The girl I left behind me...

Someone posted a few new pictures of the Regency Exhbition Ball!


That's just an oversized thumbnail; click for the full image.

Couple of things:

• That dress looks lovely in that photo! Way better than I thought it did.
  
• I actually really like that you can't see faces. Ours, anyway.
  
• Either I'm shorter than I think I am, or Mike is taller than I think he is. Or maybe both.
  
• I'm smaller than I think I am, too. I felt like a steamboat in that dress, but I don't look that big. Yay! :)
  

Since it seems that it falls to me to do event coordination and summaries:



( We went to another Regency ball last night! )

After the dance, we went back to Mike's parents' house and spent the night, where Gwendolyn and I shared one of the nicer beds I've ever slept in. And his parents woke up early with us and made us breakfast and were overwhelmingly nice. We drove back early, to get Gwendolyn to work, Mike & I shopped around at Field's a little, and then he took me home, where I promptly fell asleep for four hours to try and beat a little of that sleep debt from Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

Keep an eye on lachwen for another update on the event. Also, I'll be putting up a page on KatieJacobs.com for the new dress shortly!

This is my progress so far. I have the bodice lining staring at me accusingly from the arm of my chair as I speak, so I should probably get on that.



( And....go! )

ETA: O hai! I suppose I should ought to mention sometime that I actually have an official website now. I mean, like, with my own domain. I'm at www.katiejacobs.com. And there's actually content! And it doesn't look as nice if you don't use Firefox, so beware.

Gwendolyn (lachwen), Mike, Andrew, Tyler, Julie, and I (with some of Julie's friends) went to a Regency(ish) ball in Ann Arbor. I think we were probably the most "period," but it looked like everyone had a good time, so it didn't really matter. I only took one video because I was dancing most of the rest of the time, but I took a lot of stills. However, I'm not posting those here until I have a chance to clean them up a bit. There's a lot of red-eye issues due to the low light, so I'll crop some down and Photobucket them later. Right now, I'm going to bed.

It was great! :)

P.S. If anyone knows the name of that song, tell me. Tyler and I were trying to think of it all weekend and didn't come up with anything.
