Because it will be in the throes of winter and because it will be expected for women to go long at such a formal DC event, I have decided that this Givenchy couture floor-sweeping black gown will be my dress of choice at Dick Cheney's 2008 Inaugural Ball.
It's black, it's fitted, it's elegant and it passes my most important fashion litmus test: its neckline serves as its primary accessory.
I would, however, have Alecia from Imperial Cleaners (DC's best tailor) craft a pair of prim cap-sleeves to make the silhouette more age-appropriate and a little less reminiscent of Cinderella's wicked stepmother. I don't de-flab my arms with 60 girl pushups a day not to show them off.
Now, that the dress situation is out of the way, we just have to focus on winning that election...

Hmmm...I trust your (and Cate's) judgment, but I'm not crazy about this dress. I think it's just that I don't like the long sleeves, though.
And for the record, by commenting on this post, I am in no way supporting Cheney for President in '08.
Too late, I just ordered you a campaign muscle-tee!
I added the second picture to show you - and everyone else - just how dramatic this dress is. I think it's stunning. Yeah, the top sorta looks like the outline of jigsaw puzzle piece, but you know what, better that than a boring ol' scoopneck or worse, a straight-edged strapless look.
Unlike Cate, I think I'll pull my hair back in a chignon like the woman modeling the Nanette Lepore "Sheer Blouse" in a previous "If I had a sugar daddy" installment -- better to show off the up-top goods for when Dicky C. comes around to thank me for all my fundraising help :-)
I'm begging you to stop with the Cheney thing. PLEASE. The image is just ... PLEASE.
