Unfortunately, now I see that baglady effect my mother mentioned all so many years ago.....<BR/><BR/>I'm really feeling left out on this Project Runway thing. Will have to give it a peek when baseball is over.<BR/><BR/>And Hank, the thing about the way-too-low jeans is this. If you are tall, like me, and have a long waist, they are actually the most comfortable jeans you can wear (no pinching). But yes, I had to purchase a drawer of those extra long tees -- and have had to coordinate all that layering.Jan Broganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11323983086318138814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-2237737438162504392008-10-14T13:34:00.000-04:002008-10-14T13:34:00.000-04:00Your photos are all just beautiful--and Hank, your...Your photos are all just beautiful--and Hank, your photo is way hot and so not dorm counselor-ish!<BR/><BR/>I love Project Runway so much--I, too, think Kenley has great potential, but I think she's just awfully young/immature and if she wins she'll be ruined for life. I've found the show rather uneven this season. No one really stands out.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I heart Tim Gunn! I have this desperate desire/horrible fear to be one of his makeovers. Pick me, Tim, please! I threw out a tie-dyed shirt as an offering to you!!!!<BR/><BR/>(And Jan--I say wear the coat if it makes you happy.

Hank was stylish and gorgeous. I was wearing jeans, sneakers, and an old ratty t-shirt. <BR/><BR/>I went to a Catholic high school and we wore gray pleated skirts and white blouses, but we had no restrictions on the length. Mine (I was skinny back then) barely covered my rear end. An interesting combo with argyle knee socks!Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-52907007765783184392008-10-14T08:05:00.000-04:002008-10-14T08:05:00.000-04:00DAMMIT, I missed the conversation about Project Ru...DAMMIT, I missed the conversation about Project Runway??? Rats. I have a secret crush on Tim Gunn. (Yeah, it's a relationship fraught with problems from the getgo, huh?) Let's start a Kill Off Kenley movement. <BR/><BR/>Count me in the Johnny Cash club. Except I look terrible in black tops. But I have so many pairs of black pants---most of them folded over the bannister outside my bedroom--that my aunt came upstairs and burst out laughing. She said it looked like a bunch of Amish farmers had left their pants outside and were waiting in my bedroom. <BR/><BR/>Everyone's a comedian.<BR/><BR/>Fabulous to see everyone looking so stylish in Baltimore!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-82545970751178074012008-10-13T20:12:00.000-04:002008-10-13T20:12:00.000-04:00Really, Ro?

And they're impossible because on the fashionable ones, the waists are way too low. <BR/><BR/>So you wear a longish t-shirt to cover the naked distance between the pants and your actual waist.(At which point it no longer matters whether the waistline is low or not.) <BR/><BR/>Then you wear something shorter over the long t-shirt, and then something even shorter, like a shrug, over the top that's over the t-shirt.<BR/><BR/>That looks terrible.

And as far as I'm concerned, she's much too one-note--and much too young to be channeling the fifties, Mad Men notwithstanding.<BR/><BR/>Hank, how did you even try to get away with such short skirts? At my high school the hem had to touch the floor when you kneeled--and sandals were considered obscene because your toes were naked (no, this was not a Catholic school, and we were only an hour from New York). Of course, my first year in college everyone was sporting eight-inch hems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
