How do you dress and what are you trying to tell the world by your manner of dress?

[Weiß]

I do indeed have the black one

Thank you for remembering
That's what I wore to Morrissey at the Hard Rock in Vegas on the recent tour, and what I wore to Dave Gahan and Duran Duran in Chicago.

The apartments are driving me crazy, but I knew they would for the short term. They always do until I can get them running the way I want. Newest pain was the insurance bill I got Friday. Seems the $6,000 I paid for insurance before the closing *doesn't* include liability insurance (in case someone breaks a leg and sues me). My $1,000,000 liability policy on the other buildings doesn't cover the new one, either. So I have to cough up another $1,600 even as two more apartments become vacant next month. That's putting a squeeze on me. The $70,000 I had prior to closing is evaporating fast. But alchemy isn't easy.

Thanks, lgdac. As it happens, I won't be moving as far away as I thought.
I didn't know about the gas prices going up, though.

Totally agree, Chill. Most clothes in the larger sizes resemble something worn by The Weather Girls. Jeans, Docs and a t-shirt have always been my trade attire. I don’t feel comfortable in a skirt, and the last time I wore a dress was perhaps when I was 9.

I love being out in the sun and in the water so I know when I get older it's going to catch up with me and I'm going to look a lot older. In the summer I'm in the water for hours. I wear foundation with Sunscreen now and 45 when I lay out but when I was in High School I wore sunscreen the first few days and once I had that base tan didn't bother. I know I'm going to pay for it later so I'm hoping Botox goes down in price by then.

I asked him and he said "thats Mindy's G-gf I know who that is! and he named movies that he was in.

Are you going to get the metal one?I don't even bother with watches anymore. The batteries run out and I always forget the paper with the number on it.

I don't know how I remembered that! That's pretty sad. Probably because it's such a cool shirt. 2 weeks ago Comcast had a Duran Duran concert, followed by Dave Gahan, and then Tori Amos.

Well, I guess the good news is that your probably not in the flood zone. My Mom has rental properties so I understand what your going through.

LOL, It is like that, but if anyone can do it you can!

As your ever-faithful Scottish/London correspondent, Chill, I feel it is my duty to impart to you the sad news that the Doc superstore in Covent Garden, London is no longer with us.
Not a profitable concern , it seems, and it has gone the way of the dodo.

This is Patrick McCann, for Chill News, in central London.

Thanks Pat. *lights a candle for the Doc superstore*

I haven't worn a skirt since September, Bluebles, although we call it a 'kilt'.

That's not quite true though, because in the winter I simply pull on a pair of longjohns over it, then tuck my four t-shirts, moz shirt (of course), and arran jumper into them and secure them firmly around my chest with a piece of rope.
So I'm still wearing my kilt, but it's only seen by the luckiest bird who manages to pull me.
The competion, as you will understand, is fierce.

 

[Bluenose]

Re: I'm pretty boring.

Yeah, I noticed that when I briefly left sophistication behind for a weekend in London last summer. I didn't stay very long in Covent Garden. Rather over-rated if you ask me. Full of "street artistes" or "crusty chancers" to the rest of us selling tat to gulliable tourists.

Thankfully the Doc shop in Manchester is still going strong. I'll be spending me Chrimbo money in there come January.

Second time eh? So what was the first, pray tell?

Sk.

 

[Bluenose]

I believe my pussy impression was directed at Banging 'em Dave on Friday.

As you probably gathered on Friday Unc, I am very shy so wouldn't do it in public.

BTW, will do that tape for you over the next day or so.

OH Great! I was going to go there first, and to that great Austrian bar that serves German beer, and then I was going to say hi to Tony Blair. Now I might as well cancel my entire trip. If only I would have gotten there sooner with my list I would have been able to save it. I'm dialing....
....luckily the line is busy over at virgin atlantic.

 

[Bluenose]

Aw, your piccie didn't work

Sort it out LGDaC or Paddy will get confused again.

Honestly, come up to Manchester. We can go Doc shopping, we can get lost in Affleck's Palace and you can experience the Star and Garter.

OH no, we can't have that! It worked in the preview. let me try again.

sounds great. It looked like you guys had a great time at the Star and Garter. If Covent Gardens doesn't like my plastic, maybe Manchester would. It would be well worth the rental car.

Thanks for the link. She's kinda goofy looking. Also, I knew about the Shannen Doherty thing. I bet she's hopping mad. No wonder she kicked Paris's ass a few months ago. Haha.
