What Miss Money Bags Wore
Regular readers may have noticed that I don’t seem to be able to keep up with my Friday feature–I Gots The Wants. It’s not that I don’t want things, I do. Always. Somehow, though, my day slips away before I can post the wants. (And by slip away, I mean that I’m walking dogs and then before you know it, it’s time to start thinking about the evening backyard grilling menu and what kinds of cocktails to serve that night.)
I was trawling eBay late last night and stumbled onto this wacky 50s dress. I think I am falling prey to the evil influences of fashion rags because I have finally come around to the big bow at the neck (known to some as the pussy bow, but personally, I think that term sounds like an insult to the wearer. “Holly, you’re such a pussy! Why do you have to wear that big bow?!”)
This dress–now this is a killer thing, isn’t it? It’s all buttoned down (or should I say, bowed-up) and lady like and then you see the print. MONEY BAGS! Have you ever seen such a wondrous thing? Do you like it?
Once again…not my size. I think it would be awesome if I could just get a sound effect for my computer that I can turn on when I trawl the internet for vintage. When I have that sound effect on, I can open an auction or online store listing for a great dress that’s not my size and then my computer would just bleat out, “Wah. Wah. Waaah.” (You know, the sound of losing on a game show.)
If you have a 28″ waist (okay, actually 26″) and you want to wear a cartoon colorful pussy bow dress with money bags on it, you should bid. It’s being offered right now on eBay by love_kats. You might have to break the bank to win the auction (which ends in about four days) but something tells me this dress is worth every penny. The photos are clickable links that will take you straight to the auction.
Hey, peeps. Where would you wear a dress like this? Please leave your ideas in the comments section. I think it would be awesome to wear this dress if you were a loan officer at a major bank. Or, if you planned to rob said bank. They probably wouldn’t even notice your face if you were wearing this stand-out, so I guess we can easily say, “mask–optional.”
