I didn't think I would like because I didn't care for it growing up but I like to dress up and look nice for special occasions (weddings and costume parties) or even for everyday work or church on Sunday.
I like to look really really nice because I like how I feel when I'm dressed nicely. It's an internal good feeling and part of the reason I like to dress up nicely at work and church too. Makes me feel professional and makes me feel that where I'm going is extremely important to me especially on Sundays at church with God. (I'm definitely not saying anything about other people dressing up or not dressing up...you do what you need to do to make your days important to you especially at church because that's your relationship. This is purely for me and I like it.)
At weddings, I like to dress up and go to the dance floor because I like to cut a rug with my awesomely horrible dance skills. If you've ever seen a good sprinkler move on the dance floor, then you definitely don't want to see mine. I don't bump and grind but I just like to have a good time while wearing nice clothing. You will almost never see me dance outside of a wedding.
As for the costume parties, I'm getting into those too. Last year, I was Oddjob/Asian Charlie Chaplin and that was fun except I got really tired and fell asleep at my friends' place. Yesterday, I got to dress up as Captain America (or as I called myself, Captain Asian America)...it was fun except the costume was about two sizes too big so I put in an emergency hem on the legs using a stapler and tucked the arm sleeves into my regular sleeves to make it fit. The mask was way too big and I looked Steve Rogers before his super soldier experiment but no matter because the night was fun. I ran a bowling game and gave out candy to kids. Crazy amounts of little ones with cute costumes but it was a good time for all.
(Now, I just have to figure what I'll be for next year. Baseball player, perhaps? Another superhero? If you have an idea let me know.)
There is one thing I hate about dressing up - it's called tying a tie. I leave all my ties tied up and hanging on the hangers in my closet (part lazy, part that it takes forever to get a perfect length). I can only do a half and full Windsor knot...I need someone to teach me the other ways. Tie masters, please help me out.
Until next time, I can't wait for the next reason to dress up nicely.
