Prom? We’re talkin’ about prom?!?!

There’s only one sports blog to turn to when it’s time to get serious and discuss … dresses.

Yep, Coupeville Sports, ever on the front-lines of the frock movement.

Prom is bearing down, just a week away it turns out, and if you’re a CHS student in need of clothing for the big night, yet don’t want to spend a ton of your parents money, I have the answer.

My Fairy Godmother provides dresses for a nominal rental fee, and thanks to the tireless efforts of Amy Briscoe, the selection is incredibly deep.

“I try and get another dress in the house and my husband disowns me!,” she laughed while dodging wind and rain at Saturday’s Wolf softball game.

If interested, contact Briscoe at (360) 632-2229 and she’ll set up an appointment.

Thus endeth my PSA.

And, if I see cookies or fudge or some such treat in my mailbox in the future, well, no one ever said I was above taking “bribes.”

Dress fever grips the nation.

We sit two weeks out from ye olde annual Coupeville High School Homecoming dance and the race is on to obtain garments for said night.

Enter the queen of the haberdashery, the titan of teal, the Tim Gunn of Cow Town, Amy Briscoe.

The mom of CHS spikers Tiffany and Kyla Briscoe, who also doubles as a reasonably-priced dress merchant in her work with My Fairy Godmother, is back at it.

Briscoe (and her 2,709 dresses) will be camped out in the school’s commons area Sept. 30-Oct. 1 (next Friday and Saturday) from 12-6 PM, making with the Homecoming dress rental.

Cost is just $20 (a steal, I say) and Briscoe offers a dazzling variety of styles and sizes.

You can also bring in a formal dress and slice $10 off the rental fee. Thrifty and fashion forward.

Yes, these are not Tolo dresses. I do know that much about dresses. But it's not like I have a billion dress-related pics sitting around, so this will do quite nicely. (John Fisken photo)

Damn, David. Back at it again with the dresses!

OK, having tipped my hat at a meme which will fade away in a hot moment (we can all hope), let’s get to why we’re really here.

With Tolo bearing down on the masses (Saturday night 9 PM in Coupeville), the scramble for the proper attire is underway.

Riding to the rescue is My Fairy Godmother, which has once again arrived on the scene with a room stuffed full of reasonably-priced dresses, including a whole batch of new additions.

Where: the Coupeville Middle School Art Room

When: Wednesday-Thursday 2:30-5:30 and Friday 2:30-4:30

Cost: $20 (super reasonable!)

Contact: Amy Briscoe (360-929-7829)

Dresses? Why did it have to be dresses?!?!

Say yes to the dress.

Why not? I already said yes to writing about the dress, so the least you can do is go try one on.

OK, wait, let me stop babbling for a second here and focus on what I’m supposed to be saying.

Which is this, that My Fairy Godmother is here to provide classy dresses at a very-reasonable price to Coupeville High School girls looking to make a splash at a school dance such as Homecoming.

Cost is a mere $20, and you get half of that back once you return the dress.

The first try-on is Friday, Sept. 25 from 4:00-7:00 PM in the CHS commons, with future try-ons set for the next two Fridays (Oct. 2 and 9).

If you have questions, contact My Fairy Godmother head honcho Amy Briscoe at albriscoe1074@gmail.com.

Let’s talk about dresses (seriously)!!

I’m all about that dress.

Well, at least for a moment. Then we’re back to sports.

But, since a fair amount of Coupeville High School’s best athletes have been known to wear a dress or two, it all fits together.

So, doing my public service, I’m here to give you a head’s up on My Fairy Godmother, a project run by the Coupeville Soroptimists.

It offers high school girls a chance to obtain formal dresses for Prom and other such dances for a small fee.

A very small fee.

Cost is $15 and you get $10 of that back when you return the dress. Donate a dress yourself and the cost drops even further.

There are 200+ dresses to choose from, with a variety of sizes and styles available.

To take advantage of the service (and enjoy the sparkling cider and snacks offered with the dress search), contact Amy Briscoe at (360) 929-7829 to set up an appointment.

And that’s about all I have to say about dresses for the time being, though I am willing to keep talking about these here snacks…
