The Importance of Accessories ....

CI Roller Dude wrote a post a while ago on the importance of coordinating your accessories with your outfit ... and it took a while, but I found this picture from a conservation group's fund-raising banquet I helped with a year or so ago:





(and yes, there are days my face actually looks like that ...
don't make the Crow angry ...
you won't like me when I'm angry)

I started cutting out this dress about 2 hours before I had to leave for the banquet, so the fit leaves a little bit to be desired in this photo. I have since fixed it. For some reason, when I got there, they decided I would be the logical one to sell the raffle tickets for the New England Firearms 20 guage I am holding in the photo ....

Now I don't know what sold the tickets better, the fact that the gun matched my outfit so well, or the fact that yes, that is leg you are seeing below the butt of the gun in the photo ... I may have made the slit a little higher than I needed to. Of course, it might just be my winning personality that makes me such a good sales person :-) . I did manage to sell all the tickets fairly quickly.

I have worn this dress to a few banquets since, and I also have a skirt made in a similar pattern. Which leads the next question:

Why is it that the only place men every say "I LOVE what you are wearing! Where did you get that dress?" is at hunting banquets, and in gay bars?

    Dang good way to compliment any sporting firearm. I'm at a loss for words...it brought a tear to my eye.

    And you are left handed. Who would have known? You sound so normal.

    Do you shoot alot or just go to those places to add a bit of beauty?

    CoffeyPot, a really good shooter can use either hand...so if you have to hold a cup of coffee or donut you can still shoot.

    LOL - Yes, I shoot left handed, or more correctly I am left eye dominant. I trap shoot, I occasionally skeet shoot, and when I get the chance I go "turkey hiking", "deer hiking", and "rabbit hiking". I have also been know to occasionaly go "turkey napping" in mid-afternoon. I tried bow hunting for the first time this fall - killed a lot of targets practicing, but never got a shot at a deer.

    Oh, and I tired the one handed thing with a Beretta 9 mm last spring - I didn't do too bad, actually.

    I kinda wish you had a pan in one hand and a rifle in the other.
