You guys look like you should be in a street fashion spread for a mag! I mean even the background was like location-scouted!

p.s. I see you share my pain of being the shortest one in the family. I wish the was plastic surgery for height....

Thanks!

And thank you for acknowledging this struggle. It's h a r d lecturing my children while they look down on me, my neck hurts 😂

Happy birthday @GreenTealael. You know the most beautiful people are born in July but I am a wee bit biased...mine’s next week. 😁

Oh yeah being the shortest in the family has its challenges. I have to stand on a chair to get a hug from my two oldest nephews. They’re 6’4 & 6’6.

Speaking of big hair...(I probably personally funded the hair spray industry that year!)

Did you use the big black can of Schwarzkopf Silhouette hair spray? I swear that stuff had super glue in it. We probably contributed more to the depletion of the ozone layer than manufacturing does today 🤣.

Actually, my spray of choice was AquaNet with helping of pomade at the roots 😂😂.

Carried a can of it everywhere I went (and we are talking full-size, not travel size!) along with a ridiculous amount of makeup and a tease comb.

How I miss those gaudy days. Sigh.

...and perms!

P.S. Sorry, ozone layer!

Thank you! Wow those prices are unbelievable!

Happy belated birthday, GT! Posies for the new you birthday celebration... Here are those terrific finds. Two quality cotton sweat shirts + windbreaker for under $28.00 from Macy's. All size extra small.

Just picked up these slacks and crop top at the seamstress. 5 foot me ALWAYS needs alterations. ;[

Will need the appropriate shoes and accessories in time...

Loving these new linen Bermuda shorts and cotton cool tops for humid Florida summers. 95 today. And, Yay, this time last summer July 14, 2019 I weighed 171. Today, I weigh 115. I have not worn shorts since WLS. I feel much cooler and lighter on my feet this summer then previous ones. So pumped!

I loved the smell of Taft. Mmmmmm. Oh & perms. I had wild ones where my hairdresser would mix sizes of rollers & folded pieces in foil to get zig zags. I remember an old codger asking me once if there was a tornado outside because of how big & wild my hair was LOL!

Just gorgeous @Sophie7713. All that colour. You’re so much braver than me 😁

Met my aunt & cousin for lunch today. Ended up tucking my stretch leather pants into my boots after seeing the bunching at the ankles in this pxt. Chilly in Brisbane today, so wore two layers of wool - a long line cardigan belted over a high necked fitted top.

Funny seeing @Sophie7713 in short sleeves & shorts & @GreenTealael in a strappy dress when I was seriously considering wearing gloves with my all my layers yesterday. Brrrr.

Plus it’s muggy AND humid AND raining here today. Boo.

Heading out to go grocery shopping though.

The cargo pants belong to the the Kid. She’s been pinching clothes from my closet lately, so I’m returning the favour.
