They do make lovely coats though ;)Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-41808171916551867282016-01-16T14:05:47.632-08:002016-01-16T14:05:47.632-08:00What a gorgeous Kimono, I have had a hankering for...What a gorgeous Kimono, I have had a hankering for one for ages and save them to my watch list on Trade Me (NZ Ebay sort of thing) all the time. I would wear it as a coat too!! A Racoon, wow! We don't get anything half as exciting as a Racoon or a Squirrel, just the odd Hedgehog.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09315638690434873691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-46191946280035665242016-01-15T08:30:59.627-08:002016-01-15T08:30:59.627-08:00@Bibi

I've had my share over the twelve years on the Internet, and really, it might piss you off, but even mentioning them on your blog is seen as encouragement-just ignore the fuckers. <br /><br />@Mim<br />I have all these old cookbooks with recipes for raccoon, woodchuck, and possum. I guess the thinking is, "Free food."<br /><br />@Beth<br />Hmmm, I've been giving serious consideration to a short bob haircut-maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something. Clarks Indigo line have a vintage feel to them, but are still comfortable shoes to wear. Worth watching eBay for too. I wear an 8 1/2 and their shoes run true-to-size.

Clever you, using the undersleeve maneuver! I'd gladly add those shoes to my new collection of Heels One Can Safely Wear.<br /><br />Quite right about staying away from the raccoon -- and it's better not having to explain Danny in his Little Edie outfit, in any case.Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-6745243093629564512016-01-15T01:31:37.596-08:002016-01-15T01:31:37.596-08:00Poor old raccoon, I hope he was okay.

My friends in the US send me a White house Christmas ornament each year, which is always educational, so this year I learned Calvin Coolidge had a pet raccoon. Apparently he was sent to the Coolidges to have for a thanksgiving meal! I can't imagine eating raccoon.<br /><br />That Kimono is stunning - the lining is so good, it's a shame the whole thing isn't reversible so you could choose different sides for different occasions.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-17877726520978454692016-01-14T21:38:44.563-08:002016-01-14T21:38:44.563-08:00Not much I can say about that 'kimono' exc...Not much I can say about that 'kimono' except it's not a 'kimono.' It is a Chinese design called a 'hanfu.' I'd guess it is from the '20's & specifically made for the western market judging by the lining & style of the embellishments. A wonderful piece of 1920's kitsch though! I collect Kewpies from the 20's 30' & 40's.<br /><br />I am loving the cut & fit of that Chelsea & Violet ensemble on you! Those Clark's pumps are divine too! You could go full tilt 30's to late 20's with a cloche hat or even early 40's with a victory roll & huge fake flower hair clip with that outfit.<br /><br />Isn't Houbigant's OEF FAB! It's not just neroli or orange blossom but rather like Houbigant created an entirely new flower! That's my favorite style of perfume to wear to weddings, mundans, & other 'family' or religious events - a bold white floral over a clean musk. OEF is my fragrance for attending these Desi events where I'm competing with auntys wearing rose attars & jasmine sambac by the bucketload. I've gotten tonnes of compliments on it! I got my 100ml bottle in Moscow for only $80!!! Squeee!! The Russian shop owner was like "But that's soooo old fashioned & the cheapest fragrance in the entire store!" I just said, "But it's the BEST one, & it is sooo me!" (that was after I'd sniffed & turned down EVERYTHING from Montale to Amouage to Ajmal to Byredo to Clive Christian in her shop.)<br /><br />I had my 1st troll on my blog yesterday. Just so y'all know, in addition to the Talibani/Wahhabi idiots we have the Hindutva patriotards here on the Subcontinent. They're mostly in India & very anti foreigner. They love to troll & verbally attack goris (white women) on the internet, ESPECIALLY white women married to Indians. White women are evil whores out to destroy the pavitra (pure) culture of India, in their opinion. Even white women who have converted to Hinduism are not spared their ire. In addition to the usual flaming & trolling, - personal attacks, death threats, rape threats, & other physical threats to goris & their entire families are not unusual when dealing with these assholes. Every gori blogger married to an Indian I know has encountered these jackass cowards. Us gori wives have kind of banded together & vowed not to let them deter us from blogging. I draw even more ire as I'm married to a Kashmiri Muslim, probably the most hated ethnic/religious group in India. So much for 'white privilege,' eh?<br /><br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.com
