Snake-print Dress

Black wrap sweater, Bloch. Snake-print halter dress, Charlotte Russe. Dark jeans, Express. Yellow pumps Victoria Spenser. Red bag, Target. Black hoop earrings, Wet Seal.

This dress has such history! I bought it in early 1999 to wear out dancing in Phoenix. It was on steady rotation through my club wear until I went into the military that fall, and then it was retired to a storage bin. I’m glad I hung on to it because it was perfect on stage, playing Jessica Hahn in The Gospel According to Tammy Faye last June. On Saturday night, I went to see one of my Gospel castmates in The Fully Monty, along with two other Gospel-ites, so it was only appropriate to resurrect the dress once again, but I toned down the trashiness with jeans and a sweater. On Sunday, I washed it and hung the dress in the back of the closet, where it awaits its next great role.
