Those jerks at the dry cleaners left a tiny nick in the dress (detail in the photos), but it’s super small! If anyone is eagle-eyed enough to spot it, it could be a great conversation starter! “Oh, this? Funny story - I was in Ireland when Martin Sheen lurched towards my table with a butter knife in one hand…”
It belonged to my Great Aunt who was very colorful. We have saved it “as is” because of its history. Her haunts included New York and New Jersey. She had gone to a wedding in Atlantic City where she claimed that the hotel was so glorious that there was real fur on the windows for drapes! She was a beautiful slender bleached blond who loved life and played hard. She could sing and dance. She also had a notorious boyfriend. They were out with friends and a killing took place. This dress got some blood splatter on it. Two small velocity spots on the back, which show in the photo if you look close because they are small and a few more on the front and back of the bottom of the dress. You can see where a spot near the knee had been attempted to be wiped off but her friend had told her to leave it as the dress would be her proof if she needed it. Not sure what that meant but that is how the story was told to me. One relative had tried some CSI research and was told it looked possible.
I bought them thinking they were womens and didn’t realize they were mens until I put them on my mannequin and I could NOT for the life of me figure out why they were not fitting right! Here I had them on backwards AND I had the “manly” part in back
OOPS!
I bought these boots from the former business manager of the Rolling Stones, who used to wear them backstage during their tours in the ’70s…She sold them to me because, sadly, she’s now down on her luck and needed to find a way to pay the rent on her beautiful Upper West Side apartment.
It’s a sad story. I got married in Venice, Italy. Because we were taking our honeymoon on the Mediterranean, we had a lot of baggage. I paid for my 2 brothers, my BFF and my pastor to fly to Italy a day earlier. My BFF held the paper tickets (they were not e-tickets-so they had to be presented at check in). My BFF got drunk the morning of her flight (she held all four tickets) and missed the flight, as did my other 3 family members). My pastor had my dress. There were not other flights and there wasn’t time to get my dress from Dallas to Wimberley. Thank God I had a beautiful reception dress to wear. I was devistated.
I used these for my performances on the 24th and 25th of April and three rehearsals before that, but that’s it. But on the day of my performance, instead of my normal Rocketdog sneakers (they were my favorates!). Everything went very well until I had to go home, I can’t find my Rocketdog sneakers anywhere! Obviously they were stolen!
THE CHILD’S MUFF IS ILLUSTRATED WITH AN ACCOMPANYING PHOTOGRAPH FROM THE 1920′S, IN THE CITY OF TORONTO, ONTARIO. The fur muff we believe is the older of the two, that belonged to the little girl’s mother, Maude (Sheridan) Reid, the wife of Rev. J. Ewing Reid, of Indian Road, in Toronto.
I am a real estate agent in the Minneapolis area and one of my clients was a back up dance for Jessica Simpson when she 1st started her career. She gave me these pants for helping her find a house and she told me they were Jessica’s. She said that whatever clothes Jessica didn’t want she gave to her.

I was chatting with the manager of the store where I purchased these. We were talking about the smocking, because I wasn’t sure.
She said Karen, this is the only kind of top I buy now. Because it hides my JUNK.
So I laughed. And then went and tried one on. Because if there is one thing I own. It’s a tummy. LOLWell, LOW & BEHOLD. I was SHOCKED!
I just couldn’t believe how flattering this style is!
It HID MY JUNK! And it’s not in my trunk!!! LOL
IN THE 90′S THERE WAS A LOT OF GANG VIOLENCE AND DRUG DEALING IN THE US. THE POLICE AND THE DARE PROGRAM HAD TO STOP PRODUCTION OF THESE PARTICULAR T-SHIRTS. THE REASON BEING WAS THE DRUG DEALERS AND GANG MEMBERS WOULD OBTAIN THESE SHIRTS AND WEAR THEM SO THEY THOUGHT THE POLICE WOULDN’T IDENTIFY THEM AS GANG AND DRUG DEALERS. THEY WERE MEANT FOR KIDS PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM. THE POLICE COULDN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE GOOD GUYS AND THE BAD GUYS.
