My plan was to wait for the right moment and tell me that underneath my long black sexy sundress was - absolutely nothing. The dinner began with the waiter preparing the ceasar salad at our table. As we watched over glasses of wine, he mixed the various ingrediants and then accidentally knocked over the pepper grinder...which hit my water glass...which poured into my lap. Talk about ice cold! But I was afraid to move as I wasn't sure how the fabric reacted to water. Was it now translucent? Fortunately, it was a dark, dark restaurant. I managed to hold my head high as I scurried for the woman's room and a roaring blow dryer.Donna MacMeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10310857800824141312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-43621247719407830392007-09-02T12:07:00.000-04:002007-09-02T12:07:00.000-04:00authorness, I had one of those dressing room event...authorness, I had one of those dressing room events too. I was trying on a formal to wear to National in New York, it was near closing time, and this dress didn't have a zipper. It was just a slip on. I got it on, but then I totally panicked when I couldn't get it off. After much freaking out at the idea that the dress would have to be cut off me and contorting, I finally got it off and nearly ran from the store.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-41160329173457276042007-09-02T12:04:00.000-04:002007-09-02T12:04:00.000-04:00Keira, thanks!

That is a novel-worthy event! kirsten, I am actually a retired opera singer. I say that, but I always manage to get roped into singing at least one and most years two concerts a year. I sang coloratura soprano roles, which for the most part consisted of witches (the Queen of the Night from Mozart's Die Zauberflote) bitches (Lulu from Alban Berg's opera of the same name) and dingbats (Gilda from Rigoletto and Zerlina from Don Giovanni)I sang all over Europe and had a ball doing it.

Finally I had to admit defeat and ask the saleswoman to come in and help. She claimed this kind of thing happens all the time but I'm not so sure.

Every time I had to deal with a disgruntled bakery customer I just thought about commando ladies and doctors getting tagged with breast milk and I just smiled me head off! Thank you all! I cannot remember any wardrobe malfunctions in real life, but I had several onstage during some of the operas I performed. LULU, by Alban Berg was a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen! I played the title role and she was a bisexual hooker. Most of my costumes were skimpy lingerie and prone to body parts popping out at the WORST times! And when it happens in Germany in March it is a chilling experience! Of course I also had to sing Zerlina to a really gorgeous baritone's Don Giovanni and his tights split in a very strategic place! Gave new meaning to the words "let it all hang out!" Even better? I had to hold "things" in backstage while the dresser sewed him back into his tights!dogladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392561174583932552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-76798733924257197892007-09-01T20:54:00.000-04:002007-09-01T20:54:00.000-04:00Back from a trip to the city (undies intact *grin*...Back from a trip to the city (undies intact *grin*).

A few years back I worked for the Federal Government. I was in the executive offices, where the bigwigs worked and all the superiors came for meetings. Anyway, I was wearing a really cute pair of navy blue pants and a gorgeous new red sweater. I thought I looked pretty great that day. Until my boss (one of the bigwigs) looked down at my shoes and said "Why are you wearing one blue shoe and one green shoe?" See I found a style of shoes I really liked and bought it in a couple colors -- two of which were navy blue and a real dark green. Guess I didn't pay too close attention to the shoes when I pulled them out of the closet. So for the entire day I walked around with those different colored shoes.Buffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320253744501589352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-22698582430463424692007-09-01T15:37:00.000-04:002007-09-01T15:37:00.000-04:00OMG, I can't stop laughing at these comments!!

I did show up at the gym once and realized I was wearing my husband's underwear. That took some explaining....<BR/><BR/>Anyway...thanks, Kirsten.

Right VA?!?!<BR/><BR/>My oh my! Aunty is astonished at all the undie mishaps! My embarrassing story is not quite so risque, but no less embarrassing. This was back in the day when Aunty had to shuffle from meeting-to-meeting as a bureaucratic drone.<BR/><BR/>It was a very hot summer day (like today) so I was not wearing a jacket, just a white silk blouse and a dark skirt. My bff and I went to lunch at a new burger place everyone was raving about. I ordered a mushroom burger, which was GREAT except it had some WHOLE mushroom squished between the meat and bun and in the course of my meal, one of them popped out and proceeded to slide it's sauce and ketchup covered way right down the front of my white silk blouse. It then took a LEAP off my boob and careened down my right sleeve from elbow to cuff. <BR/><BR/>So there I was covered in brown and red smears all over the front of my blouse and right sleeve with a BIG MEETING with numerous department mucky-mucks and legal types in 15 MINUTES! My bff was laffing her arse off, and also did not have a jacket to loan me. So I went into the bathroom and washed off as much as I could, but attended the meeting with very interesting and colorful blotches all over my blouse front and sleeve. <BR/><BR/>NOBODY said A WORD! Maybe it was something in my face?<BR/>ACLoucinda McGary aka Aunty Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02217492654108300014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-22194023188493976512007-09-01T13:58:00.000-04:002007-09-01T13:58:00.000-04:00Oh, Kirsten-- Yes I have a story for you.

Anyway, I had peeing down to a science: flip up skirt, snag leg holes of panties with thumbs, yank down, do my business, yank back up. Imagine my surprise when, on my dozenth or so pee of the morning, I snagged the panties & yanked & only the bottom half of the panties came down. Yes, they were particularly raggedy (laundry crisis) but never did I imagine that I'd end up standing in the bathroom of my work place wearing only the waist band of my unders. Huh. So I tossed the whole thing & went commando. I felt very...free...all day. Probably could've run out & bought a fresh pair, but I ended up kinda liking it. Not that I ever did it again. :-) <BR/><BR/>Susan S. -- '06 packer who lurks like mad but always reads you banditas b/c you make me laughSusan Seyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033511012283092945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-51283053430144987412007-09-01T13:34:00.000-04:002007-09-01T13:34:00.000-04:00No black under white, eh?
