It doesn’t take much to get me into the holiday spirit. The first sign of red and green gets me smiling, even if it’s while strolling the aisles at Target in October. So, it came as no surprise that last night’s theatrical event threw me over the top, and into full-on yuletide zeal.
My best friend on earth (Whom I just happen to be dating. Did I forget to mention it before? Interesting. Maybe I’ll share the story some day.) is a private banker, and his firm bought out the seats for last night’s performance of “A Christmas Carol” by South Coast Repertory.
I’m no theater buff, but I can see how people get into seeing shows on a regular basis. It was oddly relaxing and thoroughly entertaining. You can kind-of lose yourself in the drama, and there’s an interactive quality that could be addicting, especially when you have great seats.
Not only was the show fantastic, but it was a hoot getting to wear a pretty new cocktail dress and spending the evening on the arm of a very dapper gentleman. Even the obligatory schmoozing with clients and co-workers was unusually tolerable. Last night was such a treat!

I’ve only seen one show (Phantom of the Opera) but man, I was so entranced. I didn’t want it to be over!

How awesome! I know what you mean. We’ve only been to a show like that at an actual “theater” once in Washington D.C. to see a show of folkloric dancers. We were in awe. We regret not taking time to go see more shows while we were stationed there.
OMG… Christmas time in Target is the best. I just want to buy everything off every aisle! LOL
Dating huh? You sneaky you! *hehe* (Keeping it a secret from us!) =P

I love going to the theater. Sounds like it was a fantastic night. And I agree, you DO need to do a post about your “best friend!”

Sadly, I don’t have any pictures of the event, but I did find examples of what I wore… Click thumbnails to view complete images.

Nice dress! Slick shoes! Weren’t you afraid the satin would be all creased after three hours in a theater seat, though? Hope you had a sexy evening coat to cover up the wrinkles (just kidding). Love the color of the dress, too. If I had decent legs I’d wear short things, but as I only have good ankles (the knees are not for public consumption) I go with the “Dior just post WW2″ skirt lengths.

Fortunately, it was a very stiff satin which hit slightly below my chubby knees. The pleats, inset waist, and crinoline underneath kept the whole thing from becoming too much of a mess… Then again, I did also bring a nice coat just in case!
