This is more a commuter's jacket.<br /><br />@Curtis<br />Mr. ETB says I *almost* make the family sound normal. I suppose time and distance has softened the edges a bit.<br /><br />@Propagatrix<br />Hmmm, purple spiked heels (makes fashion and literary notes)<br /><br />@Mim<br />I think my mum's idea of "hooker shoes" would have been anything with a spiked heel, or flashy colours. I promise the shoes I kept will make a future appearance on the blog, though to my eye they don't seem particularly trashy.

And now you *have* to photograph those shoes, because they sound fab. I am intrigued as to what hooker shoes looked like back then ;-)Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-70048753717100507252014-11-18T06:10:40.954-08:002014-11-18T06:10:40.954-08:00"This girl wore a plaid skirt, knee socks, pu..."This girl wore a plaid skirt, knee socks, purple spiked heels, a leather motorcycle jacket. The thick eyeliner she sported didn't blend well with her Louis Vuitton purse. Her hair, long and curled demurely at the ends, was dyed raven black. She was everything I wanted to be." --Binnie Kirshenbaum, ON MERMAID AVENUEPropagatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07450679576020462553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-59141672535568325942014-11-17T14:09:21.378-08:002014-11-17T14:09:21.378-08:00How wonderful to have a piece of clothing like thi...How wonderful to have a piece of clothing like this, so loved and often worn over many years, and with all those associations and memories. And I love that you combined tough leather with satin and lace, pearls and brooches! As always, I really enjoy reading about your family and your personal stories. <br />You look lovely, hope your jaw improves soon. xxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-25287963351460300762014-11-17T13:39:03.168-08:002014-11-17T13:39:03.168-08:00That's one great jacket and worth every penny ...That's one great jacket and worth every penny of whatever you paid for it all those years ago. Its such a classic and why wouldn't you still like to wear it, adapt it to your current style and think about all those times it's been worn. Glad you are on the mend too.

YUK!<br />Maxwell Road shopping trips sound like when we used to go to San Francisco's 'SOMA' (South of Market St.) district. It was the wholesale center for nearly everything from flowers to fabric to whatever came off the docks that day. Now its all yuppified & hipstered.<br />Speaking of hipsters, I was invited to join Ello the newest & hippest social media site. I don't know about these Millenials, 'awkward' & 'agist' doesn't even begin to describe them. But what do I know, I'm just an elderly Gen Xer - all we ever excelled at was partying. At least tha's all I remember.<br />Glad to see you're on the mend!Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.com
