Who wore it best?

I have never been a big reader of magazines like "People" or "US Weekly" or "Star." I consider them the literary equivalent of junk food- they sound fun before you read them but they leave you less than satisfied and even a little bit sick when done. But I have been stuck in a hair dryer at the salon with nothing else to pass the time, but those silly magazines. So I have indulged once or twice. I have noticed that one of them has a feature called "Who wore it best?" They have pictures of two or three celebrities who are wearing the same thing to different events, then they have a poll asking about who wore it best. So this is my own version of that. A few years ago for Halloween Eric and I dressed up as Napoleon Dynamite and Deb. I bought a beautiful, vintage pink, shimmery dress circa 1986 that I wore. I even had my hair pulled to the side in what my 7 year old refers to as a "Deb-do." And as thrilling as that night was, I found another occasion to wear it. For a girls' night out, we thought it would be fun to dress up ugly and got laser-tagging. THE dress was the obvious choice.This picture doesn't highlight the dress the best- I'm not sure what I was doing, some sort of German curtsy?!? And I don't know why it is so small? But it was better than the alternate picture of me in this dress that was taken that same night. I was doing a Marilyn Monroe impression and instead of coming off as sexy and sultry, it was just silly and a little bit sickening. So this picture will have to do.
Now I am not the only one who has worn this dress. Julie wore it as well this year when she and Trent dressed up as Napoleon and Deb for Halloween.

And finally, my sister-in-law, Jessica wore it recently for a YW 80s skate night- btw-that's another great Girls' Night Out idea!

So after perusing all this eye- candy, I need you to tell me "Who wore it best?" Now to be fair, Julie was 4 months pregnant when she wore the dress, but she also is the photographer of my nasty Marilyn Monroe picture and she has not been shy about posting it on Facebook so I feel no remorse whatsoever for including her in this poll- even if she is pregnant. My personal pick is Jessica. She kicked it up a notch with her saucy, hot pink high heels.

And for you final viewing pleasure here is a picture of me seriously wearing a very similarly styled dress back in 1988. My mom made it for me and I am not ashamed to say I LOVED IT- big bow in the back and all. (The pink one also has a big bow on the butt too but it didn't make it into any of the pictures.) This was taken at a Youth conference before the big dance. My cousin, Chandra, is with me. Don't we look hot! Jared Fish eat your heart out!:) Jared was my obsession when I was 14!

Well, tune in next time for "Whose behind is the best?"
