I didn't post it because we caught you in the middle of talking and laughing, and, well...it's a rather awkward shot. It really doesn't do you any justice. Next time we'll make you take a few more so that you can be put on the fun page. I figured you'd understand!)
