A Long Story About "The Shirt"!

The traveling Intercourse PA shirt arrived here on Friday, delivered personally by the previous winner, Leslie (of Leslie and Halas).

When it came to taking a photo of the The Shirt, I tried really hard to take all of your suggestions into consideration. Suggestions like "I can't wait to see you rock the shirt", "I want to see you top Joanne's photo", and of course, some ideas about accessorizing. So I put a lot of thought into trying to do justice to The Shirt. You know me, I don't do anything half-way!

First, I tried on The Shirt, hoping for inspiration and to see what I had to work with. It was quite a sobering experience. The Shirt is very large and very unflattering.

Next, I proceeded to gather together an array of accessories which might add some allure. At Yappy Hour Friday night, stillettos were suggested. So, stillettos. Also red fishnet stockings, a feather boa, a chain belt, and long dangling rhinestone earrings.
The results were somehow less than glamorous.

Shaken, less confident, and frankly exhausted, (but still determined), I looked again at The Shirt, hoping that it might guide me in the type of accessories that would show it off to its best advantage. And sure enough, inspiration finally came!
I know I've set an impossibly high bar for the next recipient, but I hope that my willingness to totally humiliate myself publicly like this will inspire all of you to keep the laughs coming.

The next Snap Caption & Post photo will be coming right up. But first, JD and I need to take a little nap.

PS: Don't worry...the shirt will be washed before I pass it on!

BTW, is there a guarantee that if you don't enter this contest you can't win. Now if only I can resist.

First, the photoshoot was totally awesome. I loved the fishnets (I used to have black ones but I think I threw them away) and the heels....I admire ANYONE...male or female...who can walk in them. If I ever got that shirt (and believe you me, the ODDS of mean ever being anyway near as witty, on purpose, as many people here, are slim to none), I know I could never do justice to it the way you did!

You'd look great in The Shirt, Dori!

As for the shoes, who said anything about walking in them, lol? The last time I had those shoes on my feet, I was still in my 40s!

Karen, I never want to win this contest, because I can never top your pictures. I don't know if anyone can :) I laughed out loud and appreciate the time and effort you made to make this so much fun. What amazes me most is you had all those accessories.....we learn something new everyday on DK.

You will really appreciate it when I tell you that I dragged a step-stool out to the garage to get down the Halloween Costume storage bin!

I really do need to get a life!
