Hey All,

I have pictures up. I picked through and just put up SOME pictures. When
I get better pictures from the wedding (I will be getting a CD of wedding
pictures eventually) I will put up some of those. I'm hoping for good pics
of the boy in his suit since I talked with y'all about that. And I promise
to put up more pics of some of the GORGEOUS saris that were worn.

http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=o3492qh.7c1il27h&x=0&y=lbqjxu&localeid=en_US

There are 3 pictures in there that I took (or had DH take) especially for
you guys!! They are all from the Royal Ontario Museum's costume and
textile exhibit. Some really gorgeous things in that exhibit!!

Here's a link to the ROM's website with some more pictures of SOME of the
textile collection
http://images.rom.on.ca/public/index.php?function=browse&action=result&sid=&ccid=

Here http://www.rom.on.ca/exhibitions/wculture/textiles.php is a page about
the exhibit. And you will see there, that one of the pictures has a side
view of a dress in one of my pictures. ;) (It's a Dior original; GORGEOUS
thing!! and they had pictures of the lining and built in corset. amazing
work!)

I thought I'd have to smack a woman in the exhibit too. I'm basking in the
glow of being 4 feet from a Givenchy custom tailored suit, and a Dior
couture gown, that truly is a Christian Dior gown (was made about 10 years
before his death).......just truly in awe. Two of the most gorgeous things
I've ever seen. (and they both looked to be nearly my size!!! Well, OK.
The Givenchy maybe a size too small.....control top hose all I have to say;
and the Dior was maybe a size or two too big for me......Krispy Creme would
save me there!!! LOL) Anyway! This gal comes cruising around the
corner and says "These aren't old!!!!!!! These are from like....NOW!! Why
would they take up room with these things????"

I know you are all so proud of me because I'm not writing this from a
Canadian jail cell.

I picked up my jaw, turned to the woman and said, "The exhibit is showing a
range of clothing and how things changed over the centuries. These are
both more modern, although the red dress over there (said in sickeningly
sweet southern style) is more than 60 years old. This red suit is a
Givenchy (and yes I pronounced it jee-von-shay) one of a kind. That red
dress is a Dior custom made gown, made in his lifetime. If you want two
really fabulous examples of "modern" design, you can't do much better than
these." Then I gave her that special smile we all reserve for when we are
really being rude but we don't want to look it. ;) She stammered out
a "oh well...oh, um..I guess you're right about that. Didn't think of it
that way." Then she walked away from the crazy lady with the weird
sounding accent. (I sure don't sound like a native up there. LOL)

I knew y'all would be sooooo proud of me. heh heh heh I just could NOT
stop my mouth from saying something. I did manage to stop my hand from
popping her on the back of the head though....it's the small victories
y'know.....

Thank you Joanne!!! She was Really special. LOL I knew you would be one
of the ones who really appreciated it. I was kinda glad/sad you and/or
Beverly weren't with me. It woulda got Ugly if you two were there with me.
We couldn't have all stopped ourselves. heh heh


Oh!! Too I have to mention the cafeteria in the basement of the ROM. A $9
hamburger sounds expensive, but they have one that is a heckuva deal. Save
this idea for when any of you want a food crime. About a 1/3 lb (at least)
hamburger. And it had to be ground sirloin, it was really good beef to
start with. Then they top it with bacon, caramelized onions, a slice of
brie and a grilled portobello mushroom cap. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It was Fabulous and well worth $9. (you also get fries with it, and their
fries actually taste like potatoes!!!! GASP) So not only did we get to
see marvelous things (I didn't even tell y'all about the Asia
exhibit....6,000 year old jade bracelets from China, and on and on) we had
a marvelous meal too. They say the cafeteria has something to suit just
about anyone's tastes and they really do.

Sharon
Yeah, I'm waiting for supper to finish cooking. Can you tell I'm a little
hungry??? lol

A friend says that's the only possible response when someone says
something unbelievably stupid and you need to be a little bit polite --
"Well, isn't that special!" LOL

That hamburger certainly sounds tasty. I had a portobello burger at the
Cheesesteak Factory while visiting family in Orlando, and that was the
best ever. I'm not much for meat, especially 1/3 of a pound! That
would last me several days. But the grilled portobello, onions, cheese
- now that I can get behind. I made myself a portobello burger -
marinated it briefly in olive oil, wine and garlic vinegar, oregano and
basil, then grilled it, and added a slice of provolone to melt onto it,
served on an onion roll with lettuce and sliced onion. Wasn't half bad.

I hope you had a good meal before reading. ;-)

I plan to visit DGD in Orlando just after Christmas, and will request she &
BF take Gramma to the place mentioned. Like you, I'm not much on meat, but
that burger sounds delicious. Thanks for the hint.
