Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Wow, sounds fabulous! Robynn's milestone So last night was the annual SF AIDS gala for the s. I went last year, wearing a size 20. Last night, I wore a size 8. And here's the thing:The theme was "Rubies and Rhinestones". My dress was red, and skimmed along every curve. Very 40s movie star. It was strapless and had a little asymmetrical teardrop buckle on the side, gold with rhinestones in it. Ruby red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 LOL Robynn your post was so cute! I totally had a picture in my mind of what you looked like..even though I've never seen you! The thought of even getting close to a size 8 is a dream for me. Hell..I would be happy in a size 14! I simply cannot wait to buy smaller clothes! You don't know how bad I want to walk into a department store and not worry if they make sizes big enough for me! Connie Robynn's milestone > So last night was the annual SF AIDS gala for the s.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Robynn This is wonderful and a great memory to always have. What a year with WLS has done. Take care you FABULOUS lady. DonnaRobynn wrote: So last night was the annual SF AIDS gala for the s. I went last year, wearing a size 20. Last night, I wore a size 8. And here's the thing:The theme was "Rubies and Rhinestones". My dress was red, and skimmed along every curve. Very 40s movie star. It was strapless and had a little asymmetrical teardrop buckle on the side, gold with rhinestones in it. Ruby red. I bought some vintage jewelry, clip on earrings, a matching necklace and a beautiful matching bracelet. It fit my wrist, which was a miracle (because I have the wrists of a Russian peasant woman.) I had one of those short, white fur stoles (not real, I like animals too much). I had my hair done like Rita Hayworth. I had fake eyelashes on. I had a little gold vintage bag, and strappy gold high heels. was in a tux with a ruby red bowtie.I got more compliments! All the gay men (who tend to love me anyway...probably because they know I adore them) were telling me I was FABULOUS...several told me that they were going to have to rethink being gay altogether. This gay couple came up and flirted with and tried to speak French to him. They asked him to take a picture with them...and I said, "Let me take the picture, I'm good at that." Finally, they realized I was there...and one of them said, "HOney...you are obviously good at EVERYTHING you do!!" I laughed and said, "Why do you think that?"

And then he turned to his partner and said, "Can we keep them BOTH, please?!" It was hilarious! And great for my ego.SO, I was FABULOUS. In a red dress that hugged every curve.
