White shoes… I don’t really like white shoes. I don’t even like white boots, and you know I love boots! I think it’s the sharp contrast between my legs and the shoes. I haven’t worn white shoes in years. I think the last ones I had were some Keds slip ons in the early 90s! …

Is It a Kimono or a Poncho?

I feel like my world has shrunk drastically in the last few weeks. It seems to consist of a garage and a house with occasional trips outside to take care of Jack’s toilet needs! So, when I received a phone call from Suzie at J Jill inviting me to the launch of their new Pure …

This past Saturday, my youngest son and I went to a drag brunch. The night before we were texting back and forth about about the brunch because, of course, my biggest concern was what I was going to wear!! I had never been to this bar (no surprise there as I don’t drink). So, I …

The Power of Words

A little history When I graduated from college, finding a teaching position was darn near impossible. I remember attending a senior “symposium” (aka senior meeting) letting us know only about ten percent of us would actually end up being an employed teacher. Funny how they waited until that very last semester. There were several people …
