Like The Messenger, Not The Message

Most of my friends know that I am NOT a fan of country music.  I will listen to the occasional blue grass, but hard core country music - no thanks.  I don't own a pick up truck, I don't have a cowboy hat (but I admit I DO have the boots).  However, I have recently noticed that the ladies of country really know how to dress.

Faith Hill is coming to Spokane, and I hope she brings THIS dress.  Now, don't get me wrong - I know I could NEVER pull this look off, mostly because I'm not a Size 0.  But I would LOVE to have the opportunity.  I even think I could maneuver on those shoes.  Not for long, but long enough.

 Of course, there's always Shania Twain - - - 

MAN - She Looks Like A Woman
I know I'd look like an overstuffed sausage in this one - but that doesn't stop me from wanting to try it on

In spite of my opening remarks, I admit I have rocked out to MAN I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN while getting dressed on more than one occasion.  In fact, it is the opening song on my "Getting Ready To Go Out" playlist. 

It seems like the Ladies of Country have taken the lead in Fashion away from Hollywood -- at least from SOME Hollywood ladies.

And once again I say it -- oh, if I could pull off wearing THIS wine-colored wonder.  Don't get me wrong - I am happy with how I look.  Differences make the world a special place - that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors. I also wish these fashions were made in my size.  (Maybe if I stayed AWAY from Baskin Robbins!)

Oh well, stay safe and pretty, Sweeties!

He Made My Day!

  I had a few hours to get out this afternoon, and I was looking forward to it, especially since I don't care two bits about "sports ball".  So I got all dolled up in my best weather appropriate outfit - black tights and pumps, black pencil skirt, hot pink top and 3/4 sleeve jacket.  I added a coat, grabbed my bag and headed out. Absolultley nothing to report initially -- a stop at the ATM, then Dollar Tree (Always Panty Liners pack of 40 for $1.25 - who can resist!), Walmart (needed some make up) and then a snack.  It turns out the closest eattery of my choice (Perkins) is closed!  Gone!! Kaput!!!  Too bad, the staff there were ALWAYS friendly and complimentary. So I went to the next closest - Denny's. I was in the mood for pie and coffee, so Denny's it is. I walked in, it wasn't too busy, and the server at the counter was cashing someone out and said he'd be right with me. He was a late 20's guy named Daniel. He took me to a booth ("Is a booth O...

Out and About -- FINALLY!

Image
  After FAR too long of being restricted to dressing for a limited time and only at home, I was able to get out on the town this weekend.  I had some adventures and I will try to keep them interesting (no guarantees, Sweeties). So let's get this show on the road! I started out on Saturday, getting some breakfast at my favorite eattery (for breakfast, that is) They have the BEST breakfast buffet I got to my table, and the server approached me and asked "Coffee AND water?" I told her just coffee, and she said, "I tried to remember. Welcome back." Wow! Service worthy of a good tip. I then went to Costco to pick up half a dozen items, and when I got to the self-checkout my debit card was rejected.  REJECTED?? (I forgot that I had had a call from their Fraud Dept on Friday about a contested charge. It was a false charge, so they apparently put a block on my card.) ~~sigh~~ There is a branch of my credit union not to far away, so off I went to get the situation dealt ...

Down Memory Lane -- In Pumps

Image
Funny how a random comment or reference can trigger a memory. That happened to me this morning.   I was reminded of the Halloween in my Jr year of high school when I decided to be "a hooker" and enlisted the VERY willing help of a female friend, Alice. It was mostly her wardrobe, and I have vague memories of exactly what I was wearing. I went to her house the week prior to select the "costume". She had laid out 4 or 5 dresses for me to try.  The first one was perfect, but that didn't stop me from wanting to try on all the others. Her mother, who was assisting, commented that I was enjoying my little fashion show. Alice supplied the shoes as well - good thing we were the same size - and I told her I'd take care of the undergarments. Our town did a Halloween Parade during the day on Oct 31, and I had "marched" with 2 friends - we were The Marx Brothers handing out candy along the parade route. So that evening I had transformed from Groucho to a Lady ...
