anam_moonIt's an entertaining game, one best played when the Dragon has had or will be having sugar. Dragon emailed me on Tuesday night to ask if I would be interested in joining her for a clothing shopping outing on Wednesday. I figured the amusement factor possible from this was pretty high so I agreed. Besides, I needed to find pants to wear for climbing in and out of a P-51 cockpit.
Wandered about with Dragon....suggesting ludicrous things for her to try on because my target audience (that being me) found it amusing. Hehehee...I got her to try on this one outfit. She did it just for the amusement factor/humoring me. It was a rather puffy striped skirt and a green sweater. Words fail me.
I bought pants! I haven't worn a pair of pants (aside from leggings for working out in) in....uh...eight years or more. It was really weird seeing myself in the mirror wearing pants. My parents found it strange when I tried them on for them too. The "Who are you and what have you done with our daughter?" sort of weird.
Left mall after loading ourselves up with sugar delivered into our system by a Green Tea Frappuccino. Mmmm. Looked for fabric, took a peek in Aaron Brothers (Ah...art supplies, I love art supplies) and then went to Treasure Island Comic Book store! Comics! Woohoo! I picked up the most recent trade paper compilation of "Powers" and bought a Sin City book for James. As I told Dragon, this way I get points for being a good girlfriend and I get to read it too. ^_^
Edited to add= Karen bought a skirt! The Force will remain in Balance after me buying a pair of pants. I was very amused suggesting every ruffly, fluffy skirt as something she should try on, but I think I was able to make some actual good suggestions. She had set out wanting to find another skirt, but this mission was made harder by her wanting something in a solid color. Most everything is in patterns these days, or so it seems to me. We found a denim skirt for her that I thought would be casual enough for her that she wouldn't feel too uncomfortable in it. Besides, it had pockets, a definite skirt plus!

This is true.
