        奧巴馬就職在即 “防撞衫網(wǎng)站”助陣
        Website saves fashion faux pas at Obama inauguration

        奧巴馬就職在即 “防撞衫網(wǎng)站”助陣

        Dressregistry.com invites party goers to post the designer, color and length of their outfit chosen for the dozens of January 20 inauguration bashes in Washington, DC

        A new website hopes to save guests at president-elect Barack Obama's inauguration balls from the ultimate fashion faux pas -- wearing the same dress as someone else.

        Dressregistry.com invites party goers to post the designer, color and length of their outfit chosen for the dozens of January 20 inauguration bashes in Washington, DC.

        "Our one goal is to lessen the chance that someone attending the same event as you will be wearing the EXACT same dress," organizers write on the website.

        For example, anyone headed to the Commander-in-Chief Ball knows that someone else has got first dibs on a pink, ankle-length Adrianna Pappell dress with a plunging neckline.

        The black Ralph Lauren cocktail dress is taken, ditto the strapless blue Amsale and silver, ankle-length Cachet.

        The obvious problem with the scheme is that unless everyone registers their dress, guests will still be left wondering.

        "We can make no guarantee that you won't have twin at your event, but at least we can try to eliminate such sad occurrences," the website warns.

        Around 100 gowns were said to have been registered by inaugural revelers.

        It was further revealed that the number kept soaring as the inaugural festivities drew near with mastermind Andrew Jones recording around "300,000 hits and more than 10,000 unique visitors since the Web site launched December 1.

        美國當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)奧巴馬的就任典禮在即,一家“防撞衫網(wǎng)站”應(yīng)運(yùn)而生,目的是避免出席就職舞會的賓客們出現(xiàn)撞衫的尷尬。

        總統(tǒng)就職儀式將于本月20日在華盛頓舉行。這家Dressregistry.com網(wǎng)站邀請將出席宴會的賓客把自己所選禮服的設(shè)計師、顏色和長度發(fā)到網(wǎng)上。

        該網(wǎng)站在其網(wǎng)頁上寫道:“我們的目的就是減小你與其他嘉賓撞衫的幾率。”

        目前,已登記的禮服包括AdriannaPappell粉紅低胸齊踝長裙、RalphLauren黑色露肩酒會禮服和Cachet銀色露肩長裙等等。

        但很顯然的一個問題是,除非每個嘉賓都將自己選擇的禮服登記到網(wǎng)上,否則還是不能完全放心。

        該網(wǎng)站提醒說:“我們不能保證萬無一失,但至少能減少這種尷尬發(fā)生的幾率。”

        據(jù)悉,該網(wǎng)站上目前已登記了約100套禮服。

        而且隨著就職典禮的臨近,登記人數(shù)還在不斷上升,據(jù)網(wǎng)站創(chuàng)辦人安德魯?瓊斯介紹,“自去年12月1日該網(wǎng)站創(chuàng)辦以來,已吸引了1萬多人注冊和30萬次點(diǎn)擊量。”
