Yep! Playa del Carmen, just south of Cancun. I'll be singing for Opera Maya for the first couple weeks of June. I get to sing one of my arias with orchestra for FOUR different gala concerts. Do you realize what that means?Well sure, it means an awesome experience. I'll learn so much. And it'll be super fun. But do you realize what else this means?
DRESSES.
Yes! The dresses! Oh, the dresses. One of my greatest joys in life. If I could wear ball gowns every day, I totally would. I joke about it all the time- wearing my gowns to the grocery store, walking the dog. But in all seriousness, I see it as the ultimate feminist movement: being amazing at what I do, and wearing gorgeous gowns to set it off. What man can do that?
Given the fact that I have no money right now, and am about to spend more money I don't have on this program, I'll obviously be digging through my closet and maybe hitting Nordstrom Rack. But just for now, I figured I might as well draft up a list of front runners for if I did find some money. A sort of fantasy dress league, if you will.
So here we go:
First up, a little nod to my destination! Aidan Mattox. Can't you picture it? A warm night in the Caribbean; I'll have a little glow from all the sunshine...
Next up, another Aidan Mattox. A little more traditional than I usually go for, but something about this one is just so elegant!
Just gorgeous. There is something so sexy about how natural this is- the color, the flow of it. BCBG:
Now, since this is indeed fantasy, we may as well go all the way. I've lusted after this dress ever since the final episode of Sex and the City. Here we are, Carrie's Versace mille-feuille gown (mille-feuille is a layered pastry). Rumor is this dress retailed at $79,000. But who's counting anymore. Can you imagine how amazing it would be to be completely surrounded by thousands of layers?! I love it.
Anyway, this is round one. There are a couple more I was going to post, but I'm sleepy and these decisions (fantasy or not) cannot be taken lightly
Let me know what you think! Feel free to add some suggestions as well! And while we're talking, tell me what your fantasy league would be... we've all got something. ;-)
