PENNY LOAFER. Who remembers those??!! LOL

Funny you should mention them Jet...I still have a pair my in-laws gave me for Christmas a few years after I got married...I take care of them like babies cause they are hard or impossible to find...I love my Bass Penny Loafers...


Penny Stocks
 

 Very interesting you still have penny loafers, CEK!!!  Hubby and I were just talking about them the other nite.  I never had a pair because I have very wide feet, a high instep, and narrow heel, so they would stay on....if I could even get my Cinderella stepsister's foot into them!!  I felt so deprived as a kid when they were in vogue!!!  LOL

Rumor: Nick Viall Attitude Nightmare On The Set Of Dancing With The Stars


Not sure how true this is since it’s coming from a tabloid, but, Radar Online is reporting The Bachelor and Dancing With The Stars contestant, Nick Viall, is a “nightmare” on the set. More below. Be sure to read the link for more and let us know what you think in comments. I hope this isn’t true. Poor Peta if it is!


“They have already started doing some promo work for the upcoming season,” a production insider told Radar.


“The producers and other people on staff for DWTS are saying that Nick is one of the most arrogant and self-entitled people that they have ever had on the show!”


“He was trying to negotiate a higher salary than anyone else since he also appears on The Bachelor.”

EXCLUSIVE‘Arrogant’ Nick Viall Unleashes Nightmare Behavior On ‘DWTS’ Set 'He is just extremely hungry for fame,' claims a source.

I was wondering what happened to Denim...LOL

I remember that the plan was for it to be carried by all major outlets/chains.  Not so, apparently. 
 

I guess not...

 
LOL. Apparently it didn't "take off"!  I actually think Maks may have repped some of the products rather than having a business interest in them.  No risk that way.  I think it was the same with Cantamessa.  Appears that is no longer a functioning business relationship either.

So we are getting some female pedestrian crossing lights to reduce 'unconscious bias' as part of a push for gender equality.  No, it's not 1st April.  It's just Australia. 


I haven't worked out yet why wearing a skirt makes you more of a woman.  But what do I know.....

Interesting Gabriele...I can't tell you the last time I had on a skirt or dress...

 Could it be because men don't normally wear skirts??!!!  😜LOL. LOL.  I have mused lately on how unisex we seem to have become as a society.  When you see kids walking to and from school, all are dressed almost identically....males and females.  Having been the girl in school who probably most hated having to wear a dress, I guess I am still old fashioned enough to think that it is nice to have some level of distinction between the sexes.  Regardless of our current social "norms" (or lack thereof, perhaps?), it is very nice to see women and men nicely dressed for appropriate occasions.  For the record, I actually wore a skirt to the 99th birthday party we attended recently!!!  Not like I don't own them....I just prefer comfort as a general rule!!!  LOL
