dorothy's dress

dress - self made (former skirt from flea market)

when i bought this skirt

i actually planned to wear it as a skirt

..

and then i never did..

it was a bit larger 

and a lot longer than it should be

and i was too damn lazy to do something about it

..

then one day it struck me:

i'm going to turn it into a dress!

i'm going to make it be my dorothy dress!

..

i know what you're thinking:

dorothy's dress is blue not red!

well, i have a solution for that:

my ruby slippers are blue!

so.. it's more of 'reverse dorothy's dress'

than the real one

..

and where are those blue slippers, you ask?

on my feet..

 i forgot to take a photo of them

blame it on heat

and those handsome cherries that distracted me

..

maxi dress - made by oonaballoona

i have a sister

 from another mister..

her name is oona,

of the clan balloona

she is fabulous and colorful

and ridiculously talented..

she makes me laugh

and she makes me think

she picks me up with limo

and share my love for booze

..

and she somehow

knows my body better then i do

so she made me a dress

that fits like a glove 

just to let me know

how it should be done
