What are you wearing to the August 2010 Hinkys?

channeld · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 3:29 pm

Lovely dress, Caitlin! I like the bow accent. And the jewelry is lovely, too!

88keys · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 4:28 pm

Shaine- love that (and I swear I've seen it before...)

Adrian- very elegant!

Caitlin- I was considering that same dress! I LOVE it!

Pam- http://www.thefrock.com/midcentury_page1_main.html The third dress from the top. I know you like prints. (For the record, I like the one you picked better).

Miley Cyrus' dress at one award was inspired by the 1949 Dior Junon gown that I'm thinking of wearing, Keys. I think that's where I also saw it, and I was immediately like, "I WANT that!"

What about you? What are you wearing?

Cool dress, Caitlin! :yes:

I love the color! :flirtysmile:

Adrian, yours is stunning. Very beautiful and classy. :smitten:

Very pretty, Shaine...but I've always wondered with these strapless styles...how in the world does the weight of the skirt not just pull the whole dress right off you?

It's made of net silk, so it's supposed to be lightweight. I don't know, though. It has a lot of sequence and beads, so it would weigh it down, at least a smidgen.

I need that tape, Adrian.

channeld · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 4:46 pm

Keys - Oh, yes. I love that one. I love so many dresses there! I still love prints, but I think my fried brain was looking for something in a cool rather than warm color this time.

musicnotes093 · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 4:50 pm

Oh, I see what you're wearing.

I overlooked the link.

That's lovely, too! :flirtysmile:

Cool prints! :yes:

WriterKos · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 10:29 pm

guys, forgive my ignorance, but you actually get together to the hinky awards? :huh:

Enthusiastic Fish · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 10:32 pm

Kos, we have an extended chat room session where we present the awards and people "attend" in that respect. So we pretend to buy stuff for the awards. Believe me, I would never wear the dress I picked.

For one thing, I think it cost over $4000. It's a lot of fun, if generally quite long.

88keys · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 10:58 pm

I've narrowed it down to, oh, 8 or 9 gowns. :blush:

Smack- I figured you would pick this one. http://www.thefrock.com/FW_page7_main.html The fourth dress down, with the stripes.

Why am I hearing Rachel Zoe in my head as I look at these? "I.....die."

channeld · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 11:00 pm

I like that striped dress! I was considering that one. :heartsthree:

Ahhhh, when will it be? May I come?

Enthusiastic Fish · **Posted:** Sun Jul 11, 2010 11:47 pm

Everyone is welcome to come. The dates haven't been set yet, but it will be in August sometime. Just watch the announcements. You can even go to the [url=hinky.nfacommunity.com]Hinky site[/url] and nominate stories if you want to. The nominations are going on right now and then the voting will start in the next week or so.

Very nice! :nice:

dreamnz · **Posted:** Mon Jul 12, 2010 6:14 pm

Pat - The silver dress is just stunning! I love the back to that. I'm with everyone else with the second pair of shoes... and the necklace goes perfectly with it all!

akaeve · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 8:47 am

Thank you all, that is settled then, I just need to get a good pic of the earrings I picked up for a couple of quid.

sondheimmcgeek · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 10:19 am

So many lovely outfits!

akaeve · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 10:53 am

been through all the dresses again, Shaine's I would have liked but prob get red wine down, Pams, the blue, gorgeous, couldn't have Carolyns red, the salmon off the shoulder for colleen, lovely, sherry's gold stripe smashing, and caitlin the purple /amathest just perfect. I'm begining to think I'll look like mermaid.

Oh can we bring a "friend"

Andi · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:19 am

Pat, I love your silver outfit and the accessories are wonderful.

I found a site for "funky formal wear" and I thought, what the heck? (If I were a few sizes smaller and a bit braver...)

Shoes

Necklace

Enthusiastic Fish · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:41 am

I love that necklace, Andi!

channeld · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 11:43 am

Very nice, Andi! Lovely ensemble!

akaeve · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 12:35 pm

Andi, I love the shoes, but the dress, red wine stain, oh , white and me just do not go.

Gossamer Moonglow · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 1:06 pm

Pat, I think you'll be wonderful whatever you choose, but I'd prefer the first drees with second pair of shoes (surprise, susprise).

Andi very nice! I have no idea how the two of you will walk on those shoes though...

musicnotes093 · **Posted:** Fri Jul 16, 2010 9:27 am

Cool necklace and shoes, Andi! :yes:

akaeve · **Posted:** Fri Jul 16, 2010 10:01 am

That's the great thing about the Hinky Awards. Everything just magically fits and looks awesome, no matter what size you are or what size the dress is. :yes:

mysslyss · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:19 am

Carolyn: GORGEOUS! That dress is so beautiful.

Teri: Very elegant. The draping is very different.

Colleen: It all works together so well! I especially love the butterfly hair ornament.

Pam: I would definitely spring for that second shoe

. Love the dress and the detail on the front!

Shaine: That is Fabulous!

Adrian: Absolutely gorgeous and the armband is the perfect accessory for it!

Caitlin: That dress is so pretty! And I love the dolphin earrings!

Pat: I ADORE the silver dress and the second pair of black shoes (though the cream ones are really cool). The necklace is also beautiful.

Andi: That dress is really pretty! And I love the way the necklace is. It’s very different and REALLY cool!

And now for my dress and shoes and such: I too went to thefrock.com (which is an awesome site!).

Enthusiastic Fish · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 10:33 am

Lovely, Lyss!

Andi · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 11:00 am

That is a beautiful dress!

channeld · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 12:01 pm

Gorgeous, Lyss! The deep blue and gold are a combination that I love, and your ensemble looks elegant!

akaeve · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 1:25 pm

Lyss, I love that blue, and the gold, very Greek or Roman, Venitian I think.

Ziva_Kate_Abby · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:54 pm

That's so pretty, Lyss!!

sondheimmcgeek · **Posted:** Tue Jul 20, 2010 8:49 pm

Lovely, Lyss! I have that one saved somewhere for a future Hinkys

Miss_Barbara · **Posted:** Wed Jul 21, 2010 3:04 pm

Wow, those are some gorgeous dresses, shoes and jewelry.

dreamnz · **Posted:** Wed Jul 21, 2010 5:53 pm

I love the 'texture' of your dress, Lyss!

mysslyss · **Posted:** Wed Jul 21, 2010 9:22 pm

Thanks for all the compliments! I like the texture too Adrian...it's almost lacy in a way. Colleen, you can certainly borrow the dress for a future Hinkys...but I'll be borrowing that wonderful butterfly.

sondheimmcgeek · **Posted:** Thu Jul 22, 2010 12:15 am

Of course! We all share here

Gossamer Moonglow · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 3:24 pm

Lyss, very “imperatorial” like …beautiful.

I found some dresses that I like more than this one, but I think I’ll settle here for now.

Arm bracelet, right above the elbow (never wore any, but I always wanted to)

Shoes that I would wear if I could walk on them

Shoes that I can walk on

channeld · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 3:27 pm

That's very pretty, Anastasia!

Enthusiastic Fish · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 3:31 pm

Lovely!

sondheimmcgeek · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 4:46 pm

Gorgeous!

dreamnz · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 5:30 pm

I love the shade of the dress and the embrodery and/or beading on the halter part! :smitten:

mysslyss · **Posted:** Sat Jul 24, 2010 7:52 pm

Magnificent!

Ziva_Kate_Abby · **Posted:** Sun Jul 25, 2010 8:42 am

So pretty, Anastasia!!
