You're my favorite thing about the west coast

MandK9

I went to Toronto when I was 9 to see Beauty and the Beast.

I went to Windsor once when I was underage so I could do some drinking. I didn't like it.

I can see Windsor all the time though.  There's a street there with the same name as my hometown, so...

That's what I know about Canada.  And they make syrup, or something. And Biebers.

This one time, in Canada, my mom threw my purse with my license, debit card and studen id (maybe?) in it away while we were driving from Alaska to Arizona. No license, or debit card on a road trip!

MandK9

Roxy... oh no.  That's a very bad thing.  Why did she throw your purse away??

Well, it was a tiny little wristlet thing (didn't want the bulk) and I had it sitting on top of the mini fridge and it must've fallen inside the trash can that was below and my mom being her anal, neatfreak self just HAD TO take the trash out. Of course the dumpster was one of those bear safe kind you can't get into.

MandK9

Lol omg, that sounds like... an adventure.

I believe you and I have a wonderful kinship, because I understand you love dresses.  I think I own two pairs of pants.  I seriously never wear pants, except when I have to work, because it's not good to wear skirts at group homes.  But honestly, I own like 95% dresses.

My mom (a canadian none the less) dropped her keys into an elevator shaft/that space on the ground when you get in. She had to wait for the hotel to call the elevator man to come take it a part to get to them

My phone got sucked into a carnival ride once.  That was awesome.

Where do you buy dresses? I seem to remember that you're shaped like me and I can never find dresses that fit me properly. Stupid bosoms.

kimheartsscott

Stupid bosoms INDEED.

That's a definite kinship! I have 2 pairs of jeans I wear (one of which I do LOVE) and 1 pair of winter work pants. Dresses FTW. They're just easiest and they always make you look fancy.

nda_roxybabe

Oh yea, it had my jeep keys attached to it too. Thank goodness my dad had the spare! Mom's are silly.


Stupid bosoms! and lack thereof!

<div>Pumpkin chewed my Blackberry 2 days after I got it. It still works, but the camera takes blurry pics because she left a tooth mark in the lens. </div>

MandK9

Haha arwo, yes, the bosoms. Damn them.

It's completely hit or miss with me.  I can't order dresses online like everyone else, because there's a large chance it will look awful.  I can't believe how many are made with these tiny little areas for the boobs.  I look like a tramp in those, for real.  OR I have to get them large, and then they sorta just hang baggy around my waist and hips. 

My family owns clothing stores though, so I have a benefit from that.  My tip is to look for empire waists in large with a tie under the chest, so you can cinch it.  That's my best bet.

nda_roxybabe

Koda- No! No? Really?

kimheartsscott

JULEZ IS ON KNOT TV RIGHT NOW?!

nda_roxybabe

Denise- I'd be SO mad!

I have the oppisite problem with boobs in dresses. I can't wear any "triangle top" or deep v dresses because they gape open at my boobs since I don't fill them out. Dresses with darting always sit too low on my miniboobs and sleeveless dresses are too wide in the shoulders/ big in the boobs for me too.

nda_roxybabe

What Julez?!


and you still do knot tv?!

MandK9

Whoa, I don't know the last time I saw KnotTV. I linked my browser to the version without the TV bar like months ago, and I forgot it existed now.  But who is Julez? I feel like I'm missing out on so many levels.

Hey Roxy, have you ever read Keiko Lynn's blog? I love her outfits and she wears a lot of dresses/skirts, and her style always made me think of you.

Yea, I've gotten mad a Quincy for ruining things but never enough that I'd want to get rid of him!

Any- no! but I am now!

MandK9

I wish I had a butt. It's a pancake back there. Le sigh.

Any, I love Keiko Lynn! I tried to get the hairstylist to cut my bangs like hers. It didn't work out. But I so love her style.

The escalator thing has happened before, the dude fell and it began eating his shirt and it strangled him.  I can't remember if that guy died though.

I don't do knotTV, but I opened somebodies posts and it popped up for whatever reason, and Julez was staring back at me!

laska medved

Wow, super late on this one, but since there is going to be beer and wine on the west coast, I'll bring the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake! 

And MK9- is that what we're going with?- I feel you on the awkward dress fitting situation.

Andplusalso, Hi, I'm Laska. I live in So Cal and its fun to come out of lurkdom for a friendly we westcoaster times. 

nda_roxybabe

I may now have escalatorphobia. Probably not though because I am lazy.

[QUOTE]Hi my West Coast-ish buddies! I naturally have all sorts of Canada stories to share, but that's my life, so I'll talk about dressses instead. I'm totally on board both the dresses are easiest, and the big bosom trains. I'm also currently debating a BM dress purchase... I'm choosing between THIS (<--clicky) or THIS (<---clicky). Thoughts? Either one will be in eggplant.

Number one number one!!! Love the bow and it's so feminine in its cut

MandK9

Haha MK9 works for me, Laska. Nice to meet you!

Mrs.Jesse (you're my goodreads buddy! I get updates about you a lot, haha) I like the first one more.  I always think a slight sweetheart neckline is more flattering than straight.

MandK, Julez is the person whose wedding I WANT.  WANT SO HARD.
