Here is the other horrible dress I rescued out of a trash heap.
It is in such great condition and it is such an excellent example of the fashion of a very specific point in time (very early 1980s) that I had to keep it. It may be ass ugly. It may be a color that is completely wretched with my complexion. It may be an utterly unspeakable garment. But in all of its awfulness, it manages to be rather spectacular.
This one I have yet to wear in public. I half-assed considered wearing it to Joel’s work holiday do, but I really don’t want to embarrass him in front of his co-workers. At least not because of my dress sense.
