Eff 'em Sharon. Pick what you like. I really doubt you'd put anything whorish on.

Our ball was last night. I didn't want to go because every dress I tried on made me look like a weeble.

I feel ya Sharon. I'm actually the opposite this year. Most other years I was all concerned and planning and dress shopping months ahead of time. All of a sudden this year it feels like just an obligation and I just don't care! Lol. I'm wearing a gown a friend of mine mailed to me from Japan, I just had to get the zipper fixed. It's not what I would have picked, is slightly big in the chest and about and inch too short. And I DGAF! It's presentable and if anyone wants to snicker and whisper about my appearance they are more than welcome. In the end they'll be wasting their time and attention on me and my night and life will go on with out so much as a hiccup!

I'm not sure why I feel this way this yr I've been doing the USMC ball for 17 yrs and never had a problem. However strangely I've been having self esteem issues since loosing weight,you'd think it would be the opposite. |

I think the pamphlet just uses a shit load of words to day "don't dress like a whore."
