I know how that goes. I have this GORGEOUS qipao from China and I never ever wear it because I am all self-conscious about it.
But saris are awesome, I am very impressed that you are making one yourself!!
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Art Crawl!!!
I just sent out an email to people in my office about something that they were supposed to turn in to me by the end of the first week in November.
Of course, today is the last day of the first week of November but apparently my supervisor is getting a million complaints about people not knowing when the deadline was - even though the initial email I sent about this matter said that I needed it by the end of the first week in November.
And even if you don't come into the office today you were no doubt here Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday or Monday - all days in the first week in November.
I am posting this here so I don't give in to the impulse to post it to my department and get my self in further hot water.
(My supervisor asked me who told me to send that email - I was under the impression that by giving me the task of gathering up this stuff I was granted permission to email as needed. So annoying.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't even wear wrap dresses or skirts because they make me so nervous. But saris are so pretty.
I've worn saris twice now. The time I was wrapped by an actual Indian person (as opposed to Emily and me) I never felt exposed or even potentially exposed at all. It's far more comfortable in that regard than a wrap skirt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You know, cupcakes are awesome. You know what'd be even more awesome? Cupcakes with little cupcakes on top!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The saris are super comfortable, but the underskirt and half shirt are thin and your midriff really is exposed. I'll wear a salwar kameez today instead.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The parents and teachers association of my old high school once put on a fashion show including saris. My mother was prevented from wearing one (by one of her best friends) on the grounds that they "wanted to show that white women could wear them too".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'll wear a salwar kameez today instead.
My favorite.
