• My sister is getting married in a few weeks.

    I wont steal the limelight from those female bloggers who specialize in whining about too many parties and family obligations.

    I pretty much have to just show up (6000 miles away) and find something to wear.

    The showing up part will begin as my flight is this Saturday night.. first to LA to visit family, and finally arriving in Atlanta for the wedding.

    So naturally I waited until this week to start looking for a dress.

    In my attempts to avoid wrestling my way through miles and miles of American prom chinze and tafetta to find the perfect dress, I went to a local rental place. I ran into a good friend there who directed me to another place in another area of town. I maneuvered my way through this literal maze and thankfully squeezed my car into some corner. The store has nothing in Navy. Waste of my time. Ok, I didnt want to mention NAVY and why I need to find navy, so don’t get me started.

    I noticed another store when I was parking and make my way over there.

    It’s around a corner and up stairs. I walk in. The woman working there gives me the once over. Then she says

    “we have nothing in your style here”

    There is nowhere to go from there except exit. Here I was desperate to get rid of my money and own a dress, and instead I left her alone in her hard to find empty store, with no customers.

    With economic times being so tough, can you really afford to sum me up because today I am not dressed like YOU?

    You didn’t see me yesterday and you don’t know what I am capable of tomorrow.

    Reminds me of the famous scene in Pretty Woman: (its the first minute of this clip)



    Q: So I have 2 questions for you:

    1. Where can I find a nice long slinky navy dress that doesn’t have rhinestones and flowery yuck all over it?
    2. Can you tell me some more Big. Huge. marketing mistakes?
