Minutiae here, minutiae there
Hearing all the news about air travel makes me just not want to fly but I have destinations planned. UGH! There is LA and Chateau Marmont, NYC to see family and meet up with new friends, then there are returns to Philadelphia for record stores, hoagies and to see friends, then always Vegas and I've been hearing about Nova Scotia and how it's cool this time of year.... I hope to make it to at least three of these places soon. In the meantime, it's very hot here.
Neckties and pantyhose are becoming extinct I heard. The problem here is comfort and aesthetics. Those thin, silk mid-century neckties are awesome. I think they look great on a man and personally, I can't trust a man who doesn't own at least five neckties. They make a guy look dashing. Whenever I come across a thin, vintage necktie, I buy it, take it to the cleaners then give it to my husband. My Sweetie wears them well. Because they are thin and made from silk, they aren't uncomfortable. Yes, per him.
Pantyhose, what a disgusting image that conjures up, seamed stockings or nylons are much better. To see women wearing pumps without anything between their feet and the closed toe shoe, it looks icky to me. Flats are different but I have a mental block when it comes to those closed toe shoes on a 2 inch heel. At the same time, pantyhose (YUK) have become such unattractive contraptions. Totally not sexy. Hanging out of their packaging at the store they look so gross, then advertise having tummy control and binding stuff like that. I can't imagine how anyone can feel normal wearing them. Still, I think there is a need, so why not keep the bring back the seamed stocking or the nylon. The Cuban heel seam was especially cool. Nylons and garters
Vintage Nylons
Watched Lost in America...man, that's a funny film. Reminds me:
Surfwise
Overheard minutiae:
1. Swingtown is a fun show
2. Flying sux right now
3. RSL is getting married in August
IN, in my world:
Pavement's early tunes
Butterscotch Custard: Yummmm
Silkies: Six of them I joined the urban hen movement
A 1970's childhood
Writing
Teaching Callanetics: Finally
The Paramount
OUT:
Driving before 8pm
Driving.
