On my eighteenth birthday, after my friends and I had eaten we stood on top of an outdoor fountain for a photograph. i asked a nice indian family that was nearby if one of them could take our picture. they obliged, and i ran back up to the fountain. I was wearing a strapless dress and needless to say when the man snapped the photo he saw a glimpse of something he shouldn't have. THANKFULLY I didn't scream out or draw attention to what happened. I quickly lifted up my dress over my boobs and acted "natural". I heard the Indian family muttering something (probably about how americans are loose) haha anyways, I cleared the digital camera and try to pretend it never happened. (:

Well, it wasn't necessarily a malfunction, but I don't have enough of a wardrobe to have malfunctions. It is, however, a pretty funny story. I was in a play a week or two ago and during the second show, I walked off stage after a scene and started whipping off my clothes backstage. Everyone stood watching me, strange expressions on their faces and finally, as I stood there in just my slip, one of my fellow actors asked, "Isn't this the scene where I come to tea?" I looked at her blank faced for a moment and then dropped an F-Bomb... a bit too loudly for that small theater and proceeded to get dressed faster than I ever have before. I sent the maid out to fiddle with some props, so it would hopefully cover the gap and prayed that no one heard my vulgar ravings.

Thankfully, no one did!

Well...when I look back there have been too many...but I would have to say the worst one was on my our wedding anniversary we went out for dinner and a movie about 5 years ago and I decided it would be super to wear my new pointy slip ons. I was trying to be sexy. We were walking around downtown when my feet starting throbbing and I told my husband I would have to purchase a new pair of shoes immediately. So we headed to the Gap where I purchased a pair of metallic ballet flats in the kids section. What a relief to be rid of the pain but not so sexy anymore :(. My feet are made of porcelain so this has happened a few times but that was the worst. I also went thru a granny dress phase. I would buy vintage cotton dresses that were baggy and tie a knot in the front, wearing them with leggings and Doc Martins. Looking back I was putting on about 10 to 15 extra pounds. Not the best fashion phase for me. xo

Ha! What a fun contest. My most memorable wardrobe malfunction happened when I was in preschool. It was Halloween and I begged my mom for countless hours that I had to go as a Ballerina. Finally, she gave in - I didn't understand her negativity on the costume, but I cheerfully felt like I had won the battle. Halloween day came and I pranced into school in my pink tights, pink leotard, ballet slippers and big poofy pink tutu. It must have been 1 hour into school that I starting feeling like I had to go to the bathroom. I couldn't take off my costume without the help of my mom, so I decided I could hold it in. Another hour went by and I was now holding it in, crossed legged, not able to participate in what was going on. I kept hearing water running, apple cider pouring, rain falling outside, a river, a lake, an ocean. There was no holding back, I got up and ran to the bathroom. I made it to the girls room and since I couldn't take off my costume, I just had to sit on the toilet, in my costume and all. :( It is really funny now, but in preschool, it was embarrassing!!! When my mom came to pick me up, all she said "I told you so"!

Mine was in a play too- the old skirt stuck in the pantyhose look. Unfortunately, the play was set in the 19th century so I had a very long skirt, and it just felt like I had a bit of bustle as I walked all the way across the stage. Never mind the breeziness. That costume was beautiful, but always a bit of a problem as it came with a beautiful matching hat that was far too small for my head so I also had to worry that it didn't fly off while I was walking.

Well, hard to believe but I don't wear underwear, I may as well come right out and say it. I don't hardly ever....a habit that started years ago, and then when I tried to break myself of the habit, it felt...let's just say..."diaper-ish".

Anyway, I worked as a cocktail waitress at a very nice upscale restaurant/bar a few years back. I would work 10-15 hours shifts sometimes in heels and occasionally go back to the kitchen to "stretch" or pop my back, etc.... One evening I was doing just that, bent over in four inch heels, holding my ankles, when I hear, "oh my god, your pants are split?" I stood, turned and looked and about four of the Sous Chefs and one waiter were all staring with amazement and shock. I said, "are you kidding? No, they aren't, are they? No, where?" The waiter with his arm still outstretched and pointing to my lower area said..."in the crotch, like..the whole thing...it's...you....oh my god."

"What did you see?" I asked.

"Everything!" he said, as they all laughed.

I had no idea how to recover from that, so I tried to act "okay" with it...like give the...well, you guys are my buddies type of response, while I secretly was DYING. They gave me an apron to wrap around the back, I went to the bathroom, and did the exact pose I was in previously....and almost died right there. The split was about 4-5 inches, right along the seam of the crotch, a perfect split, which opened nicely when I bent over. If there had been a window to climb out of, I would have.

I have no idea how long I was walking around like that, or how many people may have saw, it was so ridiculous it couldn't have seemd like an accident. Especially since there was nothing under the pants, I had to face that shame everyday at work, and believe me the story spread (no pun intended).

Once I was goofing around with my boyfriend outside of a sports stadium. I jumped on his back for a ride, and my jeans split completely down the back. YIKES! He had to carry me all the way back to the car with his hands strategically placed to cover my exposed panties.

OK. Mine was on my Wedding night! Being young, very thin, and naive, I bought the entire "sexy" ensemble to wear for my new husband! We got to our hotel room, I went in the bathroom to put it all on for him, and about 15 minutes later I come out....nothing fit! The boustier could practically spin around my frail body, the nylons I purchased had the rubber top so it wouldn't go with my garter, it was horrible! So, we just decided to forget the whole outfit! :)Or there was also the time that my top popped off, straight to the sand, while I was standing talking to some people at the beach....LOL

Hmmmm...I was once walking into a dinner in an ambassador's house in four inch heels and one of my heels got stuck in a crack between two outdoor pavers and broke off. I had brought no purse, only my business cards in a pocket. I calmly handed the butler my heel and told him to please hang on to it for me. And then I sort of lurched around for the rest of the evening. Cough, so graceful, right?
