The comments from Littlest did make me laugh, old drunks always seem to zero in on me too, my daughter says it always happens to her as well and she reckons it's because most people would just freeze them out but we always smile at them, and that's their opening to start talking. As for the PTA woman, I can't imagine anyone hating you, what's wrong with the woman? Well I think Helga has the right advice when it comes to that, words of wisdom there. xxCityScape Skybabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664705819999740018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-34330705768982649622013-10-30T05:37:38.240-07:002013-10-30T05:37:38.240-07:00I collapsed when I read this post!

Nice to know we've still got it, despite not being willing to share it!!!<br />Ooo, you look scrummy in that frock, I'm so pleased!<br />LOVE that print,she's gorgeous! Hopefully our Tania can come up with the goods on that painter! <br />I have the same genie bottle, but I think mine is blue? Haven't seen them in awhile, must get them out of storage! (Out of G's Mama's box, oooER!)<br />It's not sad that the glassware is being sold off cheap, it's lovely. No greedy guts there, unless some arsehole buys the lot to flog off on ebay or something nasty like that. Some lovely pieces! And the vases rock!<br />I am most amused about the song with the word penis in it being unsuitable....I expect though, that "Sex on the Beach" was perfectly suitable, I seem to recall loads of kiddies bouncing around to that one when it was out........<br />Ah, a change in the old guard! Hurrah! Rancid bitch, hopefully she's off being a miserable cow elsewhwere. How dare she not like you, what's not to like?! Scared of the brave and different, if you ask me.

I'm glad you can let loose in the PTA at last!! The Christmas Fair won't know what's hit them. <br />I would like to put my milk in that extremely tall brown vase-y thing. Trying to use it at breakfast would wake me up properly.<br />And last and best, look dreamy in that awesome blue gown hand chosen by Helga.

And you look ravishing in that dress!<br />I wonder about your point about reminding men of their youth when you were vintage. It's been a few years since I've attracted the attention of random men. The few times I have, I've been wearing complete vintage, and especially hats. Then I get smiles and comments from older gentlemen.

You ...I think you should rename Littlest, Funniest!<br />You look positively amazonian in that dress and i imagine your beating them all off with a stick, toothless and toothed alike.
