About Me
- Name: Halley
- Location: Washington, D.C.
I am won over with offers of: (1) plane tickets, theatre tickets, concert tickets for anything folky; (2) late start times, obsolete alarm clocks, afternoon brunch; (3) charming personal anecdotes, a good bullshit story, choosing one’s own adventure; (4) pickles, multiple forms of the potato, every form of chocolate; (5) and dogs. All of them.

whoa, mama, look at those hips! pretty in pink. but who got married?
hang on, now! you lay off the hips. I reserve the right to blame the dress... and I'm using that right, right now: I blame the dress.
my sister is getting married next Nov. and my mom and I were finding the most obnoxious dresses to send a photo of to my sister to scare her into thinking we liked them. Because we're funny like that. At least, *we* think we're hysterical.
Unfortunately, mine didn't look as awful on my body as it did on the hanger. But hey, at least it made my boobs look huge.
As for my mom's dress, there was nothing that could hide the awfulness of the brown brocade with sequins.
Oh, thank god Halley. You don't know this, but I read your blog from time to time because I find your writing hysterical, and that picture of you and your mom scared the crap out of me. I was like, there is no way I can allow Alyssa to dress her family in this way, it's totally obscene (even if she does like purple).
Thanks for quelling my fears, and keep writing!
OH MY G*D, HAL!!!!
I'M GONNA GETCHA FOR THIS!!!
The photo does neither your dress nor mine justice! they almost look good here! 'my' chewing-tobacco-spit-brown with embroidery dress ... i should have had a rhinestone tiara on...that would have made all the difference! you, however, you always look beautiful....and tall here....but you could have at least used one of BOTH of us smiling!!!!
sexy. happy birthday hal!
Wow, you look hot! Hello from the entire cargo watch crew (and a Mississipi river pilot, too) aboard the tanker "The Monseigneur." We think the dress looks sexy and all kinds of allright on you, Halley, but on anyone else, it would be... a little over the top.
