thinking bout gowns n make up yup i guess i really do rather enjoy gg to functions n dressing up but the real bonding friendship fun comes it getting ready for the whole event hahah gg shopping trying on new gowns colour aft colour .. n having fun at it playing hide n seek in the fitting rooms.. something i noticed each time some friend of mine is gg to some other guy's commissioning ball mostly they ll offer to pay for the dress n then the gal will happily go shop n get prepared with her gal friend this phenomena reminds me of this romance novel i read "tender is the storm" the lady would spend the whole day getting ready for a ball n then her future beau will onli see the end product then they ll spend less than 6 hrs getting to know each other! the ratio of her getting pretty n ready does not justify! hmm i ll rather the couple get shop for a gown together n do the prep stuff together think tts the crucial bonding period
