Favorite Outfits

Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a foot stool, Fabiola has something to say.

Flying Carpets, Ruby Slippers, Horses with Wings and Magic Rings, Fabiola believes with all her heart, she believes in all of these things. But more powerful than any of those others, is the perfect outfit. Oh, don't laugh. Wearing the perfect outfit is pure joy.

Fabiola recalls her very first perfect outfit, she was 8 years old. The outfit? Yellow elephant bell knit poly pants with an elastic waistband and a light pink knit poly mid sleeve shirt decorated all over with dark pink, bright yellow and orange dots. Sublime ice cream colors in stretchy no iron completely man made fibers.

It wasn't the double-knit, It was the colors. It was the way that the huge bells on the bottom of the pants swung with every stylish step.

It was before Fabiola discovered cashmere.

Do you remember a perfect outfit? How did it make you feel?

Why Marriages Lasted Longer Back When

It is a known fact that marriages lasted longer in the fifties and sixties because of' women's foundation garments.
Not talking about that whole male, visual, keep him interested lingerie hogwash. I mean, make the clothes look good rubber and steel pallet strapping monstrosities that kept us cinched in and hoisted up in a way that only Rube Goldberg could have imagined, girdles. Worked like a twitch does on a horse when you are trying to saddle them for the first time. The best way to distract a creature from something unpleasant is to have them wear something worse. My take on the subject.
