Ever come across such an
astonishing collection of teacups, figurines, model airplanes or cars, shoes,
etc. that is just makes you shake your head? Many people accumulate favourite
theme pieces which hold special appeal, sometimes sentimental, sometimes just
because they like them.
After a Spring purge of my
closet clutter, which was too long overdue, I realized that too many pieces of
clothing resembled animal motifs, as well as a pair of leopard-print cocktail
boots, but thankfully no handbags. That would have been just too-too!
Having accomplished that huge
task, I set myself to the assortment of costume jewellery – sorting through
sets that match - and a few bracelets thrown into the mix. Horror of horrors, a
panther-head bracelet – bling and glitter galore! And a leopard-look necklace and earrings set
from Ooh-La-La boutique.
It seems peculiar, even to
me, that I should have such an assortment of jungle wear – cheetah palazzo
pants included. Grrr- even an animal print satin robe and gown; and
unmentionables seen only by the wearer! Many of these wild possessions have
been relocated to a valise for a future holiday extravaganza, out of sight but
not out of mind!
My Mother always admonished
me to never use a safety pin to secure a skirt hem or button, and always wear
acceptable and clean underwear in case I am ever in a mishap and have to be
rescued! Looks can be deceiving I know,
it makes me purr to think of the paramedics’ reactions even though I know they
are quite used to encountering everything from A to Zoo.
