How vain are you?

If you walked into a cemetery office and the chick behind the counter had a rack exposed like a porn star, trust me, you'd notice!! There are certain industries in which personal modesty is for the respect of the clients coming in and not for yourself.

Momine, that is a VERY sexy picture!!! It's quite evident what those two will be doing later (or when her cigarette is finished...hmm, maybe this is the "after"shot? No, silly me, he's still pawing at her!) And as for yours Mel...the classic doctor/nurse couple?? Put a pitchfork in his hand and it's the American Dream.

TwinMamaHeather - I have used up a jar of Erase Paste, I mix with a little moisturizer. I also have the Maybelline Age Erase and like it too.

Love the pictures.

Selena - what are Cuban Heels in pantyhose?

Selena, learn something new every day!

Yeah, had to be a man for both. I said for about 5-6 years that when a man allows his penis to get squashed I'd go for a Mamo. Forgot one thing. They don't get cancer there. Now I don't have anything to do a Mamo with. 

Selena - who knew there were different seams for hose? Right Yorkie the things we learn. Hmm - where can I practice that knowledge or astound with it? Love that your honey was a lingerie man. Just one question - how high do you have to set your heat to wear that stuff or do you generate your own heat?

Sunny - I bought Erase Paste at Ulta. Bet Sephora would sell it - a Benefit product. I still wear pantyhose or tights to church. Not that pants are frowned on or apropos but I rarely find any that fit right. I have one pair of black pants nice enough to wear there. Also have trouble justifying expense of much more with my lifestyle. Also I have the world's ugliest legs - never had pretty skin even as a youngun. I have a couple pair of the capri/cropped pants for summer - would not be caught dead in shorts out of house. Well, when we go to OK 2x/year esp. in Sept. might be nec. to not fall over dead in heat stroke but otherwise NO and these are old friends all my age or older.

The last time I wore hose was, well, only 4 months ago, when  DH was given an award for academic research at his university. Before that it was 2207 at my mom's funeral. I tend to wear knee highs with pants or long skirts. My spinal/nerve issues are such that I cannot bend down and struggle with hose any more. Maybe that will get better, I hope, as I am doing intensive physical therapy right now.

Oh wow! I remember my Mother wearing those stockings and looking sensational. I have worn seams on occasion, to events, remember the Lady Di version with the tiny bow at the ankle? 

Mellissa, great photo of your Grandparents too!

Hi Bobo, so glad I could give you rainbows! Enjoy!

LOVE the heels in pantyhose!! I did not know about them either! I would say I was sheltered here in Canada, but Selena lives near me so I can't plead that. I don't wear pantyhose anymore because of bulges in the backs of my legs. Went to a specialist who does veins, but he said they looked like tumours. I walked out. 

I do wear patterned tights (black so far). LOVE them!! They make me feel girly. They seem to fit looser than pantyhose as they are easier to pull up but I still have to sit down or lean against a wall. It's been tough in some bathrooms and I've almost started to cry, but I get it done.

Anyone else cry in a change-room because they can't get something off (NOT because they looked in the mirror)? I've had to text my DH to help me...sigh. I still have restrictions on my left arm (SNB) from over 5 years ago. Normally I can get around it, but if I try on something without any stretch I pretty much need assistance removing the garment.

My DH used to buy me lingerie before my DBMX.....never since. Here I am the night before my surgery in 2008 showing me "donating" my useless items.....

bobogirl,

I may be going out on a limb here, but momine might not have heard the term snark as it is rather newish slang. Momine is not a native English speaker (though her English is amazing) nor does she live in the US.  

Caryn

snark= this thread LOL.  When you send a snarky email I refer to that as a snark-o-gram.  I actually like hose- I know I am a child of the 60s and my daughter would not be caught dead in hose but still hates her legs- I think they accentuate the positive and tone down the negative.  I also really like textured/patterned tights and such too.  I am always cold so another reason for liking hose is your legs are warmer LOL. 

Momine- I love that picture of your grandparents- it looks like something from a movie.  People dressed a lot less casually and clothes were much better made too.  

Wyo, no kidding about the well-made clothes and more "proper" dressing, for better and worse. As kids, we would always ask grandpa (the one in the picture) how old his suit was (whatever suit he was wearing). He would make a show of looking in the lining, where his tailor embroidered the year the suit was made. He had suits that were decades old. He always wore a suit when working and going out, tux for more formal occasions (even at home, like New Year's and grandma's birthday party). His "casual" wear consisted of neatly pressed jeans (I remember when he got the first pair and thought it was quite daring) with an oxford shirt, ascot and sport coat, and loafers, of course.

WYO, here's where they were setting up a hospital in a 1587 Spanish Church in San Marcus in the Phillipines. They had to scrape 7truckloads of bat guano off the floor to make it habitable

Well, Barbe, since Granddad lived to 98 and was one of the ones doing the scraping and had no respiratory problems I guess they did fine.

barbe - smiled at your picture.  I used to wear Olga Minimizer underwires ( I had large, pendulous "knockers") and after while recovering from BLM, I cut out all the underwires, and saved them, threw the other stuff away.  Still haven't used all the underwires, but it makes an interesting mobile ;-)  Painted, all colors acrylic, beads hanging, glitter paint.  Celebration.

Weather report, there is a roof on the basement part of this little cabin, which extends out past the main room windows, so when the roof gets covered with SNOW, and it's windy, as it is now, the SNOW is up to the MIDDLE of the main room windows.  Tee, hee...and snow drifted up against glass door which opens OUT ( main wooden door opens in) so it's wedged closed.  THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT.  I love it.  When the snow plow person comes to plow, he'll shovel the snow from the door so I can get out.  Not a danger, cuz in emergency I could always open a window and get out.  Literally a winter wonderland, and blessed to be living a Saturday Life ( which is what we all call being happily retired) plenty of art supplies, hundreds of books ( literally) and electricity, LIFE IS GOOD.  Too much drifting to say how much snow, but all the stones walls on the property are covered.  JOY.  Life in the hilltowns of western MA.
