Choosing an Object

Maddie has asked us all to bring in an object to Thursday's session. Something that we are unable to throw, or give away.

I had been unable to decide what my object would be even though I have plenty of objects to choose from my many treasures and artifacts. But nothing that I can think of that I have considered giving away. But when I woke up this morning, I knew exactly what I would take.

I have a sparkly evening dress that I have never had the occasion to wear. I bought it at Camden Market in 1989; over the years, there have been countless times when I have "almost" given it away. But I have never been able to part with it. Now I no longer think about giving it away because it has become for me, an "art" object. I love the dress and I wish I could wear it, but apart from never having had the right occasion to wear it, I don't think I would ever have the confidence to wear it. It's a dress that to me, has the look of the "femme fatale." It is elegantly cut, tight fitting, and needs someone tall and perfectly shaped to wear it. I feel that I can only dream of wearing it.

This is the dress
