I wore Padme lake dress for a while after that – and the necklace completely fell apart. LOL. That’s what I get for wearing a 3 year old costume and not…

At first I’m thinking, oh crap, something has screwed up. But then she says that when I made my reservation, I was selected to receive an offer – I get to stay at any…
