Right next door to my office is a designer store. I look at the clothes as I walk by, and sometimes think they're cute, but most of the time they just seem a little misguided to me. Today there was a new dress on one of the mannequins, and I am not kidding you when I say that it looks like someone got a big piece of black cloth, sewed two ends together, and put in two pieces of elastic (one at the top and one at the waist). It looked like Marge Simpson's dress, only ugly.
Then I stopped and really looked at it, and realized it was just like my Show Choir dress from high school, only without the straps and gold sparkles, and not of polyester. I won huge trophies for Show Choir. Why is there not a Show Choir for grown-ups? I would totally join. Irving Berlin medleys, jazz hands, cheesy arrangements of songs that were popular two years ago--it would be like being on the Lawrence Welk Show, but IRL.
Yay -- comments working again! Show choir for adults -- I'm so there (as an observer only -- definitely not a participant) -- I love the cheesy medleys, jazz hands, etc!

I think there is one of these at the 92nd Street Y. My friend Lucy belonged to it a while ago.
