A Cool Print Suit

Another Suit I found on EBay.

It is from the "Midnight Velvet" catalog, a catalog for women of color

I for one will not allow black women to have all this great stuff to themselves


I will say they do the best nails

Don’t email and ask for EBay hints ‘cause I end up bidding against you


You know you are getting old when your movie companion falls asleep less than 5 minutes into the movie and she starts to snore….

I went to an antique show in Boston this morning. I do love these shows and they advertised that this one would have a big vintage fashion section

By the way another way to tell you are getting old is that the shoes you wore in college are now considered “vintage”

Anyway, I have found great things at vintage clothing shows in the past, and I love poking about even when I don’t buy anything.

Plus I collect Shelley Pottery so it promised to be a nice day. But they had nothing. That’s what happens after a while. I don’t need any more Rhinestone drop earrings.

Usually the vintage fashion vendors are interesting but not today.

Except for one who had some really nice and very ornate slips, though all on the small side for me


The great things about these vendors is that you don’t even need to explain. The woman said “I have some larger slips I didn’t bring, would like like me to email you pictures of them?

“Yes” I replied, no surprise. Then she says “I have a bunch of girdles as well, and I hate EBay, I’ll send those as well. We agreed that she would send a large group picture and I would tell her which ones I like. “Then I will send them to you, pick out what you like and send me back the rest with a check.

I worry that Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama will fight so much that they will end up losing the final election

I found a great new sight for false eyelashes—eeyelash.com. They had all the eyelashes I have been buying for $14 in Sephora for $5 or less.

But as I killed some time waiting for a friend to have coffee, I found myself in the Sephora in Boston.

I was looking at lipsticks in the “Makeup Forever” line they carry when a woman tunes to me and says “I love these eyelashes, but they are so expensive!”.

So I told her about eeyelash.com

I went to an anniversary party last night that was great fun. I was “over-served” at the open bar

There was a woman in her 40’s wearing a lovely long dress with a slit on the side, showing a good 6 -8 inches of her slip. Naturally I took notice.

I also liked the color of her hose. But a half hour later no slip was showing. Then I watched her walk over to another table, and I could see she had taken is off because I could see through her dress

Well another half hour later the slip was back on. I guess she decide s slip showing was better than everything showing.

Perosnally I liked the slip showing!
