a red carpet affair

the formal evening began long before this first picture, with mascara and plenty of bobby pins. 

we curved up hobble creek to an incredible mansion, with a treehouse inside, billard tables to spare, a kitchen the size of my apartment, a ballroom, an arcade room, and of course, a playhouse {complete with slide} enclosed in the stone walls of greatness. 

we even had a red carpet upon entering.

and this was waiting for us!

{we were destined to eat together for the evening}

{movie reels. for real}

{we went a little tyra up in here!}

{america's next top model. work it, gurrrl!}

{i struck a pose for the cameras. the more awkward, the better}

 

{we're too sexy for our own good}

{i love the lighting in this}

i love any occassion to wear this dress.

 it is the single most expensive article of clothing i possess. 

too bad black is considered morbid for a wedding dress, because if i could, i would wear this. 

perhaps i'll just buy it in white...
