The Free Shipping and Handling and the 5 ez pays ends tonight! Take advantage of it while you can. I have noticed most of my clothing is very broken in sizes and many are almost gone. All of the Sterling and Gold plate items are FS&H and have the ez pays too!
……………………After all of the fashion shows on both sides of the pond were over [the Atlantic Ocean for those who have never heard that expression “the Pond”], WWD would do round up stories of trends seen on all of the designer runways. I got the cover of “THE BEAUTIFUL BLOUSE……a trend that was happening that fall season in the mid 80s…..This silk blouse was completely pleated….sleeves and all….She is wearing a pleated leather cummerbund over a long black flowing wool crepe skirt and boots…The beautiful model is JOKO…..She was an exquisite beauty then…and……she is still an exquisite beauty with a beautiful family. You can’t tell from this photo, but Joko had beautiful long shoulder length black wavy hair…….She had a Audrey Hepburn beauty…..She still looks as if she just walked off the runway!
……………………………Happy Hanukkah to all my friends of the Jewish faith………………………………….
…………………I have no clue when or where this photo was taken……mid to late 80s?…..The photo has some damage so I thought I would post it before it got worse……I have been told in my younger days that I reminded some people of Jack Nicholson, or Tyrone Power, an actor from the golden days of Hollywood….Personally, I don’t see it, but everyone sees things differently. I certainly didn’t mind the comparison. They are both great actors……….I still wear the same sunglasses!
……………………..I am a firm believer that all things turn out as they were meant to be……My original plan was to spend Thanksgiving with friends in CT. I really didn’t want to travel by myself. My nephew Mathew invited me to his home, but my plans had already been made…..Two days before Thanksgiving my friends had to cancel the dinner because of Covid! I called my nephew and said, “do you have room at the table for one more!?” He said “sure Uncle Lou we are so happy that you can come”. I told him not to tell the rest of the family I was coming and I should be a surprise! They live in a beautiful area of Long Island on the north shore, Cold Springs Harbor…….Needless to say everyone was shocked and happy I was there. I was the last piece to the puzzle of our family. My brother Mauro, my SIL Kathy, my niece Jeanine, my nephew Chris and his girlfriend Danielle, Danielle’s son Nick, Matty and his partner Michelle, and me made up the party…….Everyone made something and brought it. I made Jac’s Ginger cookies and her receipt for Wild Rice. It all came out delicious. The turkey was cooked to perfection by my nephew Matty. It was his first time making a turkey which was wrapped in bacon. He watched several videos on You Tube on how to cook and slice it! He was like a surgeon! Chris made two types of potatoes, classic mashed, and country style with lots of good things in it. They also brought a string bean casserole…….My SIL made sweet potatoes with marsh mellows, a corn dish and cranberry sauce. My neice made stuffing and the chocolate cream pie……We also had a ham and other things I can’t remember. Later we had desert, apple pie, chocolate cream pie, pumpkin pie and pecan pie… plus my cookies….To wash it down I brought Dom Perignon Champagne to celebrate! It was the first time we were all together since Covid……..We had a marvelous time……We drank a lot, and we ate a lot. One of the best Thanksgivings ever.
