Church: The Feast
Not only was church a spiritual feast today, but a visual feast as well. This won't be a long post seeing as how I need to go to work very, very soon. Just a little list to share the wonders of my ward.
1. Scarlett (nickname) - The chick who wears giant Gone with the Wind hats every sunday. Todays hat was black BUT WAIT! Pair the hat with a black, silk, floor length skirt with a train. A train! Then add on top of the that - She never wears shoes - ever. She wanders around church barefoot - it's disgusting, she is crazy, but very nice.
2. Snuggie (nickname)- I'm pretty sure this would have worn a snuggie (the blanket with sleeves) if she owned one. She was wrapped in a bright blue blanket. She was trying to wear it as a shawl. It was a giant blanket.
3. Tagua (actual name) - She is very sweet and nice, but an interesting dresser every Sunday. I have no doubt that she is interesting every day of the week. Today she was sporting a silk kimono dress thing, black pants underneath and black riding boots.
4. The Actor (nickname) - This gentleman wears a variety of tutlenecks paired with a lovely sport coat. Today on the lapel of his jacket he had a few (3) lapel pins. All different condiments. The Ketcup lapel pin was my favorite but that might be because I was hungry.
These are the four that stood out to me this week and made it very hard to have Christ like thoughts during Ward Conference. My ward also has higher than normal instances of Crimes of Fashion such as nylons with open toed shoes, grandma dresses and ties with cartoons on them.
I love my ward.

What? You're not telling us what you wore to church today. You should suggest a runway modeling activity for your ward.
I think you should set up Scarlett and the Actor. They would make a nice couple. Or a ridiculously over dressed couple, but either way... nice.
Your ward definitely sounds interesting.....and eccentric....and a little scary....
Frankly my dear... I don't give a damn!
Actually I do, but I just couldn't resist that quote. Weird people lurk about your ward. Maybe you should take some surreptitious photos of them and post them.
