Klass is sold in shops and department stores. Monica is her English name. In Greek it would Monika with a K. The Word Klass I wondered whether Klass was German for class. Klasse is German for class, meaning quality, or a school or evening class. Without the e, Klass is a German surname, or, as we say nowadays family name.   The Clothing Company Klass Their website says they are a family business with 150 stores in England and northern Ireland. Established back in 1988. How did I miss them for so long.! Anyway, I have now discovered them.

Angela wearing her red Santa hat. Photo by Angela Lansbury.  I ran an online club meeting with the theme of seasonal celebrations for my public speaking group Online Dynamic. I wore a red santa hat with white edging. This is recognized in many if not most countries of the world. Santa hat used as a prop to advertise the club's Christmas theme meeting. Photo by Angela Lansbury. I wore the same hat yesterday at the physical meeting of HOD club. I used the seasonal hat again in an online poster  Promoting our next HOD meeting, combined with a party and party food. Online for Online Dynamic, an Indian lady who splits her time between Mumbai and Dubai said she thought that Christmas was celebrated everywhere the same as England. With Christmas trees. And an angel on top. And parcels containing gifts underneath. And Christmas pudding containing alcohol. She lived near a Catholic church in Mumbai. She said it was very jolly at Christmas time. Christmas markets. And on the evening of ...

 I keep getting requests on Facebook to say which of three dresses a bride or brother of the bride or guest should wear to a wedding. Often it is a black tie wedding. Wedding Colours - Black Tie First, regarding colour. Black tie means men wear black ties. Co-ordinating with black suits. Sometimes dark blue. My wedding photo from 1976, showing black tie. Photo by Angela Lansbury. It does not mean that women wear black. Unless specifically requested to do so, rarely for a bride, and all her bridesmaids, to wear black, or a black and white colour scheme. Black For Funerals In the UK black is traditionally worn by mourners at a funeral, sometimes by the entire congregation. Men and women. If your hotel has a wedding and a funeral, you want to be sure that the doorman points you to the correct reception room.  The Bride Wears White In The West This fashion was started by the wedding thrown by Queen Victoria for her daughter. White was impractical in the days before washing machine...

 Red Multicolour Bracelet I have a red bracelet with streaks of gold and colour. It looks good with both red and green outfits. I wear it on my left wrist.  I have another green bracelet which has larger round green beads and spacers, but plain green.  It has small white spacers. I could wear a red, white and green outfit to match both bracelets. Or green. Mostly I wear all red, or red and white, or red and black outfits. The green bracelet goes with everything, but could match the other bracelet better, and could match more outfits. It co-ordinates with green, and contrasts with red. Plain Green Bead Bracelet I looked at the green bracelet and thought, maybe I could paint that like the red one. Where can I find paint which won't irritate or poison my skin? I looked at my nail varnish. Just the thing. On the green bracelet you can see traces of the colour I applied on one side. I did not take a picture before painting. But I painted a small streak or bigger blob on each o...

I looked at a garment with a tie at the waist. A bow in the middle. Then I realised. I could do not with a pair of pyjamas which had overstretched elastic. Instead of needing elastic, I could make a temporary fix with a piece of ribbon.  It needed to be fixed to the garment in one place so that it didn't pull through. It also needed to be a wide flat ribbon, not a piece of string which would cut into me. I would prefer one which looked good when tied into a bow or left hanging when on a hanger or folded up. Problem solved. A short piece of elastic could be inserted in the centre back. Maybe cut from another garment. Or simply to save time of money. I could also use the original elastic for half way round, adding a decorative ribbon the front. Please share links to your favourite posts. Bookmark and follow my blog .
