Old fashioned

I have been born into the wrong era. I love glamour. Not the glitzy Hollywood glamour of today but old Hollywood glamour. My look is one of days gone by, classy, feminine no trace of tramp or in today's world 'hot'. In more recent times I'd be the dynasty woman (I don't like 80's shoulder pads - ya uh uh). My friends call me Jackie-O. This look is intimidating to some (okay many) where I'm from. I work in a rural town, population under 2000. There is an invisible fashion line I cross when I go to work and once past it 90% of women don't shop. I am stared at. Admired too I suppose. Once a bank manager from my town informed me she looks forward to seeing me, just to see what I'll be wearing. I was flattered. Course another time a woman who works in another business gave me the once over and declared me insensible in regards to my high heels. Okay they were four inch ones but they looked tres amazing paired with my simple wrap dress. I never wear flats.

I would be nothing in a large city and don't have any high falutin ideas of where I fit in the grand scheme of things there. Even last week in the business/fashion district of the Big City (in town for business)I wore one of my few designer dress outfits and felt less than glam. Mind you that could be because my shoe broke and I had to ask our server for scissors to cut off the strap. That will put you in your place quickly. Head turns weren't coming my way anywhere near as frequent, I blended in.

I march to my own drum in regards to fashion. I'm not edgy, I'm not cool, I'm old-fashioned I'll stick with that.

I like the picture above it reminds me of the look of back-then actesses. I'm not hot and it shows but I do have a rather sensual vibe and that kind of vibe is more a throw back to the days of yore. It's not so in your face with a hammer stuff. Sex appeal is inside out stuff. You can be rather plain but know you're sexy and it translates, I believe it can raise you a point on the beauty scale. So get in touch with your sexy vibe ladies which is quite different than a man getting in touch with his feminine side which just sayin...YUCK.

Firepower mentions a resemblence to Irene Dunne - I can see it. I think in most of her pics she has a more masculine face than I have but this one is similar. Good eye Firepower!
