Today, in preparation for Creative Loafing’s upcoming Loafie Awards and my debut as Mrs. Loafie – the show’s official award dispenser – I paid a visit to Bay area vintage clothing institution La France to peruse the shop’s selection of gowns and be outfitted by its team of dress experts. (That's me with Jamie Hunt. She was a great help.)

 I tried on three very classy numbers – two red, one black.  

Check them out at the jump and tell me what you think.
