I sincerely hope you didn’t mean my bodice. I had nothing tucked in there - it was all in my cleavage.

How come all the pictures have me wearing that pink boa that wasn’t mine to begin with? I know someone, if not more then one, got me with my bone posing as well.

No Ginger, not _your_ bodice – I had to search **Seige** as part of the Truth or Dare game.

**Edward** , I’m sure I have one of you with **Opal** instead of with the boa.

Yep, that’s me. For the record, that wasn’t a good idea. Because of all the scrubbing that I had to do to get it right (or at least what I thought was right), I managed to rub my forehead kinda raw. The ink stopped burning after a while, and I did manage to clean it all off by this morning. That’s good.

What’s bad is that my forehead looks like a war zone. There are little scabs all over, and where there aren’t scabs, the skin is peeling. No one at work has said anything yet, but I know that they’re just dying to ask. All I’m going to tell them is that it was a hell of a party.

It was hard enough avoiding temptation in Truth or Dare with Opal playing!

I may just make the entire thing ToD next time!

I am hoping to get JC’s pics tonight and Scuba\_Ben is mailing me a CD of his hopefully tomorrow. MORE PICS PEOPLE! There were a LOT of cameras there…

_waits impatiently_

(I just had a scary thought… did anyone take a picture of me in my underwear???)

If you think that’s bad, don’t even consider how they got into your underwear.

I think I did, but it would have been on your camera.

Next time I’m bringing my own damn camera as we had cuties taking off their fishnet stockings and doing the cat walk all sexy and stuff.

My photos are on the way! I have some really great ones…I was sitting directly across from **OpalCat** during the tru/dare game, so I got all the good shots! 😉 I am going to attempt to get them online tonight after work…I will post when they’re ready!

What an awesome party! When are we going to do it again???

I learned a very valuable lesson-tap shoes are not comfortable for long periods of time.

Next year, I’m wearing slippers.

Scary answer: yes! I got one where you can definetly see a peek of the orange undies 😉 You should be seeing it tonight as soon as I can get out of this damn office!

Ok here’s who I am: I was the one in the black and pink can-can girl (or Moulin Rouge) costume, with the pink feather boa.

**nyctea** did you send them to me? (I hope?)  
I’m going to put an album for each person’s photos in the gallery (in addition to whatever people put up on their own sites… I just like having a central repository of dopefest pics!)

**Edward\_the\_Head** - nope, nothing of me in my undies on my camera.

Oh Opal, I didn’t send them to you yet, but will as soon as I get home this evening (like 9-ish). I have a ton, and a slow internet connection, but by-god I will send them post haste! Can you e-mail me the address you want me to send them? Thanks! [brookeln@earthlink.net](mailto:brookeln@earthlink.net)

Well thanks for the use of the Boa, it made my runway work much better. 😃

You could do what I did and go barefoot 😃 Bare feet was actually part of my costume–well, toe rings and so on, too, but still. I took my shoes off when we got to the driveway.

I am currently uploading one remaining movie btw… of **Edward\_the\_Head** wearing **Moi** ’s witch hat and dancing around. It will be in the gallery in about 3 minutes, give or take ;D
