Because let's not forget that I am a [expletive] princess.
A handful of times a year, I have the excuse to go all black tie and bling.
Saturday's JDRF gala was a perfect excuse.
It was their 25th gala, and July will mark my 35th "diaversary" -- a somewhat funny term for acknowledging that I've been diabetic for 35 years, and all that that involves. They had all of the type 1s come up on stage/center the stage during the Fund a Cure part of Saturday's gala. The MC called us brave.
I don't know that I'm brave, but I'm certainly a princess. And I love black tie affairs.
But, I do appreciate that nothing hammers home "Cinderella was a princess" like walking back to my car in the rain, on streets under construction, with my dress hiked up to my knees so that I wouldn't get it wet.
And even my toes are pretty.
