LOL, Anne!

I actually have an embarrassing story to tell. And, I was'nt even sitting at that time!

A few years ago (spring chicken comes to mind), I had a shift dress in the fashion of the 20's. Sleeveless, low-waisted and box pleated. Think "charlston" and you'd pretty much get the picture. Wore it to a formal affair without thought to the consequences of a breezy day. Yep. Gave everyone a free show. Not once, but twice! "Always wear clean underwear" does have its merits. LOLOLOL!!!

I remember shifts and muu-muus from the '50s and '60s, but not sure if I've seen them much since.

I love fancy dresses to go out. At home, my idea of comfortable in the winter is leggings and sweatshirt. Summer I wear gym shorts and t-shirt or tank top.

Moonies - reminds me of being 17 with five or six girls in a car. For whatever reason (a dare) one friend decides to moon all the guys standing outside a bar on the main street in our city.

I'm not sure if any of the guys saw her butt smacked against the window because all of us were laughing ridiculously and didn't think to watch the guy's reaction.

I'm surprised the driver didn't have an accident. This was before seatbelts. Picture her climbing over us in the back to get to the right side of the car, positioning herself, kneeling, yanking down her pants, etc. All of that had us out of control with laughter before she even mooned the guys.

Ran into K-Mart yesterday looking for something and whalla, they had "shifts." One piece, brightly colored, sleeveless, cotton dress's with snaps down the front. Imagine that!
