"Tonight is the Angel Ball--a super-swanky gala to benefit the G&amp;amp;amp;P Foundation for Cancer Research, which was founded by songwriter and philanthropist Denise Rich in memory of her daughter Gabrielle, who died of leukemia at age 27. I&amp;#x27;m on the board of the G&amp;amp;amp;P and I can tell you every G&amp;amp;amp;P event is fabulous (John Legend and Joss Stone are performing tonight!). I have no doubt we are going to raise a ton of money for cancer research and have an incredible time in the process. The only problem: none of my fabulous-event dresses fit me. I waited until the last minute (um, yesterday) to try them on and none even comes close to zipping around my giant chest (more like my giant right boob, which still feels like a freakin implant...more on that later). And, of course, the jelly belly and wider hips don&amp;#x27;t help either. I was seriously panicked--and depressed--but then I remembered the dress I bought for the Leukemia &amp;amp;amp; Lymphoma Society&amp;#x27;s Casino Night, which was flowy and stretchy and comfortable (this one). Then I remembered I wore it when I was three months pregnant and got depressed again. There&amp;#x27;s also the fact that most people at this event will be in Oscar-worthy designer gowns, many of which were probably custom made. Now despite the fact that I am usually a Gap-jeans, sweater-from-Banana kind of girl, I do own some pretty incredible party dresses. The one that actually fits my post-baby bod: from the sale rack at Macy&amp;#x27;s and cost less than $100 (with my sister&amp;#x27;s coupon). Let&amp;#x27;s just hope no one asks, &amp;amp;quot;and who are you wearing tonight?&amp;amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;ll have pictures and the full report (and probably a hangover&amp;amp;nbsp;--kidding) tomorrow. --Erin"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
