Damn that beautiful pink skirt!

Okay, so remember that beautiful pink, long and flowy skirt that I fell in love with in Sydney? Yeah well after I bought it... I was so excited that after flying back to Melbourne, I changed into it for a quick bite of lunch at the Southbank mall (just nearby). We enjoyed a sandwich and the went up the stairs to look at a few items in the bottle shop ;) but on the way down ... dun dun dun (imagine dangerous movie music) ... I looked down and noticed that the escalator had decided to have my skirt for lunch!!!

It was wedged very tightly between the edge of the step and the wall... and I tugged and tugged. As we got closer and closer to the bottom of the escalator, Mom started tugging too!! That beautiful pink skirt was NOT coming out!!! In earnest, Mom yells... "Take it off!!! Take the skirt off!!!" My eyes got so big because there was no way I was taking it off.... My undergarments were definitely inappropriate for a casino! haha! I look up and there are two people just above us watching in shock as my skirt gets further consumed! Finally as adrenaline kicks in (just before it got pulled off of me) I begin to tear the beautiful pink, long and flowy skirt into one long ... very long... shred of pink flowy material ... with part of it stuck in the escalator. Once my skirt had jammed the escalator, a very helpful man grabbed the material and ripped it so I could take the remaining parts home! Another lady offered to buy both my mom and I glasses of wine (p.s. good way to get free wine... wear a flowy skirt on the escalator) but in embarrassment of what could have happened (I'm imagining walking home from the Casino only half clothed) we just went home.


Lesson: Always carry an extra pair of shorts with you when you wear flowy skirts. ;)
