Now, let me explain, girls! I happen to be three quarters through my third reading of Leon Uris' "Exodus," his epic, 1958 novel about the formation of the then new state of Israel. Of course, as I read it, I hear the immortal Ernest Gold movie theme coursing through my head.
In the story, Kitty Fremont, a nurse, (played by a miscast Eva Marie Saint, in the movie!) wants to bring a young girl, Karen Clement (a pre-"Cabaret" Jill Haworth) home to America with her, so she can wear poodle skirts, go to proms, have boyfriends--remember, dolls, what time period this takes place in.
Sooner or later, the talk gets around to cocktail dresses, which every girl should have for that phase of the party. So I looked online, and I think this one is just perfect for me! I love the color and the cut.
But I am a bit confused. At what point does one change into the evening gown? Is there a specific time? Or has it to do with what is served, and when?
Inquiring minds want to know! Meanwhile, I have a dress to shop for!!!!!!!!
This is when I need ANNA on speed dial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
