Once, I had this one particularly dirty job with great PR responsibilities. A frequent quip, when at my grubbiest, was, "I'm in this for the glory, of course." Just now I took a break from bodging up the Spirituals Permathread to do something in the kitchen; I had a similarly wry thought as I stepped into the warm, fuzzy slippers needed when I sit for a long time in the frigid corner where the computer chair is. "Oh yeah, there's WYS the Glamorous," I thought.

So of course it led me to wonder-- what are YOU folks wearing?

ah jeez. .....LOL. I just came in for a short break and a bowl of chili, from raking and piling branches from our last hurricane and throwing them on the burn pile.

I've got on grey rubber boots, that were my youngest daughter's when she was in elementary school, into which I've stuffed my grubby baggy khaki pants. I've got my brown vest on with burn holes, a grey sweater, black socks with holes in the toes and my filthy old manure stained hooded wetskins jacket with a broken zipper, rips and tears and some glued patches.....and I haven't combed my hair in two days.

Think I'll go back out if the rain eases a bit and fart around in the yard some more.

Light green sweat pants I wouldn't wear outside the house; old comfy worn-out white tee-shirt with various shades of housepaint splatters, no particular pattern; knee-high cream coloured all cotton socks, well everything is all-cotton, including the "Unbra." Black Keen lace-up shoes which sometimes keep my feet too warm, a hard thing to do usually! Glasses, clean hair pulled back in a scrunchie. When I was chilly, I also had on a scrumptious purple pullover sweater which I adore. It's shapeless, cuddly, and warm. Nothing glam about any of it.:-)

Here I am wearing black poly/cotton trousers, a pale turquise and white t-shirt. No socks, black panties and 2 bras, one normal and one sports one for extra scaffolding and support for my line dancing earlier on this evening.

I am just so unglamourous - AND PROUD of it. I am also wearing specs, having taken my contact lenses out not more than 15 mins ago.

My hair is a mess - and I gave up on wearing make up months ago.

I am also wearing 3 pairs of small hoop ear rings in my ears, and a small silver hoop on my left nostril, and a small discreet, black flat nose stud on my right nostril - I never remove these.

I am also wearing a small dragion tattoo on my back.

Shortly I will be getting into my lovely baggy pale pink pyjamas.

Is that enough information for all.

(The bras are white BTW - I doubt I would get run over by a bus and get rushed to hospital lounging around on the computer.

Just enough clothes that if someone were to come to my door, I could answer it. Enough clothes that hair won't be scattered throughout the house. I won't be an embarassment to EMTs (read clean underware) should their presence be required. Today I need a spatula to turnover. Ask me tomorrow and I'll check again for glamour. I'm sure I have some around here somewhere.

Just popped out of the shower and will wear until bedtime, a pair of jeans( yes, underwear..Jockey shorts if you must know), a brown turtleneck---(long sleeves- we are keeping the heat lowish) and a brown plaid shirt......and two pair of hand made booties I was given as presents several years apart, the inner ones knit, and the outer ones fabric with a ribbed cloth sole (they were really too large, but the fit perfectly over the knit ones!)...it makes a warm, comfortable way to not put shoes back on.

All the rest of the day I wore ragged work jeans to grunge about in the shop.

Loose sleeveless shirt and undies, 2 rings, my glasses, bare feet, and the cool breeze from the fan wafting over me. If I have to go outside or answer the door, I'll pull on a pair of loose pink capri pants.

Well it IS summer here. Yesterday was worse - it got to 40 degrees C, the air from the fan was hot, and any clothes were too much, although I had to wear some unfortunately.

I recently did purchase, at Frenchy's (Nova Scotia's premiere chain of second hand clotheing stores), a perfect glamourous folkie dress. It's long, black, cotton with an embroidered black on black velvet buttoned bodice and a fringed hem. What those Boston people throw away! Unfortunately I haven't had anywhere glamourous enough to wear it yet, and the cat would go nuts on the fringes if I wore it around the house.

I've got a whole wardrobe of wool plaid--Woolrich, Pendleton, and one that my aunt made for my dad way back when he was my size. Most of them are older than I am, but you can't beat a good wool plaid shirt.

My favorite folkie dress is the stylized Afghan tribal dress my mother bought me for birthday/Christmas when I was fifteen--cobalt blue rayon with embroidery all over the front and big bell sleeves. I wore it so much my brother finally had to beg me not to wear it to his wedding.

Nightshirt and a red tartan longsleeved nightshirt over the top as a dressing gown. Both came from the Salvation Army thrift shop, where I buy most of my clothes. Nothing on my feet - I can't stand them being too warm as that starts of the restless leg syndrome. Oh, and I'm wearing a necklace I also got from the above - checking out to make sure it's silver, which it does seem to be.

Got out of bed an hour and a half ago and I'll get dressed sometime today.
