Who still wears their graduation gown?
Everyone who still wears their graduation gown raise their hand. I better see all your hands up!
Since we got to keep our caps, gowns, tassles, and cape thingies I have decided to incorporate this commencement ensemble into my daily wardrobe. So far, I have worn the collection to the mall, church, out to eat, fishing, my South class (I attempted to show Silk the Shocker up- I succeeded), a bar, swimming, and working out. I have found that the public loves SHC graduates. Often while wearing the garb, many people stare and take pictures. I think its because of the fact that they have never seen an SHC graduate before and they know that they are of a lesser kind so they must capture the moment. However, a very said thing happened a few days ago. While, hiking through the great wilderness known as West Mobile my gown got caught in a briar patch. While I struggled to free myself from the unrelenting shrubbery I ripped a small hole in my gown. Though, I escaped unharmed my gown did not. After 3 hours of crying and a bottle of whiskey I turned to my Mommy for some help in sewing the threads back up. She said sure and asked why I had tears in my eyes and alcohol on my breath. I replied, "Don't worry about it--just sew woman!" So she did. I now I am reunited with my gown. Which I am wearing at the moment. So, all is good.
