I'm glad the clothing manufacturers have finally stopped making moms miserable trying to sell us their slutty fashions.
Sure you hate ponchos, so do I, but,,,, let her try one on, you might be surprized. She'll probably look so cute you might mull the thought of one over for yourself. You just never know! And using a poncho (or whatever they really want) as a reward is always good parenting. :-)
One trick I taught my now 24 year old was if it's ugly, try it on. I've been amazed at the stuff I thought "ick" about until I put them on.
Ok, climbing off soapbox now and securing it away! (you know, now I'm gonna have to try on a poncho! Rats, now this thread is a bust.) Back to politics.
Cute Buns?
Sure, go ahead and say it. I remember reporting after my first Bush Rally this year, when I was behind him,instead of infront or to the side, that our POTUS has an especially nice Tush for a man of his age.
As an American of Hispanic background, I do not wish to start wearing a "Zarape" again, LOL.
There's certainly no arguing with that!
Hillary's hellish voice came over my radio this morning telling FL voters we're all doomed. Doomed I tell ya!
Who do I have to pay to stuff a dozen socks in that witch's mouth?
I have always considered Chico's to be the GrrrAnimals for GrownUps.
Sounds like it would be good for sitting at the computer.
Good idea on the blanket turned poncho pollyshy! Your granddaughters will love ponchos for a present since they're all the rage. Prepare to be Queen Grandma!
Har.. good.. he also has wonderful legs in the few pix you see.
A few weeks ago in Kirkland when I got my hug/kiss from him I put my hand on his sholder & upper arm.. He is VERY firm & muscular.. (not in the "arnold" way - but no Mushy flesh!
we went the other way with them.. used them as lap covers & shawls.. esp was popular with the elderly relativews & folks at church.
We had a ladies guild "transformation" party in early 80's I recall, it being fun.
some of them were very attractive in addition to being useful..
just got a scare with Glenn's beck's last segment.. was afraid I would no longer listen.. those of you that heard, know what I mean.
I thought he was killing GWB's reelection for sure. Hope his first comments aren't used out of context
Cheers, everyone.
During the first go-round on the poncho, I was working in retail. Ponchos are mah-vel-ous garments if one tends towards kleptomania, and our security people earned their pay following poncho-clad ladies through the cosmetic department.
Oh dear,
I like the fluffy pink one!
I have to admit that ponchos look especially bad on short women with curves and short legs--- you tend to look like an army tent with feet.
HOWEVER--- I have seen a coupla really cute ones that are more like fine ribbon net, body clinging and not too bad--- but you still need long legs.
Is this year's theme going to be jammies and robes? Or maybe a takeoff of the Texas ball where everyone wears cowboy boots - only, of course, we will wear slippers.
Do we know the date of the Inauguration?
I'm having difficulty finding a gown for a reasonably fit almost 60 woman, with FAT arms.
I've found a pattern and will run down some ravishing fabric and make it myself if necessary.
I really wish I'd purchased that Black Tuxedo Dress from the Barrie Pace catalog even tho I had nowhere to wear it. Now that I'm hoping to have someplace to wear it, it's nowhere to be found.
That's not it. This one is sleeveless which is what I MUST avoid.
The one I want was all black with a black satin shawl collar. It is no longer available.
We love you in shoulder covers.
My shoulders aren't ready for this one.
Rats - back to the search...
