I want a Bandage!

I confess, I am in love with Herve Leger bandage dresses.  Unless your living in a fashion-less cave, (po thang) you’ve seen one of these little numbers.  Because as you know, “anyone who is anyone” in Hollywood has worn Herve’s bandage.  And that’s not why I love them.  I love them because they are frickin beautiful.  And because they come in every color, every color combo, short, long, haltered, strapless & crossed.  Oh my.

The first time I knew I had to have a bandage dress was when I saw Lindsay’s multi-colored number.  Haute!  If your in suspense as to how this blog will end, no, I didn’t get one –or even a Perve Bledger replica.

Anyway, every time I think they are going out, more celebs keep showing up with yet a new variation of bandage...

Another confession?  In the back of my mind, I, well, I, well, I felt that I was a little to big for a bandage dress –that is, on the one-in-one-millionth shot I could ever find one for a reasonable price on ebay or something.

It seems like my womanly parts are a little to big & my hips & my rolly belly, etc.  After all, who looks like Micha (see right) in a bandage dress unless of course you are a size 0 like Micha?  Well, I am sad to say that I thought this way, because Mo’Nique went ahead & proved me so wrong!

Mo’Nique wore a bandage dress to the 2009 NAACP Image Awards last week… (sorry couldn’t find a bigger pic)

 The famously happy-to-be-plus-size actress/comedienne sported her red version proudly.

I share this with you, not only because I love her look, but because it seemed like such a nice gentle reminder for all of us to be who we are, and wear what we want to wear & to try to be a lot less worried about who thinks we are too big or too little or to light or to dark or whatever.

I’ve been considering a nose ring for over 1.5 yrs!  Mostly, I’m worried about what others will think.  What do you think?  Should I go for it? I may never get Herve, but I could get a little tiny fake diamond stud in my sniffer.

drool…
