Julie - Out and About

Heading out to the party She's a gymnast - can you tell? Julie's new Friend - Jennie The Birthday Girl Walking home on a cloud     Stay safe and pretty, Sweeties!

For my 60th Blog Post, I have an event to share.  I am currently in a show far away from home.  One of our cast members wanted to celebrate her birthday with a theme party -- Femme Fantasy.  She asked us all to come dressed in our best Femme persona.  Well, I was in heaven!  But I hadn't brought any "Julie Stuff" with me, so I had to cobble together not just an outfit, but hair, foundations and make up too. Not bad for a quickly put together look I went to the party knowing full well that the question would probably pop up - "You're looking so wonderful, have you done this before?"  Well, it did.  One gal in particular was very interested in who Julie is and said she'd like to spend more time with her. (squeeee!) The party itself was fun . . . . . . if not a little fuzzy!  But a good time was had by all - especially THIS girl. Some times stepping out into unknown territory can bring about new rewards and new friend...

"Here's to the Ladies who lunch . . . everybody rise!"  I am headed out of town for 2 months (actually, at this posting, I am already out of town) so we tried to have a Sister Friends get together before I hit the trail. Coordinating schedules proved to be difficult this time round, so instead of a night on the town, we did brunch. Now this wouldn't be such a big thing if it weren't for the fact that I've never gone out in a bunch during the daylight hours, let alone been in a restaurant while the sun is shining.  But they say there's safety in numbers, and I always feel safe with these ladies, so we went. The Ladies of Sister Friends - the number keeps growing! The hardest decision was - as usual - what to wear!  The week prior I had selected a number of outfits, narrowed it down to 3 by Friday night, and then finally selected one early Saturday morning.  I did feel slightly over dressed in hose and heels but I didn't care - I was very...

As I sit and ponder my next blog entry, I realize that since my weight loss over the last 8 months (10 pounds so far) I have not tried on my body con dress that WAS rather tight on me. (Honestly, it made me feel like a sausage!)  So,  into the closet I went to check it out. Hmmm . . . Well . . . Seems like it fits better now, but I'm still not sure. What do YOU think????  Stay safe and pretty, Sweeties.

Got to spend a week out of town on a job - again. Same little town in Eastern WA, same limited opportunities to get out while dressed, but 2 wonderful events helped set this trip apart from all previous ones. My work day ended by 7PM at the latest - sometimes earlier.  There are only 2 places to go in Chehalis "after hours" -- Denny's and Applebee's.   Tonight I felt like a glass of wine, so . . .  I approached the bar section, which is what I usually do here since interaction with civilians increases when sitting at the bar than in a booth.  I no sooner planted my butt on the stool when I saw a man emerge from the restroom.  A man that I had been working with most of the day! (full disclosure - my job this week has been in male mode and no one involved with it knows of my "after hours" hobby) All it took was looking thru my purse to keep my face slightly hidden from him, and he passed by me without a second look.  Which made me feel both relieve...

Forgive me for not mentioning this at an earlier time. But upon careful research and in depth examination of the records -- I have come to the discovery that I have been writing this blog for 2 years!! (And BOY, am I tired!)(no??) There haven't been too many activities that I have maintained for 2 years -  not the least being something that requires fairly regular attention and creativity.  So, in honor of reaching this milestone . . .  Happy Anniversary To Me! Now - down to business . . . .  Had another day out recently with my dear dear Sister Friend Linda as we engaged in one of our favorite activities - Shopping!  Outfit for the day - with new "quail color" leggings!  I had a goal (2 actually, but was happy to accomplish one of them) of adding 2 pair of shoes to my closet.  Not just ANY shoes, either,  CHEAP shoes!  With Payless Shoe Source closing up, we hit 2 different locations as I hunted for a pair of bl...

It was a while in coming, but Linda and I finally got in our morning of Thrift Stores!  She was on a mission - had to exchange a cami and was looking for jeans.  I went along to be chauffeur and, --- well, I mean - c'mon! It was a chance to go thrift shopping!!  "Where to now, Mum?" She found what she was looking for, and I found something I never thought I'd be looking for. As I have stated in previous blogs, I am a skirt and dress kinda gal.  I mean, why wear pants when I can wear skirts, right?  Well, I spotted a gorgeous pant suit that I fell in love with.  Yup, this dyed in the wool "petticoat gal" tried it on.  Linda said it was perfect - and who am I to argue with her!   The white top seems to go well Personal preferences (and necessities) require a long sleeve top with it, and this white one was the best I had on hand.  Hmmm, maybe I need to go shopping again to find a better top for the outfit? ...
