I love old movies. Have you ever noticed how glamorous people look in them? I long for those days. I’m sorry, but it would be nice to go out with a stunning hat, holding your gloves as you knock ‘em dead. Oh, and traveling with those adorable little cosmetic cases? (Dooney & Bourke has one – yep, I bought it.) Could one be any more… Myrna Loy? And no, I don’t have luggage with those tacky rollers on them you need for flying today. Fact is, I don’t fly. Face it, I’d open my big fat mouth and insult one of those brain dead security people and cause an international incident and end up either shot or in jail.
Ingrid Bergman was magnificent when Bogey put her on that plane from Lisbon. She was wearing a hat and gloves and carrying a little bag. Bogey was iconic in his Fedora and trench coat. That was romance. Today’s Bergman would be wearing hip-hugging jeans, spaghetti strap T, bra straps showing, and her boobs bouncing up and down, navel (with ring) exposed, and toddling around in stiletto mules. Her bag would be a Juicy backpack. He would have on jeans, cowboy boots, baseball cap, and a T-shirt. Now, you really want to know why movies aren’t as good as they once were? Where is the romance, where is the glamour?
Do you really think that exposed navel with the cute little ring is attractive? I know it is style, but nothing is tackier than T-shirts and limp bra straps, with your boobs hanging out all over the place. Yes, it attracts men and that’s the name of the game, but just what are the limits of style? When do we say enough? Yeah, I know, when people start going around half-naked. Wait a minute, they already are!
Little tidbit that will keep the biddies at church and the garden club from shredding you. You only wear white shoes between Easter and Labor Day. No exceptions. They tried the ‘winter white’ for a while, but it went nowhere fast. No white shoes after Labor Day and before Easter – get it?
