What are you wearing today??

dinerman, what model of car is that behind you, and i love the 40's cap its amazing looking.

 

[Dinerman]

Thanks- there's just no one who seems to be able to replicate those original caps properly. The car is a 1935 Ford.

Here is one with my daughter Mary Elizabeth, and her pup - she calls him Jackson (after Fort Jackson, where we got him) and I call him Stumpy (because of his short legs). M.E. is smiling really big 'cause she now has not only a dog, but a "Droid" phone - that is what one gets when one brings home straight A's on her Honors classes!!

Here is a swinging bridge across the Tuckaseegee River, between Sylva and Bryson City, NC - I have passed it a thousand times in the past 47 years, but had never stopped before today. About a dozen leaf-lookers had stopped as well, and one of them kindly snapped my pic.

Thanks.

If you're bigger than me, then you must be really big. I'm 6'-6" and 360 lbs. Some people have said that my picture weighs two pounds and that anyone who would shine my shoes for a quarter would paint a battleship for a dollar.

We weigh the same, but I'm 5'9". <whimper>

I'm working on remedying that, but it was so much easier and so much more fun putting the weight ON....

You look lovely Miss sofia! Is that your shop? It looks very interesting!

 

[Miss sofia]

Thanks Missis! Yes it is an interesting little bat-cave. It's 15tth century, stupidly low ceiling, hence the space-age, silver padded beams. (High visibility dontcha know). We had so many people knocking their heads on the beams it was ridiculous. Even with signs up!

 

[Miss Golightly]

Miss Sofia - you're looking fabulous!

Your shop looks like the kind of place I would love - loads of quirky things to look at and you never know what you'd find!

 

[Miss sofia]

Thanks Miss G - I think i look a bit like i'm in man drag, i'm not used to tucking all my hair away!

The shop is very quirky, it's quite random, but we wanted people to feel relaxed and feel they can have a good rummage! (Me included, that's a perk of the job!). The luggage scales behind me someone left out in the rubbish next door!

Ooh I love old buildings like that! My house is a very small 17th century two up, two down with conservatory and bathroom built on the side (not an outside privvy mind!)

 

[Miss sofia]

Nowt wrong with an outside privy love! Bit of Izal medicated loo roll and you're away! Your house sounds lovely.

Thanks honey!

 

[lolly_loisides]

Miss Sofia, you look great & that coat looks lovely & warm, are they astrakan collars & cuffs?

 

[Miss sofia]

Thanks Lolly. They are indeed! It's actually a fifties coat, but it kind of works i think, as you can stand the collar up and it's astrakhan on both sides, which is neat. A dear friend of mine gave it to me, as it was her late Mum's, soi'm a lucky girl!

I'll be returning to my usual 40's/50's style, so i'll be good and try and post some pics!

Before my running around today, it was about 80 degrees, so the lighter colors are on me...!

So, you're not an Oxford man, then?

I really like those trews. If you'd said "pink trousers" to me I'd have questioned it, but those really work with your outfit.
