I hope I didn’t come off as rude, I think it’s a gorgeous dress and it’s cool the women planned to dress similarly. I just feel the pressure of black tie 🙂 Do you feel comfortable with decorative clips or hairpins in your hair? Your husband will be blown away. ---

[QUOTE=Lynne\_kilii] Oh, I need that dress. But I need the gastric first (for coldwater at least)! ] [/QUOTE] Hi, **Lynne** , if you’re considering gastric bypass, I’d be happy to share my experiences. There are several of us GBS folks on the board. I know they’d jump in, too, with advice and stories. We can start a separate thread if you’re interested. Just to give you the nutshell version: - I felt no pain - I had no complications - I’ve gone from size 26 to a size 10-12 since May 2006 - my cholesteral and BP were high but now they’re normal. - I seldom feel hunger any more - and I’m still losing! ---

I’m picturing that hairstyle and color with that dress and it sounds beautiful! I’d go with pearls too. Is something like this too much for a shoe, or do you prefer closed toe? It just looks sort of festive Hope this link works [http://www.shoemall.com/catalog/product.jsp?style=127070&typeId=686&Nao=12&default=true&Ns=assets\_avail\_date|1&N=25+96+4294966843&subCategoryId=585&categoryId=584](http://www.shoemall.com/catalog/product.jsp?style=127070&typeId=686&Nao=12&default=true&Ns=assets_avail_date%7C1&N=25+96+4294966843&subCategoryId=585&categoryId=584) ---

What about these for shoes?
