Before we start a gender war ... can I request a sex change operation please???

ulli! One more for our side! (handing Calz a purple atomizer ...) (adjusting Calz's shoulder pads, not too sure about those, a bit dated) (and (closing eyes briefly) those ah parachute pants ...) (Oh Calz, not sequins on a sweatshirt!) (oh well, she'll figure it out eventually)

Oh, this is brilliant!
Which one of you ladies wants to join me perform the operation?

Well ... if I could keep my eyes shut the whole time ... I'm feeling a bit grossed out by the tomato gravy and biscuits flying everywhere.

Well, you should have thought of that before you gave him all those food recipes of yours!

Not my fault (she mutters indignantly), I didn't know PL had breakfast before he hung himself ...

[Calz]

If I cross the border ... can one of you ladies teach me how to do this one???




Even this would do nicely.




... and with all the problems I already have making up my mind ... how the heck can I handle shoe shopping???

I hear ya!
The way to live life is like this: while shoe shopping was an issue with me
I lived in Notting Hill Gate, London,
and Manolo Blahnik lived upstairs.
He gave me shoes, which my puppy later destroyed. Sigh!

If you don't know who he is, google "Monolo Blahnik shoes Sarah Jessica Parker".
Nowadays I get my shoes in any ol' surf shop. I wear mostly sandals.
I'm tall anyway, so in Costa Rica I don't want to rub that one in...

Once again, for the benefit of mankind (and especially for womankind- here and now) purplelama raises the wand....

*shazaam!*

*timeline shifts*

I do not actually suffer from motion sickness. Therefore, sierra is spared the mess, and I just had a fun ride.

Truce? (before calz does something.... Drastic.)

Too late! Calz is one of us now!!!!
Not showing the picture as it is rather graphic.

It has been a day or two for me since posting. All is fine and well in the forest. Many trees have lost their leaves. The ones surrounding my tent still hold onto theirs and are being tardy in changing color as well. Like me they reluctantly enter the cold weather and barren time of the Northern woodlands.

Yahooo ... here comes the cavalry freshly trained in tent survival.

I am in pretty bad shape here modwiz ... your healing skills in drastic need.

You would *not* believe what they have done to me!!!

Indeed.

I was merciful and didn't show below the neckline ...

I have been reading Calz. The thread has become very.......playful.

Welcome back, Modwiz. I love your name, by the way.
I was once called the Knitwhiz of Europe.
That's because everyone copied my designs, even Kenzo and other Paris designers.
That was International Herald Tribune, I think. Can't remember, exactly.
But the look keeps going, as I made those clothes to last, and people are still wearing them.

I'm sure the moment you leave that spot in the woods those leaves will drop overnight.
It's your energy that's been keeping your trees young.
By the time I leave my apartment in Barbados the Bougainvilla in the big pot by my front door is bright pink.
Maybe it's the Costa Rican coffee grits I put on the soil.

Here is a painting of a shoe by Manolo:


And this is what the Independent Newspaper has to say about these shoes:

Undeniably potent, they convey an electric charge to both wearer and observer. Julia Reed says she wears them for "the same reason that some men carry loaded guns."

My cloaks,coats and tunics are designed by a woman who makes Renaissance wear. Many of the styles are not for me but a few pieces are perfect. I was lucky enough to get her to custom make me two wool tunic one of them very heavy Melton wool. She has not made any tunics in years owing to dye and fabric shrinkage problems. I wish in inspire her to custom make them again with people supplying her with their own fabrics. I hope she will do so, or at least do it for me. Her seamstresses are first rate. I they are not they will not be working for her. My tunics are now 20 years old. Hand washing a drip drying is the secret to maintaining them. Traditional washing for traditional garb.

OMG!!
Modwiz, those are BEAUTY-full!
And she uses the same color combinations I used to use, subtle and soft colors with some bright accents.

The tricks with washing ANY wools is to only use COLD water.
Even lukewarm water can shrink the woollies...

My question is:
Is Callie (Formerly Known as Calz) ready to wear THIS:

Here and now I am stuffed. After all that, lotusblossum really *did* make tomato gravy and biscuits from scratch. Mmmmmmm. Now it's time for a nap here on a sunday afternoon.

A news summary... or, a verbalisation of the situation from the location of a downunder nation

So, now an escalation of the confrontation, avatar transformation and changes of polar orientation
food preparation with explanations and decimation by atomisation. At the termination of this notation
a wizard has come with new information, an indication of a change in vibration as fashion becomes the new fascination

Salutations without deviation to the population!

OK. This picture is a little over an hour old and is taken outside of the Wellness Center where I work for one more week this season. Back to the farmhouse and the wife. Oh yes, the cats. The one pictured here is Simon when he was very young and looked like a Gremlin. He is still the demon he looks like here.

Waking up from a refreshing afternoon nap. The sun has just set and the tree frogs are chorusing.
Apart from that all is quiet. The ocean must be calm, too, as I can't hear any surf breaking.
Once in a while I hear a car passing at the end of the gap.
I still have sone breadfruit left over. Maybe with a little garlic, onion and ginger. A teaspoon of Barbados pepper sauce.
There is a Heineken, too. Haven't had an alcoholic drink in a week.
So happy I am living in a village, with highly enlightened, gifted and funny neighbors.
And none afraid to do some hard work, or to get their hands dirty.
This village will change everything.
