Does Lily have stripey tights yet? Cause she should.
Do you have one of those super-wide black elastic belts that were so popular in the late 80s? They were 6-9" wide, and usually had some sort of odd metal clasps in the front.
I remember those worn with HUGE enamelled buckles. Some cloisonne. One I remember in particular was a huge butterfly. It looked like you'd puncture organs if you bent over.

Oh, god. I had a mini with one of these attached, but it was a teeny skirt, and as soon as I was over a size 2, it no longer fit. But I kept it forever because I loved the belting so.
Perkins, of course you miss us. It's weird that you're not waiting until you've left, but still.

Not yet, but she will when she's a little bigger.
Sigh. Must sign off--I booted the machine that's making weird sounds to post in Beep Me, and don't feel comfortable leaving it running until we figure out what's up with it.
Later, peeps.
I miss those! I had a friend who had one that laced up the front, and was closer to a foot wide. It was so effin' cool.
Yep. If I could find that elastic, I'd make my own damn versions of them.

Some of us are working on that.
Oooh good!
Ooh! Do you have one of those super-wide black elastic belts that were so popular in the late 80s? They were 6-9" wide, and usually had some sort of odd metal clasps in the front. I've been searching *ages* for one.I will check through the boxes o' crap I have from my mother's house. I know I had one.

I may have used the teensiest bit of hyperbole. I have thrown away one or two things like, say, a really wide, stretchy belt. I don't remember what color it was. I think, perhaps, tan.
hides in shame
Hivemind question: Does anyone know if Martinelli's sparkiling apple cider has a limited shelf life? I have 2 unopened bottles in my refrigerator that are probably about a year old. Should I just toss them, or see if I can give them away?
Most of my clothes in the eighties were hand-me-downs from my sister. So just about everything I wore was three years out of date super-trendy. One outfit I remember loving in third grade was neon green and white striped leggings and a t-shirt with a neon pink, orange, and green picture of a bicyclist, with "Tour de France" written in glitter. Worn with a neon pink hair bow, one pair each white and green socks (one foot had white then green, other foot had green then white), scrunched down, with purple high-top sneakers.
Just describing that is making me shudder.
And I just remembered hypercolor. I think I had two hypercolor shirts. One pink/purple and one orange/yellow.

Were those the shirts that changed color when body heat was applied?
