Black Dress: Betcha five bucks I can take down the one on the left before he finishes his drink.
Green Dress: Decent or indecent proposal?
Black Dress: Indecent. You get better jewelry from the indecent ones.
Green Dress: You're on! Didn't you notice the dog collar? He's a priest.
Black Dress: Honey, that's what makes this fun.

Does Blue actually have a nice, big beauty mark on her face, or is that a speck of dust? Blacks necklace is so big, it looks like wadded up crepe paper thats been put around her neck.Beauty marks, gigantic jewelry…theyre MY kind of crowd! Shove over, girls.

Not only do dresses have secret lives, paper dolls do too. I knew it! The priest line put it over the top.

Nice! With the big red EASY on there and the huntress looks on their faces I wonder how many women made this pattern with a cocktail party fantasy on their minds?

Erin, you are a riot!But loooove the style of that black dress. So sexy, yet so elegant and polished. This is what designers of yore did so well — you could be totally covered up yet still a complete knock-out. You didnt have to show cleavage or acres of skin to be sexy. Nowadays, subtlety has been lost.
