Update: We'e finally had some cold days so I put on my entire Homage to the Red Hat Society poodle outfit and rolled to yet another doctor's appointment. Did the appointment, the nurses in his office adored the whole poodle thing and rolled out. Got on the elevator and (I kid you not, this happened but I can't hear on a cell phone so I don't have one and I haven't owned a camera in decades) at the next stop a gorgeous African American lady got on the elevator and she was ALSO wearing the whole poodle thing, minus the saddle oxfords (yes, I sent her here to eBay). We grinned at each other and admired each other's look and at the next floor some more folks got on so the two of us were squished together.
At the next stop a little girl and parents got on the elevator and her eyes got so wide and she whispered "Mama I want one of those!" So Mama got sent to, of course, eBay because I know there are poodle skirts for little ladies as well.
Someone asked if we were in a group or something and in one voice, we said "No, we're twins (sisters)" THAT got some wide eyed stares since my hair is mostly white, I'm very anemic and pale and have blue eyes.
The two of us exchanged hugs at the last stop and wished all Happy Holidays. Yep, I'll be letting my inner poodle come out again to play. It's fun, it's warm and the skirt is long enough that I can safely get into my wheelchair from the truck without mooning anyone.
I really love eBay, problems and all because it is the SELLERS that are just that darn good. Merry Happy Insert preferred politically correct holiday here. You guys (and gals) are the best and have given me many happy hours as I've looked over all the site and read the boards.
“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size”
