Well, here it is: my New Years Eve outfit! Yeah, I know that was a few days ago, but I wanted to make sure this 2015 thing stuck before I jinxed it. Like maybe that Y2K thing got delayed for a decade and half. You can never be too careful. But I think we’re safe.

I went to a house party with about a zillion of Kristin’s theater friends. My outfit was a hit with the gays. Compliments included:

“This sweater is the most PERFECT thing happening in this room right now.”

“THIS [gestures up and down my body] …is EVERYTHING.”

A couple people were even keen enough to notice my sparkly ball ring. I tried to get people to watch it drop, but apparently it wasn’t as exciting as the real thing. Maybe I’ll try a bigger ring for 2016.

Does anyone else’s office subscribe to the concept of making people donate to charity in order to participate in a jeans day? I can’t decide exactly how I feel about it. Suffice it to say I’m skeptical. It seems silly to pay to wear jeans that you’ve already bought. On the other hand, giving money to charity is generally a good thing. On a third hand, convincing people to give money to charity by bribing them with the ability to wear their own clothing is…weird. And on a fourth hand, none of this really matters because if I don’t agree with the concept then I don’t have to wear jeans.

But I had really been wanting to wear this top again, I thought it would look good with jeans, and what better time of year to give $5 to a food bank? So I went against everything I believe in and gave money to charity. I swear it will never happen again.

And speaking of my generosity, don’t forget to enter the $50 Giveaway to Redbubble! The entry period ends Sunday night.
