Lunch Ladies

Wednesday, the ladies who do lunch met again and dined at a local restaurant. The restaurant staff treated us like ladies and the barflies we passed on the way to the dining room glanced at us briefly and there was no discouraging words.

It was nice to get out en femme. I wore a new red sweater dress from Venus. I usually don't do red, but this dress looked good on me, so I may not shy away from red in the future! My black patent chunky block heel shoes were comfortable from start to finish and the new red lipstick that I bought from Avon matched the red of the dress. I felt like a million bucks!

Nailing It

Awhile back, I had stocked up when there was a close-out sale for Kiss stick-on nails. I am running out of nails from that purchase and the ones that I have left have lost their adhesiveness and fall off as soon as I put them on. So I did not wear nails on Wednesday and it’s time to restock my nail collection.

Your Opinion

Planning to shut down the blog then changing my mind resulted in lots of comments and emails (over 250 in all). Most were positive – supporting my decision whatever I decided to do and thanking me for the previous 17+ years of blogging. 

Your words opened my eyes about what this blog means to so many of you. Over and over again you mentioned that this blog motivated you to exit the closet en femme and mix it up with civilians. So the goal of this blog has been achieved hundreds of times over and that does my heart good.

  1. Thanks for returning from the Darkness. For years I've started the day reading your blog and Rhonda's Escape. There is always something to be learned, appreciated, or admired along with something that brings a smile. You look great in red and the picture proves it. I wish you years more of wearing beautiful colors like red, Cait

  2. Stephanie sometimes is there hidden meaning to the neon signs that line times square around Stanas place?

  3. I use Impress nails - and in over 20 years I have had a "nail malfunction" only once! They stay on through MOST situations and they offer a Wide Style for our masculine thumbs. I used to buy them at Walgreens, but they are becoming scarce there. So I just stocked up on some through Amazon.
