DRESSED ON THE SET

“How come Gibbs is wearing a coat in Arizona in the summer?” I was talking to Garry. It was an NCIS rerun. We watch a lot of reruns because we forgot what happened even when we've seen it before. A lot of shows just aren't all that different from year to year, so why not? … Continue reading DRESSED ON THE SET

WORLD SHARING & A CONFESSION

Share Your World 3rd July I need to start this out with a confession. While trying to delete several hundred spam emails that turned up during the night, I apparently also deleted a bunch of messages that were NOT in spam. I clicked spam, but I got a mix of spam and actual APPROVED and often … Continue reading WORLD SHARING & A CONFESSION

THE LOST JOY OF POLYESTER

I was never a big fan of polyester and I don't wear suits, leisure or otherwise.

Fandango’s Provocative Question #125 This week, Fandango would like to know about our style. See that old lady wearing baggy jeans and a tee shirt?

THE LOST JOY OF POLYESTER

Life in Leisure Suits Back in the 1970s, some clown decided that men were overdressed and need stretchy, comfortable clothing. And thus they invented the polyester leisure suit and to his immense embarrassment, Garry had one. I never saw it, but I know he bought it because he said so and what man would lie … Continue reading THE LOST JOY OF POLYESTER

DRESSED TO KILL? – Marilyn Armstrong

Garry used to be the best dresser in Boston. He spent a fortune on clothing. He loved looking good. His father was a tailor and for him, a suit that fit perfectly was like a hot sports car -- and he had one of them, too. Did I mention his 1969 hot orange convertible Challenger? … Continue reading DRESSED TO KILL? – Marilyn Armstrong

LOCKDOWN FASHION FAVORITES – Marilyn Armstrong

Once upon a time in a world that has vanished, we dressed to look good. To other people. Remember "other people"? You know. Company for dinner? Visitors for the weekend? Hanging out in the afternoon with friends? How about a friendly conversation with a complete stranger? Yes, those things used to happen, but no more. … Continue reading LOCKDOWN FASHION FAVORITES – Marilyn Armstrong

MY CLOSET IS WAY BEYOND SIMPLE CLEARING OUT – Marilyn Armstrong

I read Jan Wilberg's post about closet cleaning. I realized that I moved well beyond basic closet cleaning. I need professional help. I need a squad of strong men and women armed with big, strong plastic bags who will march into my home. Preferably armed. They will go to my closet, pushing me aside. Even … Continue reading MY CLOSET IS WAY BEYOND SIMPLE CLEARING OUT – Marilyn Armstrong
