Hello! I am replying to your ad about the Peridot maid of honor dress. The dress reminds me so much of another piece I used to have, but unfortunately grew out of. One too many years of cubicle work and brewskies will do unfortunate things to ones' figure. But I have overcome any self-conscious feelings, and have decided that it is time to try to fit into a 18 again. Your ad stated that the price was negotiable, but listed as $125. Would you be willing to accept $75 and an item valued at no less than $50?

Jennifer,

I live in Waco, a short drive east of Brownwood. The fact that the dress was on a rather well-known TV show changes my offer! I absolutely love that show. I would watch it with my godchild, Albert, when I was still allowed to see him. So this dress now offers me some sense of nostalgia! So my new offer is as follows: $100 cash and an item worth no less than $100.

Before I give you any personal contact information, I would like to know a few things about the dress. First of all, I am in no way a slim man. My measurements are 38"x34"x36", so would this dress fit my figure well? If it is a two-piece, I would like having a LITTLE belly exposed, but not too much--I don't want to have to shave more of my stomach than necessary. I am thick in the thighs, but not in the bottom, so could the dress fit width-wise? I plan on going to Austin in about two weeks and spend many hours on 6th Street. I hope to look as good as possible. You know the dress better than I, so I hope I am not overestimating the size of this dress.

William

...What? I'm sorry, but the last few emails were rather unintelligible. I believe I got the gist of it, though. So you will include a padded bra? That sweetens the pot quite a bit. I always feel awkward buying bras for myself, so from time to time I have to ask a friend to buy them for me. Will spaghetti straps expose too much of my back? I have some patchy back hair and a mild case of bacne. What're we talking exposure-wise with regards to my back? Thank you for being so helpful!

No I'm sorry it does not have a bra with it. The dress comes with a shawl so you should not be able to see much of your back, only your shoulders. Get one of your female friends to buy you a strapless bra and you will look fabulous!

Oh I am so excited about this dress!! I'm even more excited about having made a new friend! It's so nice that you would call yourself a "female friend" of mine!!! Do you like putt-putt? I love getting all snazzy and playing a few rounds! One of my favorite places is this putt-putt place in Austin that has a giant T-Rex. Since you're going to Austin on the 28th or 29th, maybe we could meet up and play some putt-putt! If you enjoy classy bars, I have one in mind that ALL the cutest Austin boys hang out at. I'm giddy with excitement!

The bar is called Rain! It is a gay bar, so you can tell your husband that none of the men will be hitting on you! Maybe I can meet your husband, too! He must be a good man to be married to somebody who can own a dress as lovely as yours! Which day works best for putt-putt for you? I can most easily do the 29th, but the 28th works well, too! Looking forward to it Jennifer!

That's a great idea! I adore San Antonio! So we'll meet for some mini-golf, and take a road trip to San Antonio! How are we getting down there? I don't have a car of my own at the moment, so I'd need to ride with you. I can bring my road trip mix, but it's on cassette. So I hope your car has a cassette player. If not, I can bring my tape player, and we can listen to all the best music! How long are we staying in San Antonio?

I'm sorry if you can't accept cash. I understand that as this will be my first meeting with your family, I'd rather look professional and pay you by check.

So are you rejecting my offer of an amazing friendship? If so, I have to tell you that I am thoroughly offended. You are just another one of those people that hate me because I don't fit the typical profile of a "man." I took you for a good person. I truly hope that you are better than that. Don't let me down, Jennifer. I am still intrigued by the dress.

I understand. You think that I'm some "sensitive" wuss who can't handle the fact that you actually are intolerant of people who are not in the norm. I realize that you're lying when you say we can't be friends. I cannot believe how insensitive you are being right now, Jennifer.
