Hit up different stores and malls but the chic fabulosity I so desperately required was nowhere to be found. By seven o'clock last night I'd yet to come across it so decided to go with my first outfit choice, skinny jeans and a meat shirt à la Lady Gaga.
And then as I was exiting Dillard's there it was, hung high and shooting darts of glamour in every direction:
Yes it cost as much as my cable and phone bill combined but these sort of things only come around once in a while and you could never have too many little black dresses so I said screw it and bought it, already envisioning my grand entrance to the less-than-swanky location my reunion will be held in.
Fantasy:
Was told this morning I have a mandatory meeting early this evening so most likely I'll be rocking out my current ensemble of black slacks and wrinkled shirt with a coffee stain to the reunion but I'm not worried. Surely by the time I arrive everyone will be too drunk to notice, or I'll be too drunk to care.
Either one works. Preferably the latter.

Bring the sexy LBD to training, change and head over to make your grand entrance at your reunion. And don't forget to let your former classmates know that you are way famous in the blogging world. Then drink lots of vodka, party like it's 1999, find a hot guy and then commence with your de-virginizing ceremony. Oh, and somewhere in between make sure you have a couple cupcakes. It will be all good, I promise!

You should still go home and get ready after your training session. Rule numero uno in making an entrance is showing up late, everyone knows that! What diva school did you attend?
Can't wait to read all about the reunion, but I hope it's a happy story! :)
If you show up fashionably late, maybe an hour or two, that will give all the old school peeps a chance to get nice and lubricated.. i.e. stinky faced drunk.
Then no matter who walks in or what you are wearing, they will be excited because it's a new person to tell their boring ass life story to!

GIRL, work that shit regardless. no one's gonna remember! :D
plus, i'm pretty sure 80% will be much less classy than you with your possible coffee stain <3

Change when training is over! Work that dress, girl!
I'll find a way to make it work. Oh yeah and I gave myself a mini-mullet last night so I'm in need of a haircut. I may just not make it at all.
FUN times. All I know is starting at 5 o'clock there will be vodka flow.
Just wear the fabulous dress to the training session- you never know who'll be there anyway!
Dinner With Kir
I'm with everyone else. Change after training and be a little late looking like the beauty queen we know you are. With that dress nobody is going to be looking at your hair anyway. The Empress is so right. Do what she says. Have a blast and if you know anyone who will be there before you, text them when you are coming and let them get the room worked up for you. That's what friends do. If I was there I'd have that room waiting for you like the Red Carpet ceremony at the oscars. You rock!
Wait a minute!!! One of the perks of being unemployed is that you don't have to go to mandatory meetings on Friday nights. What the hell is happening here? Are congratulations in order?!?
Regardless, congrats on your new glamor dress. It'll be better spent on your future celibacy breaker than a bunch of old teenagers anyways.

Annah I forgot....I am going to be 50 so guess this is the beginning of the old age memory...I found it so friggin' funny that your blog and my blog from yesterday both mention Lady Gaga and her meat outfit. Did you read mine? Great minds do think alike. On the same day, those minds are brilliant!!!

Kirsten: Think I'm just going to be late and rock it out the best of my ability.
Barb: You're the best.
Free: I have a two month temporary position. Girl where have you been?! ;) Grrrrrr
i say bring the dress and some fresh flowers for your hair. if it is truly mullet-like, you can pin the sides up and kind of mask it. and a fresh flower is always perfect. bring lots of hairspray too, to create volume - after a day of boringness, your hair may be a bit flat.
you have to go. you have the dress! also, you should show up at least a bit late so you can make an entrance and not be the first one at the bar. you'll have plenty of time! if you don't go, you'll wonder if you should have until the next reunion!

Definately wear the dress if you do have to change because we all "know" how awesome black looks on you. Don't let us down girl. They deserve only the best Annah and you can do it. I have no doubt you can handle it.
Odie
great idea, kristen! just wear your fabulous new little black dress to the training session, you're sure to get a full time position wearing that sexy number! and don't forget, arriving late has some benefits, the drunker they get, the better you'll look! besides, you've got famosity on your side!
just change in your car! just don't do it at wal-mart! ;)

I agree with the others. Wear the dress and come late. I didn't realize that you had a temporary job (doing what?) and I read your blogg religiously! Have fun. Look forward to reading about it.
Definately need to go to it, you're gonna look awesome, and showing up late is key to show off that you're a busy woman but care enough to show up.
You will be fabulous!!

It's all about the confidence, babe. Rock it out!
Ayi amiguita, you are too funny!! HS Reunion, here we come!!
little black dresses are the awesomest thing ever
Your first outfit looks like it's made from pints of beer! It would be awesome to have an entire outfit made of booze, imagine a mojito dress which you could sip from all night and you'd smell of mint and sugar :)
Just have fun at the Reunion Girlo.
Danny Boy
Oh, you'll look great. As always. Once you get over the initial awkwardness you'll wind up having a blast.
If you don't change ino the dress I will be disappointed in you.
that is one sexy ass dress. house it!
Well, it's after 10 on the east coast...I can't wait to find out what is happening RIGHT NOW...slacks or stinky work body inside gorgeous dress? Pinned up work hair, or more money spent at salon for blow-out? If there are any trophy wives in your old h.s. crop, they will likely be the only ones looking airbrushed in live HD...can't wait to see the drawings :)
i hope right now you're at the reunion rockin the dress and dazzling everyone with your engaging charisma! and i hope there is vodka, lots of vodka involved! lol can't wait for the dets!!!
Change in the phone booth Supergirl!!
Question! Why no showering on Sundays? Is there a special significance to this day?
Personally, I like to imagine your reunion going down like the season premiere of this year's It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, with you filling the role of Sweet Dee. Even if your former crush is now fat, that doesn't mean he can't be the perfect dude to break your streak!
So hope you wore the LBD even if you changed after the meeting. You have to look amazing for a reunion. Details soon please
Ha! Where are all the gays?! I love it!!! Jam out with your clam out guuurrrlll!!!
This was too funny to read. I love the meat shirt meal combo! So how was your reunion? I went to mine over the summer, but eh gads, it was my 25th! Once you get that old, everyone was just pretty chill. I did get my groove on to some Prince though which was cool!
The first twenty pounds after high school look pretty good on most people. Enjoy it.
Fuk all, be yourself my dearest.
Gotta tell you... wore a sexy dress to my own class reunion... all I noticed was how all the guys had gotten fat and bald. No one there to impress. Ten years turns guys UGLY. Either that or I had constant non-alcoholic beer goggles on in high school!
Hope you had (have??) a blast.
Rock the meat top to the meeting, cook the steaks, then serve them at the reunion, giving you reason for your fashionably late arrival with food, in the dress-o-fabulosity. Plus, they'll never know they're eating your worn garment. bitches. ;) ~@theStorysmith
# 1 You looked awesome and even better than you did in high school, but I expected nothing less.
#2 The shirt was fab and I wasn't more than a drink and half in so I do remember your entrance
#3 It was great seeing you, even if it was ever so briefly.

i need that on a shirt!!!! or a banner for my blog or something.
loving your craziness as usual!
