voluptuous women in little feathered hats

September 17, 2004

Today I went to the fitting for the vintage lingerie fashion show I’m doing in Williamsburg next Saturday.

I have two outfits, one with a waist cincher and fishnets, and one with a sort of Cabaret-style feathered leotard with matching hat. Tres fabulous, all around.

When I was being fitted in this last outfit, the store owner told me to “eat as much as possible!” before the show next week.

This, of course, is just the opposite of typical fashion show preparations. We’re wearing lots of ’40s and ’50s items, so it makes sense. But it’s certainly true that you can’t please everyone at once.

In this case, I can please myself with some bread pudding and a bucket of fried chicken.
