OK....Stepford Wife...

I have one of those, what I call a 50/60's picnic dress. Its strapless and flares a little (with crenoline lining), its about knee length. I figured I would get a cardigan to go with it since I will be doing it for work. Blonde wig and red lipstick.

What do you think?

God that remake confused the hell out of me. Were the clones, or robots or what?

I think robots. That was the first movie in a long time that I actually laughed out loud at in the theater.

Fun idea, Tina!

If I was going as a Stepford Wive, I'd dress like Katie Holmes. ;)
