i need this in my life.

i'm going to germany for the first time since i was twelve this christmas. i am very excited. i happent to stem from the best part of germany, bavaria. more specifically, i was born in a town called lichtenfels, which is world renowned for being the "german basket city." (fun fact: lichtenfels is actually not that well-known, even among germans.) i think this is reason enough to justify that bavaria is the best region of the country. but if it isn't, i will argue that we speak with the cutest of all the german dialects. it might actually be the only cute german dialect, upon further thought. i would equate it to the american southerner's accent. not so much because bavaria is located in the southern portion of germany, but because it sounds adorably unrefined.

so anyway, i really want someone to get me this dirndl:
(excuse her face, please.)




to celebrate my bavarian heritage on special occasions. or to wear around my house on a daily basis while i bake apfelstrudel and serve overflowing beer mugs to a very fortunate and appreciative man. whichever occurs first.
