Shopping for Vegas
In about eight weeks, we’ll be headed to Las Vegas for a wild weekend of regressing to our college days our friend Dave’s wedding.
Dave’s the goof in the middle:
In preparation, we were watching the Travel Channel and saw a program on vacationing in Las Vegas. It covered topics on where to stay, what do do, myths, truths, etc.
Everyone looked like they were losing their shirts having a good time.
The narrator pointed out that eye-popping skank-wear certain attire is required to even think about entering the nightclubs. As I pointed the remote and clicked OFF, I thought, “Egads. I haven’t a thing to wear.”
A Vegas wardrobe is not really part of the work at home mom daily attire. Not even my shoes are Vegas-friendly. Shopping for Vegas starts here.
I’ve been informally polling gambling fiends Vegas regulars at Gamblers Anonymous meetings networking events and informal gatherings to gauge just how serious the wardrobe crisis at hand might be, and it seems it is serious indeed.
I’m going to need a dress or two, some barely legal tops and some high-heeled, yet comfortable shoes.
Nothing says Vegas, baby! like sequins, eh? I’m not sure this is really “me” — not even “Vegas Mj” — but it’s got style coming and going.
Paging Twiggy.
What is this for? A Laugh-In revival? I think, no.
The jumpsuit.
I can have a drink with you, roll some dice, and then fix your car.
What year is this, anyway?
This is a bit too Charlie’s Angels for moi.
Ah, well. It won’t matter much what I’m wearing if I’ve got on a pair of Jimmy Choo’s.
Hey, Oprah? Can I get a pair of shoes?

If all else fails on the wardrobe front just raise your arms above your head and yell the Girls Gone Wild “WOO!” a lot during your stay. It seemed like all the girls did it the last we were out there. You’ll totally blend in.

You know…
You could pull that second retro dress off.
Er, that came out wrong. Uhm, I mean to say, “You could make that second dress work, given your body type.” Not many women could, but I think you could, if you were feeling adventurous.

I found out the hard way — in a long black dress, that nobody dresses up in Vegas anymore. So don’t worry about sequins. Wear what you would to Disney World!
