And can I just mention how dratted *expensive* those crinolines are? As in, $80 or more each - ugh. I love the look of wearing two of those really silky ones and having the skirt stick out so far it's nearly horizontal. Even better if the fabric is shiny or holographic or glittery - I'm a magpie. It's my nod to being girly. The ONLY nod I have to being girly.

My best look is probably more authentic to me, though - a Native American getup. Silk handpainted blouse, turquoise jewelry, cowboy boots. Got me a lot of "looks" from the old dudes and dudettes at dances. Heh.
