The one with the hat is from a "Roaring Twenties" party thrown by Mary Lee Harris (in the pink dress) in 1986 or 1987. The one with the wine glass was taken on Thanksgiving of 1974, and the one with the "shag" haircut is from SSS's sister's wedding in 1972.
Back when I had a waist.
You have been such a chameleon over the years, Ronni.
ReplyDeletePhase after phase, you look different.
I told you! Be patient and you will lose the "stopped smoking" pounds.
There is a striking resemblance to Vanessa in those pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am not nearly as pretty as either of my daughters, but thanks for the compliment!
ReplyDeleteEek!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing "Romanesque" about me is my nose!
Did I mention that I hate my nose?
I'm 5' 4" tall, and, as you can see, in thin phase, I got no boobage. I wear size 8 shoes (8 1/2, sometimes), and what you call "dancer's legs," I call "knobby knees."
I will admit to good bone structure. The main problem is that I didn't look after my skin back when there was less of it, and now, I pay the price. This skin was never meant to survive the Texas sun. It was designed for the gentle rains of England!
If knickerbockers make a comeback, they will do it without me!
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to get my waist to make a comeback!
Kaye tells me the same thing. Unfortunately, the scrub she gave me is way too harsh, and makes me feel as if I've been sand-blasted.
ReplyDeleteI compromise with a good scrub with a washcloth (face flannel) and collagen cleanser.
Too little, too late, I'm afraid! LOL!
When I visualized myself getting old, I didn't predict the weight gain. If I can lose the weight and keep the skin toned up (as much as possible), I should get back to looking the way I thought I would.
You have very good muscle tone which is great for keeping your shape. I miss being really skinny, too.
ReplyDeleteI use Pears soap with my sponge and my skin smarts a little, but I never get irritation.
I'm hoping to get that Accupunture face lift if I can get the £300 together.
It improves the baggy-face look...puffy eyes and soforth. Also improves the skin tone. Heh! I know! At my age, I'm mad!
Before Kaye got me going on this collagen and elastin stuff, I used Yardley's Lavender.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Yardley's Lavender in years! That is great soap!
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell it while I'm writing this..
They tried to market a version that was light cream in colour, and it didn't fly. I think that some marketing expert told them that the weird, old-fashioned colour kept it from selling over here.
ReplyDeleteThos light-coloured bars are available for $1/bar at many of the Dollar Stores, and the original can be bought at Walgreen's, which is a chain of drugstores, sort of an American Boots'.
It will be hard to drag me away from Pears, but those Yardley bars used to last for ages.
ReplyDeleteYou can delete this:
There is an O-ring over on the Cam Brown blob posing as ken. Is there someone who can get rid of his nonsense.
I noticed that. Maybe Loretta or CG will get him.
ReplyDeleteThey can leave him there, for all of me. His name-calling slaps him, not me!
