but just one night couldn't be so wrong, you make me wanna lose control.

Well, two weeks ago we saw the prom episode of gossip girl. Blair's with Nate, once again, but Chuck still loves her, though "cant make her happy." For numerous years, apparently the Queen Bee had been keeping a little journal of her 'perfect' prom night, with Nate. The perfect evening involved the sketch of a dress. I'm not quite sure if in the series she sketched & designed it herself, or saw it somewhere, then did a quick sketch. In reality, this dress came out as a Marchesa dress back in late 2007, apparently 'B' can see the future. In December 2007 Penelope Cruz did a photo shoot for (US) Vogue, which was shot by Annie Leibovitz in Madrid.

"Beijing, Berlin, London, Paris, Madrid, Sidney... They know how to party"

Later on in November 2008, Dita Von Teese is seen all dolled up in the same gown to the 7th On Sale gala in New York City.

Finally, we see Leighton Meester, as Blair on Prom night. Originally she was dressed in the following black dress, up until her fairy god father left a surprise on her door stop. At least, i'm almost positive that it was this black dress, on account of the episode airing two weeks ago, and the Internet not being as faithful as it could, i cannot be sure.

In between shoots...

And finally, we have the end product, almost. Here we have the prom King and Queen, pre-break up, my apologies if that was a spoiler for anyone, but the episode showed a couple weeks ago. Thus it is your fault if i have ruined the surprise for you. You would not believe how hard it was to find this image. Apparently the Internet is not understanding my needs tonight.

Found one, finally! Personally i find it ridiculous that i spent a good half hour looking for a photo like the following a week or so ago, when it took me only 30 seconds to find this one. Hopefully this means some good karma is coming my way soon!

i make them good girls go bad

First of all, thank you Stephanie for the loan of your dress today, tres tres cute. Ironic how she bought the dress in Paris, the dress is pretty short on me, but i still looked mighty fine. Matched with a purple vest, an old, worn looking necklace, and brown 'cowboy' boots, i felt like a pirate almost, but in the good way. I wasn't sure that was possible actually. It's pretty hard to see from the image, but the dress is a lighter shade gray, and looks ripped, and worn. I absolutely love it!

I found the pieces for my costume today, or so i hope. The full outfit is still a surprise though, and i will likely do many more touch-ups and rearrangements. I didn't buy it all, but found 90% in the costume room. As already mentioned before, I did buy my boots, although those don't really match the rest of my 70's gear.

I went for a run today, it was the first sunny day in a while, so i figured that i would use the most of it. Also, i do need to get back in shape, hockey season is over, and i did gym last semester. I was only gone for about twenty minutes, but it's a good start. I felt that for a newbie in the running business i looked pretty set. Lulu lemon capri's, gray tank, and white high top converse, I do need real running shoes though, but these will work for now.

I really have no idea why there is such a colour, and brightness difference between the two pictures, i took them within 10 minutes tops of each other. My apologies, though.
