The Scream Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 But, but, but what I mean is that I probably was. With a son in the room. After all, it WAS the hippy dippy sixties. My kids sometimes like to watch me get dressed. They think I'm really glamorous and get giddy watching me do my hair and make up. My boy notices right away when I have a new shade of lipstick or if I have my hair done a little differently. I think it's really sweet. I don't know what to say here. Nature or nurture? Need to get that boy into the kitchen with his father. Chop them garlics. Tote them trays. The fact that most likely you are actually VERY glamorous wrapped in all that cashmere is important modeling/parenting and children of all species enjoy preening. He loves the kitchen. As soon as he started on solid foods he was opening the refrigerator and cupboards looking for things to eat. He loves playing soccer. And he has always liked girls. Had his first kiss in the park when he was 10 months old. Older woman, no less. She was 11 months old. He's THE MAN at his nursery school, girls giving him candy and chocolates, invitations to playdates... I'd like to think it wouldn't be such a problem in the Zadi household if nature gave them a little Ethel Merman fan. Whenever hubby cooked in a restaurant he would attract a strong gay clientele. Usually glam boy types. Some of them would glare at me. As far as I was concerned they were good for business. Very social, good about getting more business in via word of mouth, etc... I remember one guy was gorgeous. He looked like an Abercrombie and Fitch model. He was 6'4", very lithe body and wore lip gloss. He told me "I love him!!! I can eat his food everday!!!"

I'd like to think it wouldn't be such a problem in the Zadi household if NURTURE gave them a little Ethel Merman fan, too. And lots of earrings and scarves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cristina Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I was just remembering my mother coming home from work and changing clothes and seeing the girdle marks that made an impression in her skin. For fulfilling your nostalgia needs, I was just about to offer to bring my "panty girdle" to GDL but remembered I've promised to lighten my luggage - I know, too much information! Separate rooms! Separate rooms! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Schonfeld Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I must occupy some kind of in-between on the remember scale around here. I remember stepping over bodies in the bathroom at the Fillmore East, and the crunch of glass as my boot heel shattered a used hypodermic. Btw, the Allman Brothers Live there is listening very well these days. I was on hand for one of those sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wingding Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 When television was in black and white and there were only two channels which only broadcast in the evening? Also, could I recommend I Remember by Joe Brainard? I remember hearing Joe Brainard read 'I remember' at St. Marks Church on New Years day in 1976.It was memorable...

Maurice Naughton Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 "I remember the first time I met Frank O’Hara. He was walking down Second Avenue. It was a cool early Spring evening but he was wearing only a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. And blue jeans. And moccasins. I remember that he seemed very sissy to me. Very theatrical. Decadent. I remember that I liked him instantly. . . . " --Joe Brainard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostrider Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I line dry 90% of my clothes. It smells better, they last longer and it's a waste of electricity. Unplug that line & you won't waste the juice. And they may smell even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I was just remembering my mother coming home from work and changing clothes and seeing the girdle marks that made an impressionin her skin. Too much information! Well I know it was innocent! One of my ex's family were perfectly comfortable walking around naked. Yes, there were arguments from me. Oh yeah, they were adults too. I remember my parents being naked in front of me when I was a kid, but that ended when I started asking questions, if I recall. Well I know it was innocent! There were those years, now that you mention it, between the Playtex girdle and panyhose . . . She wasn't completely naked. I wasn't refering to the nakedness but the awful mental picture (memory) of "girdle agony" and the marks it left for a half hour or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
