Are men designing these clothes, do you think? If so, they must hate women.

Here's a new style we saw a LOT of Saturday night in Augusta, mostly worn by young women in their 20's and 30's.

Picture opaque white stocking cut off at the knees (only they aren't cut - they're made that way). Over that go some pretty ratting looking jeans, typically with sequins. Bulky belt.

Some kind of tight tee shirt hanging down. On top of the tee shirt is some kind of short sweater -- midriff length. Stiletto heels.

Now this sounds like it would be worn by tarts, right? But it's mainstream mom's in their 30's getting out of their Lexus SVU's. Saturday night I felt like I stepped into another world.

When I described that outfit, I should have been more clear.

The opaque stockings to to mid-calf. The jeans end just below the knees.

[Miss Marple]

I believe it. I looked at the designer stuff at Von Maur yesterday. Sheer t-shirts embellished with sequins, lots of crop pants with wide legs, and those short "shrug" sweaters which look horrible on anyone who isn't flat-chested.

I guess the clothing companies are going to have to do without our money this year.

And another thing...why can't you find a cocktail dress with SLEEVES? Grrrr.

[gulfcoast6]

You mean, you mean that the dresses are at ankle length anymore? Gracious, when did they change.

[lysie]

Hehe!! Sarah wants fish. She's buying. I don't have to cook.

Not only that, Greg took the day off and he will be going with her.

[gulfcoast6]

Sounds great, a night off for the lady. We go for our church wed night eating and service which starts at 6.

When I was a young lad I was a fisherman from the word go, fished the Mississippi river the lakes in the delta, catch catfish anywhere from a pound to 50 pounds' When I wasn't fishing I was getting frogs and hunting all the time in seasons for deer.(OK, maybe a dear everyonce in a while === pre marriage of course..

[lysie]

Men!! Just before Greg left I noticed his wallet on the dresser. I said, lovingly and sweetly, "don't forget your wallet." He and Sarah left and just now he came barreling in to get his wallet.

He said, "I never listen to you, I never listen to you." LOL Ya gotta love him!!

[lysie]

On TV I have seen some of the catfish you mentioned. Huge!

[Peach]

At least he says he should listen to you!

My husband has been forgetting his wallet a lot in the last 2-3 years and I always tell him "Don't listen to the wife or anything sensible like that."

[Peach]

That's what they're called -- shrugs. I couldn't remember. shrug

I've had that problem too with finding cocktail dresses with sleeves. Thank goodness when my stepson got married 4 years ago (or yikes, maybe it was 5), I was able to find a floor length dress with a bolero jacket.

We have a neighbor who makes clothing and has her own store. I might have her price out some simple A-line dresses with cap sleeves and a boatneck, nothing fancy. I'm desperate.

...........and continuing in prayer.................

[gulfcoast6]

I bet if ya'll dressed in sack clothes you all would be beautiful.

[lysie]

Very nice and I join you.

[Peach]

(((Toby))) You're a doll.

My night for Altar Guild so I have to scoot.

[lysie]

That reminds me of Lucy episode when Lucy and Ethel wanted designer clothes and Ricky and Fred set them up with the help of a designer. They made them think potato sacks and horse hats were fashion.

Remember?

[MozartLover]

I remember. They were in Paris, right?

Hilarious.:)

[prairiebreeze]

He said, "I never listen to you, I never listen to you."

At least he's honest. LOL!

Wow, I'm getting finish up work from our contractors done around here like crazy this afternoon. Final punch list stuff that they'd procrastinated finishing and for which we'd held back some of our payment until completion.

One of the things on that punch list was a re-washing of the back windows because the tilers had gotten them dirty after they were washed the first time. I'm going to have nice clean back windows and will now do the front two myself.

[prairiebreeze]

We're going to that church presentation on islam tonight. Should be interesting.

[gulfcoast6]

Must have missed that one...that is funny.

Had wonderful visit over weekend with daughter-child and then got good news yesterday when we went for second opionion. Doc we saw thinks I can tolerate a chemo drug he will recommend to our doc. Will find out Friday if doc willing to take recommendation.

Still awaiting birth of son's son ... our grandchild #6, his 2nd kidling.
