Fashion Show

On Wednesday, I attended my first charity luncheon in South Carolina. It was a fashion show to raise money for hospice. It also included an auction of magnum wine bottles, paintings, and various trips or vacation rentals. There was even a silent auction portion.

It was pretty straight forward. Several of the local boutiques made their employees dress in their clothes and walk down the cat walk. It was actually nice for me, since I had no idea most of these stores existed. Most of the clothes were just for everyday wear with a few nicer dresses thrown in. Hands down the best part of the afternoon happened when we left the fashion show. When asked about her thoughts of the fashion show, Milledge's GrandMaMa Punkin had only one thing to say about it.

Punkin: A few of those girls on the stage were bouncing around in those outfits. They needed to put on a panty girdle.

Me: What's a panty girdle?

Punkin: You know what a panty girdle is. It holds everything in place.

(We're in the car and pass two girls walking on the sidewalk in athletic clothes and sneakers. One is a bit heavier than her friend.)

Punkin: One of those girls needs a panty girdle.

Milledge's sister: I think maybe she just needs to run a little more.

Punkin: She needs both those things. I don't know if just one them will help her.


When I got home, I looked on Google to see what exactly panty girdles are. They're just old fashioned Spanx. They look like they were trying to make them attractive, and that's probably why they didn't work as well as Spanx. Everyone looks great in an outfit with a pair of Spanx underneath. NO ONE looks sexy only in Spanx, or putting a pair of them on or trying to take them off.

Restarting the blog!!

I obviously haven't posted on the blog in over a year. I've been really busy though, honestly. Here's some things that I've done since I last posted...

1. Moved back to Palm City.
2. Started working at Victoria's Secret.
3. Spent all my free time in St. Augustine.
4. Got engaged.
5. Got a job teaching. Left Victoria's Secret.
6. Planned a wedding.
7. Left my teaching job.
8. Got married.
9. Moved to South Carolina.

It's been hectic. Now that I'm in SC, not so hectic. I haven't found a job yet so I have plenty of time to update my blog now! Plus, Milledge and I are happily spending time only in Beaufort for awhile. We are over driving somewhere every weekend, and now that we're married we don't have to.

I need a new name for my blog. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
