founders' feast, or, attention: girls with good racks

so i've found, the past two or three parties i've gone to, that the way to deal with hanger loops is this:  get a safety pin.  pin the loops to each other underneath your breasts.  this both a) keeps them out of your way and b) acts as a sort of makeshift underwire thingie, keeping the boobies elevated.

i swear by this method.  unfortunately, it does nothing for the fact that the shoulder straps of the dress are still too big for my shoulders, and keep falling down.  i may have to take them up before i wear this dress again.

also:  good intentions (and only £5 worth of after-dinner drinks money) foiled by distinguished fellows who insist on keeping on buying the next round.  must get up in ... oh, a shortish time in order to be at a rehearsal half an hour away in eight hours.  bah.
