Hello Everyone! In the heat of the summer, nothing spells relaxation like a long shower and putting on a cool clean lounge around the house outfit...making an ice cold drink...and just winding down in comfort. It's the absolute BEST feeling after being at work...out and about or busy around the house on a hot hot day. And oh how we used to love cotton! In the past, I could find all manner of cheap cute cotton tops and lounge dresses at the grocery store...or the discount stores...for summer fun...and it was super cute too! I'd see something cute and just throw it in my grocery basket right by the junk food. Lol...the term "Perfect Storm" comes to mind, but I digress. I now think some of these cheap imports may have contributed to some of our current skin issues...but this thread (no pun intended, though it would have been a good one) is about fun and happiness for us...not about regrets over past actions taken unknowingly. However...cotton...even high quality cotton...is not our friend right now. But...synthetics are are wonderful and happy newly re-discovered friends! Hey! I'm having a flashback to the seventies...where are my high waisted polyester bell bottoms and matching slick polyester button down shirt? Lol...they are long gone, thank goodness...but the fabric...if you can even call it that has some great qualities we, as toxic disease sufferers can embrace. Polyester...nylon...etc...are all bullet proof in the wear and tear department and silky smooth on our skin...no itching...nothing untoward in the fibers...just a little bit hot unless you get the right style for the season. So...if you're like me...you've spent so much money working on kicking this disease out that going out and spending MORE is just not on the game plan. However...we all need some go to things to survive in, and I've found a great idea that is so cheap you won't believe it. Just go to ebay and do a search for vintage nylon night gowns. I've found all kinds of things there...and even though most of these items are used, there's no way anything could stick to those fabrics...so...no contamination! The fabric and workmanship are so ironclad that the items all look great. It's hard to destroy these kinds of garments, so there are many available. If you order, just throw them in the washer and do your regular nuke the fire out of it laundry techniques the minute you open the package and you'll put your mind at ease. I've purchased these and have had no problems at all. I've also found a few "new old stock"...some even with tags on ebay that are just amazing. Most of these night gowns are from the sixties...so...they are hilarious...they make me think about the old series "Green Acres" where Eva Gabor wore her fancy peignoir set to work around the farm. These kinds of night gowns (minus any feathery boas) are perfect for us because they won't itch, they wear like iron...you can wash them endlessly, and they're super cheap. Did I mention super cheap? Yes! Most of these are less than ten dollars...many of them are in the five and six dollar range! AND...if you have some of these beauties in your wardrobe, you'll feel so very elegant...and that's a great feeling that all of us need right now. We definitely need some beauty and glamour back in our lives. I'm going to email Mel some pix I took of these lovely creations so he can add them to this post...but they are just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to have some fun, make yourself an icy cold goblet of lemonade (the kind that will get M on the run) and sit down at the computer and go shopping! It's just so entertaining...so much so that I've wasted quite a bit of time this morning that really needed to go to something else...but sometimes you just need to get your mind off of the disease and all of life's other responsibilities...and this is free entertainment...unless you order, and even if you do, it won't break the bank. I'm going to order two...I've given myself a budget of less than $20 and may even be able to get three if I can get the prices and shipping right. ..and it'll be SO much fun to shop. So...my sisters...enjoy enjoy enjoy...you all deserve some fun and elegance and so much more. Love, Karen | ||||||

Hey Karen, Those suits were a bit scary. Also scary, the fact that people wore them and liked them at the time. Ha. Remember the 80's when hair just couldn't get high enough? Trends :-) I can't imagine what Mel must have been like back then either. When Mel said that he used to wear a ruffled shirt and jeans to go out, I thought that Mel must have looked a lot like a Spanish dancer. Then I get quite an opposite picture when I think of a rough hockey player. It does sound like he would have lots of great stories. Mel, the two of us and many here are thankful for the wonderful, kind things you do to help us and others. Nobody made you, Mel. You just do it. I greatly appreciate it. Cheryl | ||||||

Hi Cheryl, HA! I can only imagine Mel in something like that...though I think it would scare us both...me looking at him, and him if he saw himself in the mirror. Speaking of the seventies...Mel is quite entertaining in telling his stories of living in Manhattan at that time. He was actually in the thick of the happening crowd...a regular at Studio 54 at night and modeling and playing semi-professional hockey by day. He's a force to be reckoned with at age 72, so I cannot even imagine what he was like back in the day. But...Mr. Mel...we're all so grateful for your endless energy and enthusiasm and the fact that you're here for us. And so...because of this, I'll remove you from the Chateau Bow Wow for insulting my glamorous lounge wear choices. Love, Karen | ||||||
