I am a fancy lady
Posted under Being RSG, Everyday ramble by Recovering Straight Girl
And I go to fancy Galas (pronounced Gay-La,) to which I was invited by some fancy people who do fancy things. LeLo came as my guest and she was beau-ti-ful. She has the photos of us together so you’ll have to visit her to see them when she posts them. The Gala was a fund raiser for Portland Center Stage and a lot of fancy people bid a lot of fancy money on some very fancy things.
LeLo and I watched–which was almost as fun as bidding (but not quite.) Alas, I had forgotten my Amex Black card and could not bid.
There was a lovely cocktail reception and a lovely dinner (Sea Bass) with lovely Oregon wines from Argyle, yum. There was great dinner conversation with smart and interesting people. After the auction and entertainment there was dessert and coffee. And then we were Gala’d out so we left.
Here’s a rundown on the stats of the evening:
Dress: $14.99 from Ross
Shoes: Free. (Borrowed from BFF Neighbor Judy, The Crying Jew)
Hair: $138.00 (including tip)
My Date: The Lovely LeLo (HG would have rather had dental work done than attend this event with me.)
Conversation, Scenery, People and Dress Watching: Priceless
It was a fun time and a great experience and I highly recommend gala-ing anytime you can.
Next Up: Queer Blogger get together tonight! Whatever shall I wear??
You look FABULOUS!! However, I would have been staying home with HG and watching re-runs of 3’s Company–galas are not my cup of tea. Glad you had a great time, though!

You are a fancy lady and your hair look like it’s worth more than the $138.
I’m having my own Argyle-fest tonight. Not as much fun as a gala, I’m sure, but still very good.
Is this the part where we get to tell you how nicely you cleaned up after your butchscepades from last week?
You look great and it’s even better because you had a good time, too!
You’re a bit of alright.
You look beautimous.
You do clean up quite nicely, lady. Glad you had fun. I’m enjoying everyone else’s lives vicariously at this point, it is quite the thrill.

138 bucks for hair??? Holy…!!!
You’re an actress, right?
You look gooooooood.
Yes, fabulous.
I LOVE Ross! Such great deals.
You look very fancy
Can’t believe HG let you out of her sight looking that good!! (Guess I’m fully “recovered”…. I do NOT wear heels unless they’re on boots, no stockings, no dresses since I retired and decided to be fully gay!!! I look nice when I want to, but no fancy dressing anymore.) Glad you got to do it since it made you happy. Looking good, girls!
Wow, you clean up real nice.
Ok, you look great. Really.
But did the $138 include a happy ending? That’s like a year’s worth of men-cuts.
Gorgeous!!! Amazed that the hair cost more than the dress.
No matter what you wear to your queer blogger get together I’m sure you’ll look just beautiful.
Very nice indeed!
I’m with HG, though, having produced galas for several years I’m pretty much a stay-at-home-and-send-a-check sort of activist.
You look really lovely. I love the trim on the dress.
You look STUNNING. You hottie ass.
You look superb! I have not had a reason to get all dolled up in quite a while! I just may have to think one up!!!!
Right on!!
You sexy thang.
