Me and Fillyjonk both have a date New Year's Eve

Fillyjonk and I? Oh well..

It is just not possible for me to sit still and listen to Fillyjonk brag about her engagement bliss and read all the engagement stories accompanying her bragging, without doing some bragging of my own. After all I am still a newlywed and enjoying wedded bliss with my own big hunk of manliness! Aren't we cute? And for anyone who wants to know, here are the details of how we met.

In the above picture, I'm wearing the Lane Bryant black velvet dress seen in the sidebar. Usually, I would tell a full figured woman that an empire waist is a complete no-no. Tight right under the boobs and then a lot of fabric falling in a full sweep away from the body does not accentuate but rather makes you look like you are wearing a Muumuu on the set of Maude, but something about this dress works, at least for me. Perhaps because the under-boob gather is wide, perhaps because it's not too full -- whatever the reason it works and I thinks it looks fabby! It skims my hips perfectly and while I do think it shows a bit too much decolletage for the office party, it was just right for the fancy fundraiser we attended last night.

So tell me ladies, what are your holiday plans?
