You might want to avoid frying anything at that show. Microwave recipes might be in order.
 
My mom used to have a magnet on the fridge that said, "Never fry bacon naked."

One reason button-downs gape on many people is that there are specific places the buttons should fall, and factory-made shirts use templates for button placement that just space them evenly, starting at the collar. To eliminate gappage, there should be one right between your bust points (I know they're not pointy, but that's how the measurement/location is named on patterns and in sewing books).
We used to have a company in Milwaukee that specialized in custom made undergarments. I always said I wanted to be a bra fitter, but my friends all said I'd feel like a boob.
 
I walk into a host's house, ask if they mind if I go barefoot, and off they go! I think shoes are to keep your feet from melting on hot asphalt/cement in the summer and freezing on the same in the winter.

I also have a foot issue that makes it difficult to wear shoes for a long time...if I wear them for too long, especially when standing, they pain gets way too intense!
 
I often remove my shoes as well since most people don't wear shoes in their home. I do make sure to bring socks or slippers if needed. I think super cute slippers would be fun. It's pretty casual around here though. I think I get a better response if I'm dressed nicely but more on the casual side. I agree about button up shirts though they are started to fit better as I lose weight. My suggestion is get a few really nice shells or sleeveless shirts to put under so that you button up to a certain point and then leave it open. There are a lot of stretchy button ups out there and THAT helps a lot!! I bought one at the end of Spring and will be wearing it a ton in the fall & winter. Again...the silly thing is that we stress over what we wear and then throw a demin apron over it. I LOVE, love, LOVE my new pink on though and will wear that to everything now. If I put a a-line skirt under it, I feel like Betty Crocker.
 
Kelly, those shirts are SO CUTE!! I may borrow your idea too. We have a local frame store that does shirts and they could do this up for me. What store did you get them at? We may be coming to Florence in a few weeks and I may could order one to pick up from them if we get to come

I have pretty much quit wearing the PC apron. Especially during the summer, when I get into my show I get hot if the house is not really cool to begin with and the apron just adds to it. I have been wearing a red PC shirt I bought from someone on here. I would love something different. I did just get a FREE one from Vista Print that has not come in yet.
