Dress Of The Day with Angela

 I haven't got a thing to wear I've bought two wigs, and dyed my hair The real problem's my summer clothes My winter ones are lost in those I can't shop wearing a swimsuit A swim hat looks wrong buying fruit Stained item? Cut, make patch, or rag Lost button! Throw in the sew bag I see my red Christmas jumper Found my old favourite number Sorting your life's good for the soul I'm pleased and proud I'm in control Instead of wasting all my time Browsing to buy more clothes on line I view my spare room as a treasure A home jumble sale of pleasure Would I wear dull old things in grey? I ought to throw them all away No, sell them. Yes, another day I don't have enough time today Stuff summer clothes in spare suitcase To store them in some other place An attic, basement, spare room drawer? Or boxes in a Shurgard store Make sure each suitcase has a label Photograph them if you're able Match up the colours, fold or roll In a cardboard box, tote bag, bowl Sorti...

 I have made this memor for my own use. I am not a doctor, so please consult a doctor before you are ill. Packing Protective Clothes I went away for a week to a conference centre. I did not pack panty liners, padded incontinence pads, or plastic knickers, nor throwaway panties.  When I got severe diarrhea, I regretted not having emergency panty liners and panties. These panty liners come in singles and sets of three or more. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. Discreet Underwear You can also buy from a large drug store in the USA or a chemist's shop in the UK or a pharmacy or pharmacies.in other counties a branded product which is underwear, usually disposable and padded all over for incontinence or a tummy bug, also known by slang terms such as the runs, and idioms, often alliterative with the local country or city name such as Delhi belly, Spanish tummy and traveller's tummy. In London I received leaflets with vouchers in a letter box drop leaflets through the letter box, I...

  Photo by Trevor Sharot. I have several Anthony Sicari outfits. Just search on this blog. This one is what I chose to wear for the AGM and wine tasting and fish and chips or chicken and chips supper at the Welwyn Wine Society. Bearing in mind I could spill red wine, or get grease or cutty stains on my front, I chose a darker top instead of my more summery white background Anthony Sicari outfit. Here is the white one. Also size ten. You see what I mean about the white one being more vulnerable to red wine stains. The label with the American flag is cute, isn't it! Photo by Angela Lansbury. I had pinned the matching scarf onto the white outfit. Easy to find. Won't get lost. Nor forgotten. Easy to fold or hang neatly. Photo by Angela Lansbury Just a quick reminder about this label. It was big in the USA in the late 1900s. You can find lots of them on ebay. The cost of sending them to the UK means they are expensive for us in England, cheaper for you when you are in the USA, if yo...

Angela wearing sky blue applique top, with hand-drawn birds. Photo by Trevor Sharot. I rescued this pretty top. I loved the applique, the sewn on swirls. Applique is the French adjective for applied. Applied, applied to clothing. Stains On closer inspection, I saw why the pre-loved garment's owner had thrown it out. The fabric was white - but with small brown stains! I disinfected it with water and detergent. Then tried removing the brown stains with bleach.  The stains faded a bit. But not enough. I was afraid to keep doing day after day, because the garment was too delicate.  Dye So I dyed the garment pale blue. I loved the blue.  But the pale, coffee-coloured spots were still there! How c ould I hide them? Drawing Birds I had first tried the hand-drawn flying wing birds in black on my son's thick hooded sweatshirt. Just two arches, like a flattened McDonald's arch. Easy to draw. (I learned that in my art class at Writer's Holiday, from our teacher Susan Alison.)  ...
