Dress: Stop Staring
1930s cape: ebay
Vintage leather gloves: Ray’s Ragtime
Shoes: Aldo
Hat: The Indra Original Millinery

I was looking forward more to what I was going to wear, over performing at a 900 seat venue for NYE.  Yes!  Finally!  An opportunity to wear that dress that’s been hanging in my closet, still wrapped in plastic, a result of an impulse buy on some drunken night on the internet.  So yes, I was stoked.   Even went so far as to ask The Indra, to wear one of her amazing hats for the occasion.  Unfortunately I woke up on Dec 31st with a little sore throat… I knew what was coming.   Before I went on stage to do my set, my nose was already running.  During the finale of the show, some of my runny nose even dripped right on my dress!  And at the after party at the Punch Line, I was full-on sneezing and blowing my nose.   But, hey, at least I looked good!

Happy New Year, everyone!

    Haha, I loved the video. Especially the end. Very cool.
    Also, you look amazing. And remind me a little of my friend, Bec, who is also a comedian.

    Sublimely beautiful outfit! I tend to refrain from using the word “fierce” when it comes to describing fashion, but I really do think this look is powerfully amazing!

    Wishing you a splendid Friday & weekend ahead,
    ♥ Jessica
