What are you wearing today?

[Elizabeth Star]

Both of you look so good. I wish I could go out to dinner somewhere. I'm still a bit scared of covid so I get in and out of stores as fast as possible without looking like a crazy woman.

[Jodie]

For various reasons I havent been able to dress as I would like to for several months:( Starting in the next week or so I will be able to get all my clothes and shoes etc out of storage and "dress" again. I cant wait its been a difficult and frustrating time.

[Kiera]

@Confused1OMG does anyone else here roller skate? Was gonna post an actual pic of me wearing them but no cel phone no camera so . . 

 

Took the grandkids (2) skating last Weds and, upon renting a size 11, my feet starting killing me not to mention *a wobbling* left & right so . . 

 

Following day spent two hours on web looking to buy a specific Chicago 800 "dance skate" (same as when a kid) just to find SOLD OUT everywhere I looked? Well, "Made in China" explains it but took a chance here (women's sizing is smaller right?) and - low & behold - they FIT perfect am happy as a clam!

 

 

 

Am also waiting upon a new hat. size "XL" . . to go with the country music I love? 

 

[Teri Anne]

I remember skating as a kid.

Cool that you found some skates.

I'm so coordinated it would just be another way to bust my a55.

[Teri Anne]

Thanks Holly I really appreciate the nice compliment.

Liz don't be afraid to go out just don't go to really busy places.

Take your precautions like you do going to work.

It had been so long since I had Japanese cuisine and it was a real treat.

My date was a guy I met recently thru a girl friend.

 

[Linda Marie]

Today is pink day.

@Teri Anne and @Holly Elizabeth You both look great!  And a Date Night.....do tell, how did it go?  

@Linda Marieas always, you rock the dress!

No way you are getting me into skates, I've had enough orthopedic surgeries to last a lifetime. lol

Liz, I don't go into restaurants either and I'm fully vaccinated. I do grab takeout or if they have very well spaced out outdoor seating like the taco place I had lunch at today, I will do that.  I don't mind shopping because of the vaccination plus I wear a N95 and have hand sanitizer with me at all times.  I give people plenty of space in stores,

 

Yesterday a clothing delivery arrived! I got a bunch of cami tops from Amazon in Medium and Large not sure which would fit and planned on returning the ones that didn't.  The medium was too small so my wife took them instead.  This morning we woke up seperately and when we met in the kitchen, low and behold, we're both wearing jeans and the same blue cami SMH.  Twins haha.  We both refused to change so we even went out to said Taco place together that way. (I looked cuter because I had my hat though lol). 

[Teri Anne]

Bri the date went well he was really nice and he asked me out again and I said yes.

He was quite the gentleman too.

Hi Kiera,

 

I haven't roller skated in 40 years and I wasn't good at it back then. I'd probably break something if I started now. I'm glad you found some skates that fit. I like the hat.

 

Hugs,

Mike

Its been at least 30 years for me.  My legs were sore for a week and my back side was black and blue from falling.  That was it for me!  I will admit it was fun though! 

 

@Teri Anne you look great and I'm happy you enjoyed yourself!  You go Girl!! 

[Teri Anne]

Thanks Jani I had a great time.

I too loved skating when I was a kid but I'm not fond of busting my butt on a hard surface these days.

       Well I took a couple of good falls but attribute it the rental skates. Used to work at a Professional rink in NJ as a kid as the one "patrolling" backwards, slowing down speeders, and helping you up when *crashed*. Don't see THAT much anymore but 'ole habits are hard to break.

 

OMG sad the rink is No More! It was 'State' Arena back then not 'Skate' and they gave me free admission plus skates (like above) in return for helping out unpaid. Mom used to HATE driving sister & I back/forth to Lakewood in her '66 Chrysler  . . .

Primary reason for closing: "She & her husband want to retire, and their son wants to have a career in computer science instead of running a roller rink"

 

@Teri Anne I'm jealous skating was (and still is?) a great date, way to MEET!

[Elizabeth Star]

I spent a summer as a car-hop. It was pretty cool, I got paid to skate all day. I learned to figure skate when I was 6 or 7. I had no desire to play hockey, just wanted to jump and spin..ya know, like the other girls. OMG, the signs were there. Why did no one ever pick up on them.

[Charlize]

One of our mods here, Jody Ann,  a few years back loved to skate, she coached a women's roller derby team which she eventually joined.  She was unfortunately severly injured in an attack not related to gender.  We haven't seen her for years now.

  I used to love to skate both with online road skates and ice skates.  I've fantasized heading ton the rink now wit a cute pair of tights and a "skating skirt" but i fear arthritis might make that quite hard. In old girl can dream though.

 

Hugs,

As a kid, I roller skated almost every weekend.  My parents both roller skated and they got all the kids into it.  I was more into it than my siblings were and consequently, I used to go with my mom a lot.  Fond memories for sure. 

 

I had to wear black roller skates but deep down, I really wanted to wear the white ones.  In fact, wearing white roller skates and a poodle skirt would have put me over the moon.  Unfortunately, I think that outfit would have put my parents over the moon for a different reason.

Times were different, or maybe not.

 

I never was any good on skates - ice or wheels.

[Elizabeth Star]

I went for a slightly more athletic look today. 
 

[HollyElizabeth]

Me today. 

[HollyElizabeth]

Oh, I had a doctors appointment this morning. I wore this. This top really needs something more, like another top over it. Way too much showing. Lol

[Teri Anne]

You look lovely in the dress that is such a pretty dress too.

You are way bolder than I am with the top in the second pic.

Every time I wear a low cut top people stare and that makes me uneasy.

[HollyElizabeth]

Thank you sweetie.  I thought about it and I really don’t care if they stare. Wow that rhymed. LOL 

 

The thing about the second top is that I’m not sure I’m going to wear it again. My girls are too exposed in it. It’s cute, but not for general audiences. Not even PG if you know what I mean. LOL

[Teri Anne]

I used to wear semi revealing tops/ short skirts when I first "came out" trying to prove something I guess but these days I don't have anything to prove.

You look good in this top. I was looking at a dress earlier that has similar colors and patterns.

Not really! The look is right . . you been talking to my doctor? He swears "can do" with me but jury is still out. They are hurting again, it's only been (what?) a week this Sunday . .

       Actually NOT those times were definitely BETTER! And telling my father, before he passed, turned out to be quite easy because he had already been "primed" for me: his best "male" co-worker friend (mom was BF with wife "Lee" as well), living just down the street from us, in the mid 1960's, was eventually FIRED when she transitioned and become "Georgette"!

 

I was only 'bout 10, they moved away to north Jersey soon thereafter, but mom and Lee remained close and we ALL finally moved south to Florida together as well (sans "Georgette" of course!) WEIRD ALERT SORRY!!
