Fashionable Friday: What to Wear When You Meet Matthew Morrison

Brian, this one's for you.

Tomorrow night, I'm performing at the Human Rights Campaign Gala. Myself and a few other cast members from Hair are singing a medley just before dinner service begins. Matthew Morrison is the keynote speaker - that means he'll be in the audience, watching me belt G's. 

I don't know what to wear!

It has to be a formal, black dress. I have too many options! Which one should I choose?

(NOTE: I was not wearing make-up when these photos were taken, so I've covered my face.)

Black cocktail dresses

I adore this dress. I bought it in high school from the late, great Psycho Sisters. There's still a PS in Little Five Point, but back then there was also one in Lilburn near my parents' house. My mom and I used to go there about once a month, and we'd get lost in racks and racks of vintage clothing. The only problem is that this dress isn't fully black - it's hard to tell in the photos, but there's quite a bit of burgundy in the lace. Since we need to wear all black, I don't think this really fits the bill.

This one is black and sparkly, but it makes me feel like a sack of potatoes. People tell me that it's cute, but I have a hard time believing them. I don't want to feel self-conscious when I'm licking Matt Morrison's face.

Well, this ain't a sack, I'll tell you that. Unfortunately, I think it's also too silvery.

This one is probably my favorite. It's definitely all-black, it fits well, and it has a cutout (in a strategic location).

It's a black-tie event! This wouldn't be out of place!

What do you think? I need votes!

  1. Number 4! Also, I think you should have pasted VEB's face over your makeup-less-ness. He's look smashing in any of these!

  2. Number 4,,,,duhhhhh......punctuationnnnnnn....!!!!!! And i'll be honest: you were totally spud-like in dress 2. I wanted to give you a belt to show off that hourglass, girl. We love no make-up galens! If Jennifer Lawrence can do it, so can you!!!

    1. RIGHT?? I've kept that dress because I love the neckline, and it looks great belted...except for that bubble hem. ARGH, I hate the bubble hem! I think I'm going to let it out so it can just be a regular old dress. Bubble hems are the worst.
