Dressing up is so rare for anyone these days that it's nice to have an occasion to do so. <br />Now I'm off to look up "winkle pickers" that you and Rosemary discussed.

I was so proud of them, mine were a pearly soft leather in a pewter colour and I stuffed the ends with cotton wool so that they wouldn't become distorted and curl upwards.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-91919293641842241022019-02-09T10:26:14.804-05:002019-02-09T10:26:14.804-05:00Thank you, it was fun.

Nice to have place where one can still dress up a bit and not feel like the odd one out! That is my winter season varnish - not black but a very dark burgundy with a little shimmer - and I have my nail gal add one silver line to the finger where I always wear my silver rings!<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-85298813217466877572019-02-09T10:16:04.219-05:002019-02-09T10:16:04.219-05:00Yes, it was a lovely time, especially as the custo...Yes, it was a lovely time, especially as the customers were mostly dressed as if going out 'on the town', no shorts or tank tops (which people here in the south still wear in the winter on warmer days!). <br />Being taken back in time with Cindi singing some great oldies, and great musicians backing her - mostly retired guys except for the drummer - was relaxing for a couple of hours.<br />Not sure about the headbands - perhaps I'd already moved here by the time you wore those. I do know I was possibly the first gal in Washington, D.C. sporting a pair of killer black patent leather 'winkle picker' shoes from Mansfield - that would have been in 1962. Remember them - and of course mini skirts, back then I had the legs for them, haha!!!!<br /><br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-44504955305791818352019-02-09T07:57:52.265-05:002019-02-09T07:57:52.265-05:00Sounds a great place ....

But I do love live music and have just last night been to a great concert with a friend; it was meant to be with my sister but unfortunately, she had to stay home with a big fat cold.<br />Your evening out sounds fantastic, and I dare say this was not the last time you went there!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-64510381334310932582019-02-07T20:00:39.006-05:002019-02-07T20:00:39.006-05:00I would love this, the ambiance and music would ha...I would love this, the ambiance and music would have me swooning.

I do remember that we girls thought that we were the tops wearing our new accessory of a "headband", sometimes called a "headache band" which we wore around our foreheads - do you recall those too?Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-63622365272022131132019-02-07T12:37:12.375-05:002019-02-07T12:37:12.375-05:00It looks like a place I would love!It looks like a place I would love!Penny from Enjoying The Simple Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480355122441712250noreply@blogger.com
