Wow. I didn't think I would get such a response. I guess I first have to say thank you and I appreciate the help! Your opinions make a big difference and I love that everyone was able to make a clear cut decision, well, except for one named Allison Hansen, but that is ok. I think she was leaning towards purple anyway.
So, in conclusion, the official count is as follows:
Total votes: 18
Purple - 6 or 7 (depending on which way Allison is leaning)
Black - 11
Here's the funny thing, on Sunday evening, everyone was clearly all for the purple, as was I. But by early Monday, the tides had shifted and everyone was vehemently black, well except for Allison who just wasn't quite sure. Very odd...
I do like the black, I mean, it's an ok dress, it's just black...but I have worn several LBD's (little black dresses) in the past. In fact, I buy one and I wear it to every event for 2-3 years until I am forced to buy another one, which I can then wear again for another 2-3 years. My mom told me I am not allowed to wear the current LBD I have now, hence the search for a new dress. So, I thought I would change it up and open my eyes (no Asian jokes here please, I've heard them all) a little wider and consider other colors and designs. Hence my dilemma.
While I respect and appreciate everyone's opinion and thoughts and supplemental information, I guess that ultimately, the decision as to which dress I wear really just comes down to one person, and we all know that that person is...Rachel, my sister.
Though Rachel did not respond via blog, she did respond by email and indicated that photos don't give a detailed enough picture and she will need to see them all in person. So, as much as I'd like to say I have come to a decision, I am still on the fence. Although, one conclusion I did come to was to get rid of the designy dress. So, no pirate and no zebra for this party.
Come next weekend, verdict will be in. I'll let you all know what I, uh, Rachel and I, decide. Thanks so much!

your mother rocks. happy, happy birthday to her!
you're people rock we all love your stories of your parents so we all want you to be pretty :) Can't wait!
I have spent two days laughing at this series of posts. I like the purple, just because it's different. Then again, the shrug demand... so tricky. I'm really bugged at Kyle that we didn't even get to SEE the pirate dress. What does he know? Who does he think he is, RACHEL??
Good think your mom's looking out for you. Though I wouldn't necessarily trust her judgment, either... you're "tall"?? White, yes, for sure-- and pretty-- but tall... there's been some crack being smoked somewhere.
man. i am so bummed i wasn't online this week. of ALL the weeks to miss!?!
i have to vote purple. the shrug is adorable, too. purple. please. it is REAL purple. not pink-purple. i think that is totally in its favour.
and i agree, we should get to see the pirate dress. make kyle model it.
