the new new yorker.............

ok, so i enjoyed the new yorker more than usual today....starting with the ad for max mara, a clothing designer......in the front 1/4 of the magazine....................the outfit was so laughingly retro...................if you took off the fur collar.....it is stylistically identical to my 4-h project the summer of 1973....................right down to the wide legged and cuffed wool pants....and the coat that was right between a car coat and an overcoat................oh my.....................some things really do come around again.........i might even have the pants in a box somewhere...............and i certainly could not wear them..........the summer of '73 was the beginning of my 'too upset to eat' phase...when i was plain that the 1st ever love-of-my-life was straying..............with my best friend.................who was in my 4-h club..............ain't love grand................of course.....had it not been for their little romance behind my back...i might have married him...........which would have been a huge mistake....and thanks to them i am here, at this very moment......in my preferred scenario for a happy ending.............all those emotions, just from an ad for a coat that matches wide legged, cuffed wool pants.........................that only really look good on tall thin women, by the way.........................
