While waiting to wait on my wife, I sat down in front of the telly, smoothed out the skirts of my maid's uniform and turned on the set to see what I could see. I came upon Heartbreakers, a film about a mother and daughter team of gold diggers. It is an amusing film and features some delicious outfits worn by the gold diggers, Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt. And Ms. Weaver's rendition of Back in the U.S.S.R. is worth the price of admission.
Sigourney Weaver has always been an inspiration to me because we have some things in common.
She is two years older and two inches shorter than me, and like me, she is not exactly waif-like. Her measurements and mine are exactly the same proportionally when I am girded properly. And although she is a senior citizen like me, she does not dress like a senior citizen, nor look like one.
I know I will never be mistaken for Sigourney Weaver, but she is someone worth femulating for big girls like me.

I know that Ms. Weaver has long been noted in your "Famous Females of Height" catalog.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your wife's rehab is doing well. Yesterday I was quipping with my wife that with her own rehab from her surgery prior to Thanksgiving it is too bad that I no longer had my maid's uniform but that she was indeed fortunate to have a CD for a husband to take care of the cooking, etc. Other than doctor's appointments she has not been out of the house in 3 weeks.
Saturday after my morning shopping, I wore a white top with a black floral print skirt, nude hose and taupe pumps. That evening I cooked up a hearty beef stew. Yesterday had me in a gray top with a black flare skirt with an off black design pattern, my black hose and pumps.
Both pair of high heels are generally comfortable but I was on my feet so long that I broke out my two pair of ladies, tasseled loafer flats, a tan pair for Saturday and a black pair to match my hose yesterday.
My wife is recovering but for the time being her confinement to the house affords me a basis to be dressed for most of the day on the weekends.
I do try to find a silver lining in every cloud.
Pat
And you do it very well!
