Let's get right to it, bbs. Cause I know you're dying to know what ridiculous dress concoction I pulled together after winning the travelling dress raffle and eager to find out who the next winner is.
I opted to create my own signature wrap. SuziQ and I experimented with several styles, but ultimately it was one that I tied on a fluke that was most....flattering (?).
The best part of this experience was the opportunity to accessorize uniquely. K recently bought me a bull pin for my birthday which I incorporated into the dress.
Creative, no? Whatever.
The girls and I had planned to check out a new brunch venue. The catch? It was a drag queen brunch, much like the one they host on Sunday's at Perry's in AdMo. We were very excited for the new drag lunch location, and I figured a ridiculous outfit, such as the wrap dress with all it's colorful patterns and glory, would be the perfect thing.
SuziQ was the first to see me in the dress since I met her for the walk over to brunch. She thought it was flattering and un-preggo looking which, if you remember from my earlier post, was difficult to avoid. Win. She also thought the bull pin was a great addition to the dress.
We met Athanasty and Buntz at brunch. They both had similar reactions to SuziQ: surprised that I was able to pull of an un-preggo look and impressed with my use of accessories. I was hoping to get more feedback from the strangers dining at brunch, but the drag queens outfits attracted way more attention than mine (naturally). Regardless, this dress was a fun one to wear for all the pictures we took. See, if you didn't know this about my friends and me-- Drag Queens Love Us!!
No, seriously. Just look at SuziQ playing bff with all the queens.
I nearly died when Lady GaGa's song "Poker Face" came on and a DQ walked out to sing. AHHHmazing!
So fierce.
Brunch was not only wildly entertaining but also delicious. My brie and spinach omlette was top notch. And bottomless mimosas for less than $12 is a hot bargain. So hot, in fact, that I am not going to reveal the location of this brunch cause I wanna keep the scene intimate as I plan to go there once a week. There were less than 30 patrons in the establishment, which meant prime attention by the DQs and food service.
Sorry, loves.
Now on to the raffling. With the help of T-Rex (my dinosuar pinata- yea, I have one, so what?) I selected a name from all the commenters on Fridays post. And the winner is.....drumroll......

This of course begs the question, "were ninnies popping free?"
Snay- thankfully, no. Amen for safety pins.
I want a dinosaur pinata! That is so cute (and uber helpful, it seems).
You looked great - I love the bull pin addition.
I was right! You pulled it off with your usual rock star flair!
PLT- Rex is way helpful in the dress-raffling department. Otherwise he pretty much takes us space. Glad you liked the look!
KtMac- You know you gotta bring it when you're going to hang with DQs.
Fierce is the ONLY word for it... dayum.
LiLu- what you have been extra fierce? if you won the dress next and fashioned it with war paint.
You aren't kidding about most looks looking super prego. You rocked it well. And duh, I love the bull pin!
Sign me up for the next DQ brunch!
Love the personal touch with the pin! That would have never crossed my mind unless I was in need of something to hold it up.
Thanks, Miss. It served a double purpose of fashion and function that day. Double score.
You look fabulous per usual... Sorry I couldn't make it to brunch. Hopefully I will feel better soon!
Chiara- Thanks girl. You'll have to check this place out. We plan to go again!
It was nice of you to take pictures of Phyllis Diller for us...
You rocked the crap out of that wrap dealie.
peterdewolf- Thank you, sir.
