…it would be a life where I had a body and a social life where it made sense for me to own the gorgeous black and silver cocktail dress I saw in a shop window the other night. (Black sheath, spaghetti straps, with elaborate silver beading in an art-deco pattern. swoon)
…and I would be draped in a faaaabulous tapestry jacket that would actually accentuate my waistline rather than make me look like an overstuffed sausage casing.
The boootiful stilleto heels that matched that dress would make me look tall and fetching, rather than painfully retching.
And my hair would have beautiful style… rather than a bad attitude.
Man…I was convinced this thread was going to take off like a bat out of hell. Go figure.
At least it’s higher than my cat hack thread… :dubious:
Yeah, I thought it had possibilities. Oh well.
(BTW, if I had a completely different life, I’d probably buy the dress to wear while playing piano in some jazz club.)
(While my rich lover waited at a cozy corner table for me to be done my last set.)
At least it’s higher than my cat hack thread… :dubious:
Around here, that should have been up for an award or something.
If I were living a completely different life, I’d wear my tapestry jacket to a dance club and trip the light fantastic with my husband (who constantly needs to be reminded, “Move your feet!” when we’re on the dance floor. I swear, he looks like one of those “knock-it-down-it-pops-back-up” toys. Glued to the fucking floor.
Lucky me! I just recently acquired all of the above. I lost 60 pounds in the past year (got the body), have a boyfriend who is in the Air Force who is having a fancy holiday party for which I needed a dress, and just bought a lovely black silk satin cocktail dress, with spaghetti straps and a gorgeous silver pattern embroidered all over. (This dress, except that mine is black with silver embroidery, not green/gold:

That’s gorgeous, nyctea. I’m sure you’re going to look fabulous!
Ooooooooooh! I love that dress! I’ll be you in my next fantasy.
I second the tripping the light fantastic with a hot man who can salsa or swing dance. sigh In clothes that look great and aren’t covered in cat hair.
… I’d be a contented father of several, if not many.
Thanks so much, Kalhoun and DeadlyAccurate It has been YEARS since I could even think about wearing something like that, or having something to go to to wear something like that.
…I would have been born into great wealth. I’m not overly fond of working for a living and I’m sure I’d be a way better heiress than Paris Hilton. 
Way to go, nyctea scandiaca!!
…I would be a famous director, having made his fame also by co-writing several epic films, and the phone has just wrung - It’s George Lucas, and he wants me to direct the third Star Wars Trilogy. I suppose i’ll have to get back to him - I don’t have anything lined up after working on Harry Potter 11.
I would actually have proper womanly curves, instead of the potato-on-a-skewer figure I do have.
You know, that’s all I really want to be different. Ye gods, I think I may actually be happy.
If I had a completely different life, I, uh… wouldn’t be me.
