Last Friday I sang in a benefit concert that R organized. Six women (5 singers and our VERY gifted accompanist), so R had all of us wear black dresses. I had a great little vintage number, which I took to the run-through to get some opinions on which jewelry to wear with it. Unfortunately, the zipper broke when I went to put it on. I mean really broke - a few zipper teeth broke off. Vintage, remember, and this was obviously the original zipper. Yike! I ran out and made an emergency purchase of a back-up LBD, in case the local dry cleaner's tailor couldn't replace the zipper in time. Fortunately, the tailor came through for me (and replaced the silver zipper with a black one - even better!) so I could wear my smashing little vintage number. Good thing, as my Plan B dress was the very same one R was wearing!
We had fun singing, the program had a good variety, and the audience seemed to enjoy it. I was even sounded out afterward by someone prospecting for potential Ms. Senior (neighboring state) contestants! I had a good chuckle over that - I NEVER considered entering a beauty contest!!! The Chief thinks I should consider looking into our state's program once I hit 60 (the minimum eligible age).
