This Damsel is a Dame

Gather 'round, children. I 'as a story for ye.

Once there was a cockney lady livin' in de streets o' london town. It was back in de early 1900's, it was. She 'obbled 'round lookin' for a bite, and 'fore she knew what 'it 'er, a man 'eard 'er speakin' n' slurin'. What a reighteous man 'e was, that Mr. 'iggins. 'ow noble 'e must've felt to take me off de streets. Well, just you wait 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!

Oh, don't frighten Helena, Damsels. Act perfectly normal. We don't want to scare away her natural charm and cukoo ways by speaking logically. Just let her go on in costume. I think that scene where her father's supposed to get to the church on time might be coming up next, and, believe me, you don't want to miss it.

Truly, Helena, never change. We love you just the way you are, you crazy, beautiful coot!

Slouchy Damsels

Megan and I fawned over an alarming amount of merchandise today, which just served to make us depressed about our financial situations. But, it also served to creatively fuel this post, so, you win some...you lose some.

We are LOVING slouchy sweaters. They are the perfect piece for spring and summer. Switching from a day at the beach to an evening dinner? Throw a slouchy sweater over your outfit! Want to feel hardcore with leather leggings, but don't know if you can pull off edge from head-to-toe (or as Tyra says, "H to T")? Throw a slouchy sweater with those leather pants and you will be edgy, with a softer vibe.

They aren't as heavy as sweatshirts or jackets, so they won't weigh you down, but you won't freeze when it gets a little breezier at night.

So, what am I saying? I'm saying get to a store and buy yourself a slouchy sweater, for goodness sake! If not for yourself, do it for Megan and I. We can live vicariously through your purchases and feel that much better about our situation (or just insanely jealous).

Hummana Hummana: Moar Hunger Mansels

It's no secret. Damsel HQ is abuzz with excitement for The Hunger Games. Yours Truly has tickets to the midnight premiere. We've posted about Katniss, in various ways, as well as her fellow tribute, Peeta and Mr. Miley Cyrus Gale (Liam Hemsworth) a ton recently. And, well, we've sort-of forgotten to include the other male cast members in all our frenzy.

So here's a look at some Hunger Mansels worth drooling over, or at least worth a second glance.

How could we forget you, Cinna (Lenny Kravitz)? I dig a guy who can pull off gold eye-liner like Mr. Kravitz can:

Now, this facial hair was constructed by the beard-trimming gods! I actually like it and am not being sarcastic. I mean, I will admit it is a little drastic for your everyday tasks (Wes Bentley, who plays Seneca Crane, the head Gamemaker, actually admitted that while filming he would have to make stops at convenience stores and he would get some crazy looks from people, understandably), but it is pretty cool:

Here's what Mr. Bentley actually looks like:

Now, that's a mansel!

How about some male tributes? I'm on the fence about the hotness of these two. Megan hates this picture, but it is the only convenient one of two male tributes, so what can you do? I see her point though. The one with the sneer in the background is the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid! (We hope he grows into his looks.)

How did that get in there?

Oh, well! See you at the premiere!

Today marks Damsel in a Dress's 100th post. 100 posts about things we love, hate or that make us lol are now on the interwebs for all eternity, and our loyal damsels across the world (what up, Russia?) still load our page now and then to read our tangents and at times hilarious opinions. Rachel and I hope to keep growing this little blog, but we have some pretty awesome readers already.

And to thank all of you for wasting your precious internet time with us every once in awhile, I share with you our recent vacation pictures in Vietnam. We just had so much fun!

Here we are about to get off the boat. I really love our respective pants, but I'm not crazy about my forehead flower—let's just say it looked a lot better in person, when I didn't have a mirror and was high on opium.

We made easy friends with the local children, who adored us obvs. I think Rachel's hat really made them feel at home! Oh wait, they already were at home and we were invading their homes. Semantics!

Rachel's crying jewels right now because the shop owner told her they were completely sold out of a matching pink neon fringe halter top in her size! Or at least I think that's what they said, idk really.

"This umbrella goes with this culture, right?" Although I do have to say my dress here is adorable.

"Wait, so it is organic? Why is she laughing?"

"...aaaaand we're lost."

(Disclaimer: all photos via Free People's March Catalog. Rachel and I really didn't go to Vietnam. It needed to be stated.)

HAPPY 100TH!!
