It's funny to me that I'm starting this post when I don't even have suitable After picture yet. I need to hang the potato sack back up on the hanger and take a pic. I'm sure as people arise from the severe-partying-coma over the next few days that I'll see some pictures of me IN the costume, possibly innebriated. If I find one I approve of, I'll post it.
So for now, please be satisfied with a description of the alterations, and a couple of semi-relevant pictures.
I widened the neckline and it kept falling off my shoulders. So to compensate, I put a couple of tiny pleats in the front, and I really should've ironed them so they actually
looked like pleats. I took it in about 5 inches on each side and still it was too big. I put slits up each side, which served well for showing off my choice of undies for the evening.
This is a picture which should give more detail as to my costume of choice. It is, naturally, Cleopatra. This is before I danced my brains out and got sweaty-hot and my hair curled. Oh, and it's before my make-up smudged all over my eyes. I looked pretty harsh this morning, I must say!
This is a picture of the delicious Black Forest cake I made for the party. From scratch. With Kirsch liqueur and everything. It was tasty!!

great costume! and great cake. Those are my favorite--only from scratch, of course. But I haven't made one since my awakening, so I've never tried kirsch. I'll have to get around to that.
Cleopatra wore undies? :)
The pics are great. I look forward to more!
My alcohol tolerance is back up. Six Cosmopolitans last night and barely broke the "buzzed" phase. No dancing. It was a mellow costume party :) No one's robe ended up over their head or on the floor.
Hey cutie. I'm trying, but I can't remember seeing any undies on you last night.
Plus, I'm really bummed because I didn't get a chance to taste your cake! I think you should post the picture of your face in close proximity to my "girls" I believe it was taken with Michelle's camera. She emailed it to me today, and all I'm sayin' is you need to see it!
Yeah, I know....but I still had to look.
So Laura, is it okay with you if I post some pictures on cherry?
There's a place in France where the ladies wear no pants. There's a hole in the wall where the boys can see it all.
**Clarification**
I (Cleopatra) had on MINIMAL underwear, which I gladly showed off, even when stone-cold sober. I just liked my bum, alright??
Great photo, La, and also the cake looks yummy. Now I'm hungry. And it's only 9am.
Tasty tasty.
The cake was pretty good as well.
I am dealing with a MASSIVE hangover as well! I vaguely remember leaving the bar...enough said! My friend the DD for the night was a gem and I owe her bigtime!
