Good Morning on this first Tuesday in March. How are you? I am good. Mandy decided to make cookies last night prior to her going into Old Navy, being part time and 19 she gets the low level hour positions. I think her hours last night were 7:30 to 12:30 just after midnight. I guess on Monday’s Old Navy does a revamp of the isles of what ever, heck every time I have been in there it looks the same…shows you what I know about fashion. However, I am learning thanks to MSN today… the Five Rules of Fashion is on the tab also on msn. So the first rule pops up and shows this gal strutting down the runway in a 50’s style dress. Sort of reminded me of something June Cleaver would wear as the mom on Leave it to Beaver. Oh oh… be fore I forget, once you pop on the site the top line reads: THE FIVE FASHION COMMANDMENTS… oh please… so now someone has the tablet somewhere in hiding… ok on with “The Fashion Commandments” The first commandment states, Don’t take Runways Literally! Well heavens no! I have seen some of these so called fashion shows from all over the world, pictures, pictures mind you I would not be caught dead at a fashion show, the last fashion I ever went to was the year Jax was crowed Miss Coloma. They had to drag me there kicking and screaming… I think Bonnie waved cold beer in front of me on a string… like one would barter with a cat… So My fashion do’s and don’t rely on well, they don’t! So the tag line above tells you not to take runways literally. Thanks on that note, I was thinking about buying one of those sheer numbers and strutting my stuff…However, once we turn fifty does our stuff turn into a term called vintage? I really don’t know if strutting ones vintage is all that sexy… so we will move on to COMMANDMENT # 2
HONOR THY GRANNY, oh now the dress they show, they could not even bribe a model for it, it’s just sort of hanging there in midair…it so looks like a June Cleaver Dress… I better choose a new elderly model June Cleaver may take offense. So we should Honor the Granny wear…Peach Yellow brown and Blue in fat stripes…Not honoring that garment… Moving on to COMMANDMENT #3 (thank god there is only 5 Fashion commandments right?) ACCESSORIZE COYLY , oh this works.. it is a Purse gold chained, Gold trim chain and the softest looking pink bag I have ever seen I want it!... Whooops I mean I should buy it for Mandy… let’s see, .. it costs… HOLEY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $ 1650.00 who in their right mind would pay that kind of money to hide there personals and carry … things… in it… Well color me out I did not like that bag to begin with, and Noooooooo Mandy is not getting it… Moving on, COMMANDMENT #4 ( holey smokes I keep waiting for Lightning bolts to sheer my computer terminal into half… as I type… Commandment #4 …INVEST IN FASHION HEIRLOOMS, …Oh my god… they stole “FLY – EYES” from someone… those glasses are just too big to wear… It Looks like Maude is missing her glasses… and to pat 400 dollars for them… stick me with a pitchfork… Moving on I surely hope Fashion statement number 5 I Mean COMMANDMENT #5 is good… and it is: STAY IN THE KNOW… oh no…. I think it should have been stay and NO don’t buy this Jacket… it is Hideous. Oh it is so ghastly ugly… I just could hear the muffle as someone walks down the street… The WTF would be casting out in unison. The is one more Picture wait I will comment on that… but we have already reached 5… I wonder what it is… OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Now it makes since….the Fashion design magazine that put this whole thing on is no other then…. MARIE CLAIRE … holey smokes there the ones that had the Top 20 Men Don’ts out and only gave us 19… I think the 20th one should have been don’t look at our fashion ideas… except that dang Purse… that bag works… but not for 1650!!!! Oh well, Jeans and a Polo is going to be my motto for summer and when it gets to hot, Shorts and a T, and My youngest is an Old Navy employee so I will have plenty of each… there is my… fashion statement and No commandments harmed in this presentation… May you Tuesday be a fashionable one and it will be if you don’t take Marie Claire’s advice….
A huge hug and assorted pats
