everybody cut loose
with lady's wedding coming up, and jen freaking out about what to wear, and that whole ban on track pants/red leather, i decided to mosey on down to the ghettoglen mall for some dressage, or rather some snazzywear for the shindig...out of this visit came a list:
1. NO PURPLE.
2. no, my boobs will not fit into that.
3. indian weddings do not share a dresscode with rave parties or fetish fridays.
4. if you take the lady's survey, you get four bucks. woot.
5. if i couldn't wear it to church, i couldn't wear it to the wedding.
6. they should not play 'wang chung' and 'footloose' in succession while i am trying on dresses. the dance i tried to do while half in an anne klein shift nearly killed me.
7. i am a part-time tomboy but a full-time hater of buying shoes and trying on dresses.
8. the employees all fail the machete-sherpa test*
i made it out alive and with aforementioned snazzy duds and four dollars in hand. sonia, your wedding better be worth a pink dress (o:
* the machete-sherpa test was something introduced to me by my buddy, the ever-classy tufts grad matt. it is quite simple: without looking these terms up, what is a machete and what is a sherpa? he has his theories about who would know these things...boys...bookish sorts... so lay it on me, yo: what are they???

The older I get, the less I like shopping for that kind of thing, too.
Machete is a big knife/sword you can use to cut tall grass, sugar cane, or other plants. A sherpa is one of those people who live in the Himalayas and take hikers up mountains. Don't know if it refers to their whole community of just the ones who work as guides.
