Lest you think, Oh poor girl, being forced to parade around in multicolor chiffon feathers and sequins in front of hundreds of guests, let me assure you, I designed that dress myself. We hired a dressmaker, and I drew up my vision, which apparently was inspired by a parrot, and this was the result. Very unforgettable!" —llowe80
