My special aunt loved
life in the open country-
city bus made runs to town.
I loved to visit
we would cook, laugh and dress up-
then take city bus to town.
D-ress up to the nines,
I-t's your special occasion;
A-rray in your best garment,
N-ever ignore the
A-ttraction.
J-ust dress up to the nines,
U-ntil you are satisfied;
L-et the gladness remain
I-n your heart deep inside.
T-wenty-seventh of July, your attire has nice designs;
A-im to wear your apparel, dress up to the nines.
be bold its in control
don't mole
so it for your soul
this is the time
to
DRESS UP YOUR MIND
Dress up the wonderful sun
Allow it to be pretty
Dress up the beautiful Earth
Bring elegance out
Russell Sivey
your dress to kill
take a chill pill
whats the deal
is it real
with all that stuff
all
DRESS UP
I have 3 cats,
2 girls and 1 boy.
Sometimes when
I am bored I gather
them all up than it's
time to play dress up.
I dress them in lace
scarfs, ties and bows.
For awhile they all
play along until I go
to dress my man Louie
in a pink lace dress.
He looks at me and
Meows alright already.
The girls I dress in purple
pinks and lace I put them
on over their heads they
look so cute.
When everyone has had
enough dress up for the
day Della bats at me and
Lilly meows, hisses and
runs away to hide.

Oh I've had many wacky costumes through the years
Just to show folks nothing is as it appears!
Once I dressed as a pirate and wore videos
A cable wire necklace and swashbuckler clothes
I was a video pirate and some people guessed
When they saw vcr tapes in my treasure chest
Another time I had antennae and big wings
Dressed like a gypsy with my necklaces and rings
I was a gypsy moth,not many even knew
They'd stare at me and laugh but didn't have a clue
And sorry to say but once I was a pregnant nun
Irreverent,I know,but it was so much fun!
When all else fails and you are kind of in a hurry
Here's a last minute one so you don't have to worry
Put P on a t-shirt,blacken up one eye
You'll be a black-eyed pea,it's good for a stand-by!
I've been a box of Kleenex and a trophy wife
And all the normal,boring things you see in life
But being a creative soul I've tried to be
At Halloween something you don't usually see!
We play dress-up.
Being someone that we know we're not.
We play dress-up.
Pretending to have something we don't got.
We play dress-up.
Be yourself, don't waste your whole life playing games.
We play dress-up.
Young girls saying they're older using other people's names.
We play dress-up.
Come on! Is all that "bling-bling' neccessary.
We play dress-up.
Christians contridicting each other, getting stressed out, just kno all your
burdens God will carry.
So the next time you look in the mirror ask yourself are you playing dress-up?
Live your life to the fukkest don't nder estimate yourself, go on be tough.
Love who you are and start being yourself.
When you get to heaven God will give you freedom and rewards and wealth.
Claustrophobic Closets
...full of personalities and promise
what to squeeze into…
what to hide under?
fitting and proper it should be
for this moment, yes?
Metamorphosis into
that which is necessary to
...accessorize the lie
It’s all just dress-up anyway.
Now you should try.
