Crisis averted, perhaps

Well, I did locate those shoes this morning (in a flash of inspiration, I checked the trunk of my car, thinking that perhaps I left them there so I would not mispalce them).

I did NOT locate the travel steamer I use for my outfits, and instead of using the other steamer (the not-so-efficient and rather persnickety one) I decided to let the dress hang in the bathroom while I showered. I still think it looks like it could use a steaming. Perhaps I'll pop into the Tar-zhey at lunch and see what they have in the way of steamers, as I really do need to get a new one -- the first one is just old and although it works great, it is starting to rust (rusty steam BAD); the second is just a pain. If there is a plug in the bathroom of the venue we are using I can steam out the dress in under 5 minutes.
