Blacksmith classes in Waltham: http://www.dailynewstribune.com/news/x858457539/All-fired-up

Electricity costs are going to increase .

I went bridesmaid dress shopping last night for the first time in forever (I was about 15 for my Aunt's wedding the last time I had to do this, dresses for my cousin's wedding were custom made and my Sister had an impromptu surprise wedding). Its always an interesting experience to go wedding dress shopping because I didn't have that experience for my own (everything was made by either a seamstress, Mom or myself). Its still up in the air, but its looking like this is the main contender in either clover green or cornflower blue . That last color keeps making me think of Fight Club. :)

It will be one hot and steamy dance class tonight! Costumes were passed out on Saturday. Maybe this year I'll be good about taking more pictures. Related, the salesperson that assisted us last night at David's Bridal went to the dance studio with me years ago! I'm in the center, Kerri (stripes) is to my right, and Andrea (our sales person) is to her right with the white belted shirt 80's pic, we may have been dancing to the main theme song from "Fame" if I remember correctly . I was trying to convince her to come back, though she'd have a bit of a long commute from Worcester each week for it.

Pretty! I think I like the green one better, but it usually depends upon your skin tone, which is obviously a bit different than the model's.

I knew those blacksmiths back when I was active with the SCA. :)

That's the same dress that we wore as bridesmaids in tobi's and network's wedding :) Just in fall colors. IIRC, even if the store doesn't have a certain color, you can order them in almost any of the colors they currently offer.

That's so funny that its the same dress! The style worked well both on the people with my build and the people that were very tiny and not as curvy (which was amazing) and looked complimentary to her dress. The colors on the website aren't so great (they are more bright and more blue than the actual colors). Some of the gals aren't in the Boston area, so they are going to try the dresses at a store in their own area and if they are cool with it we're ordering (3 of us in green, 2 of us in blue). The colors are complimentary to the clan tartan that the groom will be wearing in a kilt (not sure yet what the rest of the guys will be wearing). :)

Just got my DB dress for my brothers wedding in Augest. It's apple red. I really like the fightclub blue. So who's getting married?

I've seen those colors in person and really like the green....
