MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL

[lloydslights]

Fran Lebowitz - I had never heard of her; but in an interview she says:

     You'd better check yourself before you wreck yourself: "If you walked around New York you would think there was a terrible mirror famine. There might be drought here, a wheat famine there, but in New York you have a mirror famine. Because everything people wear, you have to assume they bought it."

     "And the world would be a prettier place with a sprinkle of cross-dressing glamour: "Can you imagine if women tried as hard as drag queens? We'd be a much more attractive culture."

I tend to agree that not many people view their outfits before leaving home.  Someone in my own family will be receiving a cheval soon.

Years ago I found an eBay seller in the U.S. who sold beautiful pure cashmere sweaters and hoodies, and pure cashmere blankets, at very reasonable prices. She lived near a manufacturer of cashmere cloth and made the blankets herself. Sadly she doesn't sell such things anymore, production was cut during the GFC. So less excess stock for her to buy. A typical cashmere sweater, soft and thick, was around the 70-80$ mark (our money). They were superb quality. It made gifts easy for the ladies in the family 🙂

WOW love cashmere...

a lot of the cashmere thats manufactured these days is made in China.The designer I used to work for would use it, but I dont think its worth any $. Its finer, and doesnt last long- the fibres are too short (my opinion) so that it balls much easier..I used to wear a long cardi that my father had, it was cashmere from Britain- maybe Scotland?not sure, but it was warm, cosy and a kind of grey/blue and even after 10 years, there was no wear..you couldnt tell its age..love textiles like that.

Yes she is and bossy, when she thinks it is time to go to bed she start vocalizing, I know she is telling me to get to bed.

She also does that thing with her claws on the hoody, what is that word??
