Drabble #13

12/18/2006

Last night was terrible. Instead of reclining languidly on a chaise, cigarette (in holder) in one hand, scotch-rocks on the other, she was hopping up all night. She got people drinks. She took coats. She even hugged people. I am not a dress for hugging—it breaks the beads. I used to belong to her sister, who had people she paid to do that kind of thing. Catch her mixing her own drinks! I suppose it’s my fault, for going out of style ... I thought I was a classic, until I wasn’t anymore. So now there’s hugging. And cheese logs.

That dress should just wait 'till it goes to the consignment shop, and some girl like me takes it home to wear as a *nightgown*.

Love the drabbles, AND cheese logs (Amy Sedaris would be so proud). Love beading, and hugging; what's a girl (or dress) to do? Try to embrace impermanence, I guess...

I kinda like this dress -- but then, I love a little cheese.
