Due to the fact that many of his clients were older, he had all kinds of tricks to give the illusion of a flatter stomach and a straighter back. Now that's making your client look their best!Rhonda Busshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240737918954576573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-90863680031555340862015-02-27T06:57:03.226-06:002015-02-27T06:57:03.226-06:00I am in love with he Balenziaga.

He probably went to high school with her too. I can't remember his name. If I think of it, I'll email you. <br />We had tickets to that play but sadly it was canceled a few weeks before it came to town.

Lauren and I ...Very inspiring pieces today, Rhonda! Lauren and I just finished watching a video presentation of my very large Italian family that my cousin put together. It was interesting to see the change in fashions for both women and men throughout the decades. A family picnic in 50's, the ladies and girls wore dresses, the men slacks and button up shirts, and everyone proper shoes. Fast forward to a family picnic in the 80's, and everyone is in short shorts, even the men, and the women are wearing shoulder pads galore! Knee socks and sneakers are everywhere. Truthfully, in the 80's the family looked a bit ragged, although more comfortable. Interesting, though, many in the older generation still dressed 'properly', and didn't subscribe to the fashion of the day. Back in the 50's, no one had a lot of clothing, but what they did have was well cared for and well made. Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378489018825744806noreply@blogger.com
