Third Time is a Charm (and Death)!

So, first it was black and white, then blue, and finally, gold. Yes, I am referring to my dress for this little thing (a.k.a. BALL) I have in the beginning of May. This was such an odyssey, and it hurts me that I have none of my girl-friends here to share/live/cry with. Everyone knows how guys are, they could care less, so I don't even begin to tell the boy about it. He would not understand and then presume that I am a superficial American for putting too much emphasis on something that really does not matter.

But the truth of the matter is that it DOES matter. If dress code was not entailed to the word BALL, then there would be no worries about what to or what not to wear. And even though men vote not 'to care', men were the ones who invented these restrictions and compliances for an event's wardrobe in order to differentiate between social classes and elites. However, through time shifts and changes have occurred, and now dress code has become more of a set tradition that helps to install a common denominator amongst the masses.


So, the dress....I think the final color was inspired by a little quarrel I had with Renke. I always state that the German flag's colors are black, red and yellow. But, being a proud german Renke corrects me and states that the color is not yellow, it is GOLD.



Now, that really does not seem like the color gold to me, but as it was PROUDLY shown to me, the colors of the flag are in the German constitution and it states gold, not yellow. I may be incorrect technically, but if you would cover the red and black from the picture above, and ask anyone what color is the remaining color, they would surely answer yellow. I am saying, if you are going as far as to put it in your constitution then actually do IT! Deutschland, do not be all talk and no action.
And in consequence of this brawl, I decided to actually show what a true gold should look like.

You can see pictures later of my dress...
