Yep, I agree.  I feel like I've wandered into a cocktail party full of 
people in little black dresses and diamonds, chatting about world events, 
and I'm just in a from a baseball game with my kids, all dirty and 
blue-jeany and wanting to talk about colic.

I want to huddle in the "just-turned-thirty-but-denying-it" corner, where I 
can
converse with other people who are wondering just how in the world they
managed to end up with jobs, houses, minivans, spouses, and *kids*, when 
they
are clearly irresponsible and way too young for these kinds of things.

This one's lavender too...I've never had my colors done, and have no clue 
what looks
good on me, but I know for a fact that lavender makes me look like I've been 
pulled out of
a river three days too late.  But, we do these things for our friends, not 
for us.  I think it was
Dave Barry that theorized that the function of a bridesmaid's dress is to 
make the bridemaids so
truly hideous that the bride looks great by comparison.

I had to wear an awful "plantation" style one once.  It was mauve, with 
beige lace everywhere,
and it had a huge bow in the back and two large SHOULDER BOWS!  Ah, the 
'80's! Of course
we had the requisite huge hair to go with it.


I put my own

I put mine in teal green, but I'm with you.  I wish I had just said, show up 
and look nice.  However,
the pictures do look really good with everyone matching.  :)
