I thought I had really found a great deal online - a really cool dress for $3 and shipping was only $2!  I mean they must be shipping it via a slow boat from China - right?!  Um, yes, yes they were.  The dress did in fact come from China and it took 26 days to get to my house.  And when it arrived . . . well as you can see from the pictures below - it sure does not look like the picture online!

I have learned my lesson with online shopping - the hard way.  However, I still have yet to take the plunge into the ‘no picture profile’ guy.  I have this fantasy that he is really this celebrity that can’t show their face because, well, duh, they are a celebrity.  And they are just waiting for their true love to take a chance and write to them even though they don’t have a profile picture and the gal has absolutely no idea what they look like.  That she was the type of person who really looked at what he wrote in his profile and saw into his heart instead of just looking at the pictures.

Well folks, this is reality and I can’t take a chance that maybe his eyes are really close together so when I first meet him I can’t stop staring - now that would be rude!  Or maybe, God forbid, he had lizard contacts - I mean I can’t - with a straight face - talk to that man and drink my Starbucks.  It would most definitely come straight out my nose - and it is hot!  [ouch!]

So I guess what I am trying to say is; “Hello, my name is Veronica and I need to see what you look like before I can date you.”
