Semi-formal. Which means a good dress and nice shoes, which I do not have.

I realize that I probably do not actually need to ask this, since Jubilee has never yet turned anyone down for shopping, ever - but..

Can someone go with me to find a dress? One that doesn't make me look twelve?

I can't help but think that asking for help finding a dress with those specifications, in this crowd, might be a little.. um.. dangerous. But I may just be being paranoid. I would offer, but.. not the best eye for dresses in the world, and I'm sure you're aiming for someone of the female persuasion to lend you a hand.

Thankfully, I got a ton of new suits during the recent shopping excursion to New York, so I'm set on that front. So long as nobody expects me to dance, I'll be right as rain.

While I am not sure I would trust Jubilee if I just handed her money and sent her on a trip, I think that I will be safe enough if I am there to veto scary choices.

*grins* How well you know me.

When do you want to go, and where? We'd probably need to convince someone to drive us too.

Massive shopping trip to take the kids shopping. Now that sounds like an interesting challenge.,.

Ooh. I just had an Idea too. Heh heh heh!

Meep.

I don't have anything appropriate either, but I'm thinking perhaps I just shouldn't go.

Why?

You should go!

It will be fun, and you'll get to see Jamie and Doug and Jono perform!

Come shopping with us. We could get you a dress that looked good and isn't ... too scary.

Rahne,

Come with us. It'll be fun and I promise we'll find you something really nice.

Besides, it's the mall! I so have to show everyone this new store I found with all these wicked cool novelty items in it.

Jubilee? You find one of those every time we go to the mall.

I am sure, we could spin you around and make you dizzy and you could still find Corndog-on-a-Stick.

What IS a Corndog anyway?

Ms Frost?

While we are out, I think that Manuel would appriciate it if someone got him something to wear that was not grey sweatpants and t-shirts.

He seemed a little distressed about them this morning.

.. of course, he also seemed distressed about the oatmeal, the applesauce, the Gatorade and just about everything else, although I can not be totally sure, since I do not speak Spanish, and my Latin needs improvement. Doug had stepped away to eat, so I could not get an accurate translation.

It's a hot dog wrapped in cornbread. On a stick. :)

OOh. Shopping. When where and how?

Much as I'm not sure shopping with Jubilee is a good idea, can I go too? I need a suit...

I think Alex wants to tag along, as well.

I'm thinking that sort of dress is usually expensive, and meant to... well, to show off, at least some. And I don't really know about Jubilee's taste, but I've seen the kind of suggestions Ms. Blaire and Ms. Frost make, and I think they wouldn't suit me very well.

Though not being "too scary" would sound good. ;)

Well... I suppose it could be fun... but I'm not sure if I'll really want to get anything.

That sounds about right, but I'm fairly sure I'm not picking up more than you are.... I like Latin, but I'd not thought it was going to end up being conversational!

I think Manuel is just generally distressed. I can't think what would have been wrong with the applesauce or oatmeal, but I suppose waking up that way would be upsetting and I can't imagine he's feeling altogether better yet. I still don't understand why he'd be projecting apathy instead of what he's feeling if he's upset, though.

You didn't mention the shock when I came to look in as a wolf for a minute. (Dr. McCoy, if you read this: I had not been running around outside, and was clean, but I washed my hands before I came back since my paws had been on the floor.)

Trust us

Maybe, but will it be something I should get?

I resemble that remark.

Okay, so maybe I do. But! I found something you'll really like that last time I was there too. But not telling you what it is, gotta see it, ya see? *evil grin*

Dude,

It's gonna be a party, so you have to have a party dress. We won't make you get anything you'd be uncomfortable with. Promise. :)

Did I mention that at state fairs sometimes they deep-fry them?

And if you want disgusting, imagine deep-fried Snickers bars. They have those at state fairs too.

We can find a sale, and showing off does not necessarily mean showing skin.

Christmas sales! If I can find 85% off Horrible Sheets, than I can find inexpensive dresses that are pretty but not risque.
