mandie_rw: me 1950s green dress (anitapallenberg)
Looking at all the days I've posted on the LJ calendar thingie...I need to shut up!

Like that's going to happen. LAWLZ.

I'm going to put together a post on What I Learned About 60s Fashion From My Thesis, since [livejournal.com profile] cutothechase encouraged me slightly, and I ran with it. Never encourage me to talk about the things I'm obsessed with; I won't shut up! Clearly. Meant to do that this weekend, but I actually had more to do than I thought I did, so it didn't get done. (Challenge: use the verb "to do" four times in one sentence.) Will sometime soon. Write the post, not use "do" four times in one sentence...cuz I clearly just did dat.

I went to the docent training today at Camden County Historical Society. The four of us hopefuls were given a tour of the mansion, basically to show us what we'd be doing, and make sure we still want to volunteer. I still do. :) Then we scheduled a one-on-one meeting with the museum director...I guess to see if we'll be a Proper Fit for a Not-Crazy Tour Guide or some such. (Also, I wrote on my application form that I like to play dress up. No, really.) I'd never been to Pomona Hall before, and I don't know that much about specifically local history. *shame* But it's a lovely mansion -- it was made into a mansion in 1788, but the smaller house was built in 1726 (SO A 1770 DRESS IS TOTALLY APPROPRIATE) -- and they do a good job keeping it up. So we'll see what happens with that. (Will absolutely need mitts to wear with my cranberry dress if I'm a tour guide, though -- that house is chilly!)

And after that I visited with my best friends from high school, and we carved jack-o-lanterns (mine's sitting in my window now), chatted, and ate vast amounts of food. It was delightful.
