I want, just once, to wear...

"I want, just once, to wear a bright red, strapless ball gown with no apologies. I want to be shocking, and vivid and wear a dress as intensely amazing as the person I so want to be.

"Some things look real but are not. And other things may appear to be of no consequence at all but are, in fact, invaluable." -The Longest Journey
