heh...this is a bimbotic blog, about the wonders of shopping
my mom is always glad to see me home and i am treated like a little princess when i get back. part of our mother and daughter ritual is shopping, coz she likes dressing me up like a doll or trying to mould me in her image despite the fact that i look really different from her when she was my age.
but i have to admit that i like the shopping. i manage to find lots of nice things which i then con
my parents into buying provided that i think i really like it and it is a reasonable price. just a few days ago, i (or rather, my mom) bought the perfect fire engine red dress that i have been looking for for a while now. i didn't know what kind of dress it was that i wanted until i saw that dress, but i knew that it shouldn't be frilly or be in the style of the dress from the movie, Lady in Red. frills and me gahhhhh! no lace and no satin. no spaghetti straps and no sequins. i'm not Ms. Monroe. i saw it hanging on the rack and died from shock at the price so i moved on, but it caught my mom's eye and she told me to go try it on.
I should have wondered right from the very start why she was so eager to pay that kind of money for me to wear that dress.....
it turns out that she had a dress that was almost exactly like it, back in the good ol' days when my dad was courting her, except that her's had a halter-neck....i wanted to illustrate it here, but my computer here is ancient and dying and can't support many more programs and i can't do it in paintbrush...(i lack the computer skills...). it's a sleeveless number that starts at my neck and falls to somewhere just below my knees where it flares very slightly and subtly. it is belted at the hips and falls straight from shoulder to hips but is slightly loose so that it limns my body loosely so that i don't look shapeless.
i wore the dress today, with the argh %$(#*$@*& result (which was unconsiously expected) of her telling all the friends that we met the story behind the dress. argh argh argh
hmph. mothers! but i love my mother all the same
