Alas, it's here

Grey Gardens and Bobby! Hurrah.  and 5 days until the traveling Lion King Broadway show.  Could I be anymore excited?  Why yes, yes I could actually, but I think once I get out of my sulking state and embrace my (cheaper) semi- once in a lifetime chance then I will be! However, the question is, what to wear?  As I simply googled "what to wear to a broadway show", two eHow links showed up as the first results.  No, I will not trust some anonymous, straight male who takes time out of his life to tell others what to wear via a cheapie website.  The third result was a bit more credible, luckily.  From Glamour.com, this video shows a fun makeover of one of the tourists looking to go see a show.  As I read the comments on the website, the (I assume to be) women spoke about how they got dressed up tfor their shows and felt overdressed; another spoke from the stage's perspectives and said that the cast liked when the audience dressed up.  As I consulted my cousin, Mama O, on what she would wear, she replied to me, "Nothing too dressy but more than casual; perhaps a babydoll top?"  Hmm, perhaps a babydoll top, I thought to myself.   I don't own any babydoll tops, though I really should because my midsection is freakishly large.
And as I continue this blog post a day later, I still feel the same way and I'm ready to pick up my holds from the library already! Though berry picking on someone's tab is quite fantastic, it just doesn't seem to bring me the same amount of joy that shopping/dressing up does.  Well it really depends on the situation because berry picking in a flowy dress is nice to say the least.  Though my "frolic through a field of flowers" ideal frock hasn't been completed yet, this dress will have to suffice in the meantime.  But as for a show, what is dubbed as apropriado?  Should I wear this dress that I got on sale from Urban outfitters that hasn't had a chance to leave my closet yet or even be rid of its tag?  It's a thicker cotton (I'm too lazy to search up what the material is actually called) with a V in the  back that could be interchangeably be put to the front for a plunging neckline.  There's a high neckline if you're wearing it the correct way and shoulder pads with square silver studs on top, one little guy hanging loose but nothing that can't be fixed.  It has cropped 3/4 sleeves and there is a waistline where the skirted part begins which bounces up a bit.  I really need to learn some more technical lingo around here if I'm going to be a budding seamstress/clothing designer!  If only I could get that sewing machine fixed...Tomorrow   I love the thing to death, but it shows my bra bulge roll, which is why I must get a belt.  Though I have a perfect pair of "ferosh" heels, my feet are starting to dangerously outgrow them.  Though how often does a girl wear heels, right?  I can handle it though  really prefer not to.  But they're edgy, strappy, black patent, and have silver zippers going down the middle.  This means I must have a wide black belt, potentially patent, to go with it (aka 2 birds 1 stone-- hide the roll, cinch the waist, look good).  But I feel like the theatre is a place for more traditional dressy dressing, can the Lion King handle (especially on July 4th) a girl with studs and zippers?  Especially downtown?  The world may never even see Kimberly Q in that dress at the rate she's eating at.
Would you dress up for a show?
