i heard about that
I don't go to Wellesley, but my friend who does is taking me to Dyke Ball. :) are you going?
Dyke Ball
I'll be at Dyke Ball. I'm going in a bit of drag but still need the wig to complete the outfit.
Is it your first Dyke Ball? Plans for dress/costume?
yeah it's my first.. i
yeah it's my first.. i wasn't really planning on dressing up, maybe just a shirt and tie or something :D heh... i don't know what else i'd like to do. suggestions?
omg, inbd
You have several options
You can dress nicely (it is black tie.) So you can do high class femme or go in all out tuxedo drag. Or do something in between if you want to mix things up.
You can go in costume. This has many interpretations. You can go era theme (20's flapper for one.) You can dress as a sexy nun (I had a friend do this last year), a doctor/nurse, a fairy, or whatever you want to go as. You can also dress in strategically placed band-aids. Body paint (making sure to have something covering private parts) is always a popular option.
You can go as as you would to a regular party, only with 25-50% of the clothes missing. I don't recommend this one as it's boring. More of a last resort type of thing.
And remember: glitter is amazing, just don't get it in your eyes.

sure is a nice start to the week!
you girls at wellesley are so lucky to have such fantastic alumni who are equally fantastic about returning to the mother ship to talk.
i had the pleasure of getting to know a few wellesley ladies (and one especially, wink!) back in '04. sounds like a pretty inspiring college!
enjoy the event! she said enviously :o)
This is fantastic! One of
Wellesley!
Ahhhh!! I'm going there! :-D I'll be visiting in April, but I won't start until the Fall. Well that's off topic...that's so cool! When is Wellesley's LesBiTrans week?
-Oh! Darling-
Spring open campus?
Mmhhmm
Yeah i'll be there fore spring open campus. Damn, so I'm missing it! :-/
that'd be awesome to meet people there! I'm not quite sure how the schedule is looking though. For sure I'll be there the 16th, and I have to leave on the 18th in the afternoon, and I don't know about what they'll have us do in between. But i'll ask around.

Schedule tends to go...
Ah.
That sounds awesome! as the host, did you take the student(s) to organizations' activities, events, or tours of the campus?
*I know this isn't exactly what the topic is about. Sorry, but i'm really excited to be going there :-)

Hosting
It all depends on what was happening on campus at the time. The last time I was hosting someone, nothing of note was happening. So I just took her to a dining hall of her choice (Pom since she was vegetarian) and we talked about various issues of campus life. Even if there's nothing you want to go to happening, it's still a great time to learn about the campus and see parts of it that aren't on the main tour. But in the past there have been concerts and other big events, so I doubt you'll be bored.
Cool!
sweet, that sounds awesome! I hope I don't happen to be there on the day where nothing fun is happening. haha. ah well. I'll just have to talk to some of the ladies there ;-)
