Fifty Five Thousand Dresses

Okay all of you ladies (and sentimental gents), this one is going to make you clutch your hearts in romance induced glee. Paul Brockmann met Margot, the love of his life at a dance decades ago.  He decided that she would never have to dance in the same dress twice. Um...wow! That is why the Brockmanns now have fifty thousand beautiful dresses, most of which are up for sale. Their wish is to spend the proceeds on a night of dancing at the New Year's ball in Vienna.



Holy moly, y'all. The romance of this all is killing me just as much as those glorious dresses are. If you're in the Gardena, California area, they are having the sale until 3:00 today. It also looks like they are doing some online sales so do see the entire website with more of the story here at  55 Thousand Dresses and their Facebook page here and if you don't do anything else, do read the news article about the history of the dresses here. It's fascinating to me how Margot seems nonchalant about the whole situation and admits to wearing only a scant number of the dresses that Paul has found.

I think that one of my favorite bits of info about Paul is that he refuses dance offers from ladies wearing pants. That Paul seriously loves some dresses!  After realizing how few like Paul there are in this world, I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to check and see how far cloning technology has come...

Until next time,
x's and o's,
Eartha (who is super short on dresses, all things considered)
