i have MISSED leggings !
you just made my day. i have one pair that i use for running, and believe me, nothing is better to run in. oh, leggings. i had them in dark-red velvet, beige, hunter green, charcoal grey, navy blue, black, dark green-and-blue plaid with tiny red flecks in the pattern, brown, black, black, black, black. the last black ones, purchased in paris in 1999, have survived.
come back, leggings, come back.

Jenny, I wore BOTH kinds of vests. I went through a veritable vest *phase*.
I also once owned a Loveboy album. *shudder*

jess: Excellent! You fell right into my trap!
Viv: Now, were they “hand-me-downs” or “steal-me-outta-Jenny’s-closets?” Because I know full well that you still have my all-purpose black short-sleeved top that never wrinkles and is perfect for business trips and looks great under a blazer. Don’t try to deny it.
[ps – when I come to NYC in April, we’re soooo going jeans shopping!]

Dear Jenny,
Remember how thanks to my anti-fashion nonprofit jobs, I was able to make good use of your and Dee-Dee’s corporate hand-me-downs? In fact, I still do! I’m not too proud to admit that just last week I wore Dee’s superthick kinda floods Land’s End navy wool dress pants. How old are those pants? In any event, I miss you ladies and your clothes!
Love,
Vivian

Jen – In my dreams, I’m only a thief of hearts.
Also, I’ve decided to keep your bag of tricks; perhaps you shouldn’t comment that you actually like a bad art submission so closely to your birthday (NOW guess whatcha gonna get?!).

Kevin: people do all sorts of things at Union that you probably don't want to know about.
Jessica: why are you such a thief in your dreams? what if i had something really really important in that bag? i can't wait until my bday!
Tracy Lynn: NOO!! Leggings with cowboy boots, only slightly better than the leggings with short black shoe boots with the buckle on the side!!
Denny: Hey - thanks for stopping by. I'll swing by your place later!
shari: "Flap pocket?" Where was the flap? I might need a diagram, please.
dee-dee: I actually just started crying-laughing because I had totally forgotten about the super tight tapered legs that I couldn't get out of. Oh man... those were the days!
jaymarie: It's sooo cool. And believe me - I had more than my share of laughable clothes, including a pair of super wide legged sailor pants that are the reason certain members of my circle, to this day, still call me Jenny Funpants. (Or Jenny Crazy Pants, or Jenny Kookie Pants, or some variation thereof)

how cool is it that you have girlfriends that will call you up for a fashion show, wine included, to laugh at each other (or at least to laugh at Dee.) i love it.

Sometimes the truth hurts, and sometimes it hurts from laughing so hard — as I recall at you at one point tried on the very tapered, tapered so tight that we could barely get a foot in black high waisted linen pants that went with the shoulder pads…didn’t everyone have 4 variations of the pirate shirt from Tweeds catalogue?

Aw, there you go being all sage and wise mixed in with your make-me-laugh-out-loud. So not fair that you can unwind a story like that, but one of the reasons I blove you so! However, I will not wear my flap-pocket stirrup pants ever again, even if they circle back in, and not even if you offer me good money to do so.
