And the word of the day is: PHOBOSOPHY!
So your eyes got bad when Keith retired?
But maybe it's just my niece who has not been schooled about thieves and prisoners.
Off to see if I can get 50 pages read in Du Bois' "Souls of Black Folks." Class work begins.

Somewhat tangentially related, I just watched my review copy of THE GREAT DEBATERS last night. I was unexpectedly deeply, deeply moved. I highly recommend this film to everyone. Extremely touching and very well done.
I used ot have a Laura Ashley dress...
Another big name was Jessica McClintock
Guess Jeans were huge and yes I still have a pair! They are a lovely shade of pink!
Granny boots were big also in the 1980s
DH is taking me out to dinner and a movie.
We are going to see The King's Speech. It has finally opened here. I am looking forward to it.
I am curious to know if the Queen had any reaction to the movie being done about her father.
Ihave a hard time finding dresses that fit properly because I am terribly short waistedOne of my problems with Laura Ashley was the dresses tended to be high waisted & more fitted on the top.
Peasant blouses with a flowing skirt and boots were big also.
Prairie blouses with the lege of mutton sleeve were huge also
I hope Adriana teases her hair...
Mall Hair was HUGE back then
I can. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=250751879897&si=72avfUXyd8ZgVWdeqr0xrXoMRVo%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT#ht_602wt_1141
I think I was dressing preppy in the 1980s
Bruce please do not put your heroine in padded shoulders again. Some of her clothes go beyond fun vintage.

That would be in the later 80's?
I wore big bow barretts in my hair which seemed to be back in style this summer.

Hey, I used to wear padded shoulders all the time

I pulled most of mine out. Would you want to wear them again? Those women's suites from the 40's with the huge shoulder pads tended to me truly unflattering, IMHO.

There are a variety of Dirndl style dresses. The only one I remember wearing is a jumper dress style & that was way before the eighties. Which one are you referring to?

I still have some sweaters and jackets that have them. Not big ones, but small ones - you don't really notice them. I take a lot of them out, but some look ok.

The dress I'm talking about is the one in the link. There aren't several, there's one. Early 1970s.
Leg warmers
My major '80s wardrobe memory is maternity clothes and I sure hope Adrianna doesn't need THOSE!
Ginny it sounds like your trip is off to a good start. :)
I think there were a lot of different looks in the 80s depending on where you were and what you were doing
Glad to hear DR GINNY and CO have arrived at her destination.
When will football season end?

Just finished watching my review copy of LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST and now have an inexplicable urge to see PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. ;)It's all too explicable. I felt the same way when I saw "Fanciulla" for the first time.
As for dirndls... I have nothing to contribute to this discussion.Ditto. Except my mother has an authentic German one.

I don't think that anything Paula Deen makes will be on Ginny's cardiac diet.

You are probably correct.
DR Jane - thanks for the reminder. Fortunately, I've been following this new eating strategy long enough that good choices are coming pretty naturally. And we checked out the hotel fitness center on the way in from dinner and our walk ;)

No.
I always heard if you kept your eyes open when you sneeze they would pop out. Not that I believed it, but that's what I was always told

I heard that, too. From a guy in a mental hospital. He also said that he invented those posters that are one big picture made up of a bunch of tiny little pictures. He was about six when those were invented.
Sandra says I'm not here. But I really am.That's too existential for a Saturday night.

Shoulder pads scare me
I agree. Leopard spots are swell.
