Amazing Lace, Challenge #6
August 20th, 2006 | View Comments
Your challenge—your final challenge—is to post a photo of your lace being proudly worn or displayed by the strangest, funniest, or most unlikely model you can find.
At first I thought I’d try to find a cardboard cutout of somebody menacing to model my lace. The Hulk! Darth Vader! Alas, they were unavailable.
Then I thought I’d do something completely unlikely, at least for me. I wear a dress and heels probably five days out of every year and usually it’s because someone is going to have my head if I don’t show up wearing something nice. I bother to do my unruly mass of hair even less often than that, because well…unruly mass of hair.
But look! It’s me! All dolled up! An unlikely model for sure.
Ok. But it’s not funny. And it’s not even unlikely, unless you kind of know me.
And then I found it. The best model for my lace, and one that complements the story of the lace nicely. See, the Print o’ the Wave stole is a wedding gift for a friend of mine. I will be shipping it off tomorrow, exactly six weeks and one day after she tied the knot. I probably should have started it sooner. And worked on it more diligently, instead of getting distracted by, y’know, other lace. Thus:
The poster reads, “Procrastination: Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.”
