Does anyone else remember gurl.com? I remember it was one of 3 websites I frequented back when we first got the internet at home, that slow dial up AOL internet that took forever to connect at 3 in the afternoon because thats when everyone was getting home from school and just had to get on to vote for their favorite video on TRL (RIP! TRL, you were fun for about 3 years). Anyway, I wondered over to gurl this morning and its changed a bit but ultimately still the same. Except now they have this thing called Design a Gown which is awesome because I fancy myself a clothing designer (just ask BART I almost wore one of my own creations to bowling this week but she stopped me) but I can't draw to save my life. So here are some of my beautiful designs. I was inspired by Lauren Conrad and hundreds before her to give them names.

TOI

This was inspired by the new Victoria Angel Holiday commercial that premiered lat night during their fashion show. Toi and I fell in love with the skirts and vowed to get our own to wear to Christmas Eve mass. Also, our conversation last night was monumental and we've decided to make a book comprised of our many ramblings. Look for it in stores September '09!

POMME

I remember Pomme trying on a dress sorta similar to this and not ever wanting to take it off. She was extremely happy in it and that made me really happy. I think she might have worn it for graduation if our robes would have fit over it. And that would have been awesome.

BART

On our way to work, BART and I walk right pass this dress store and they always have 3 dresses on display. We play this game in which we pick which dress we would pick. Its awesome just one of the many reasons I love my neighborhood. Anyway, this is my interpretation of the MOST BEAUTIFUL DRESS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD that was in the window a few weeks ago. Only it was red and had more of a mermaid bottom and the top was different but gurl failed me horribly with their choices and I already had a red dress.

FRANCES

Frances inspired this dress. She can wear short dresses like no one else I know. She's got those kind of legs I dream of: skinny, long, goes on for days. And then she wears those high heels and she's even taller like she should try out for ANTM, like we should fill out an application and send it in for her and then secretly drive her to the try out. Tyra would love it! 

MMM

One of the very first entries I read on MMM's blog was about her salsa dancing in France. I thought three things: 1) DAMN she can salsa dance?!?! AWESOME 2) How can I get her to be my friend? 3) I FLOVE her blog. So this is a dress you could wear salsa dancing in the South of France.

AUSSIE

This dress reminds me of a ballerina and it reminds me of you. I can't exactly pinpoint why. I think this dress would be extremely fun to wear, to swish around in. Maybe it reminds me of sugarplum fairies. Ballerinas are regal and classic and those words make me think Aussie.
