RW,
NO-O-O-O-O-O.
I am a Midwest girl, only farther south than Chicago.
I was trying to figure out what the Chicago girls on here were talking about with that tied on the chin thing. Being a Midwesterner, I was too polite to say, "What the :edit:?"
Nobody in my town did that. And we were a lot closer to Chicago than California. I guess we must have wished we all could be California girls.
Of course, we were busy being freaks in our own way. When we were not creating those big messes on those class rings, we were polishing white tennis shoes (Keds I think) with white shoe polish and wearing them with stockings. I think we thought it made our legs look so much better than they did in socks. But why we picked tennis shoes I will never know. Nobody played tennis.
Who would have thought that a discussion of babushkas could be so much fun. I was telling Mr. BB about this and he had no idea what I was talking about so I had to try to demonstrate by using a towel. I still don't think he gets it.
