Re: Girl Talk
Susan and I have been talking a lot about caftans lately, (hmmm, wonder if body size has anything to do with that.) I'm looking for a website that has elegant, silky, flowing caftans. Susan gave me a UK site but they're mostly cotton. Anyone got any wonderful shopping websites?

Re: Girl Talk
Chels, thanks for the great caftan site. :#1: I picked a couple I liked, proceeded to checkout, and found the notation "cannot be shipped to Canadian address". ??? Bummer. I wonder if I had them shipped to my Florida address, would my "change of address" take over and the post office would forward them to Canada? :dontknow:
The thing I love about caftans is that when it is really hot, you don't have to wear underwear. OK, that is my little secret.  And if I wear a caftan to a Crispers luncheon, I don't want any rude questions, OK?

Re: Girl Talk
She wants "Big Sis" to be set free. Despite the tough exterior, "Big Sis" is the only mother "Lil Sis" ever knew after their mom ran away with that doberman.

Bare, Chels, What the hail is a caftan? I thought it was a towel type rag that you wear on your head like Carmen Miranda!! Is it something I may want to wear on the cruise to cover all my rolls and celulite? Ill go check out the website.
Which leads me to another question.......... Sure would like some ideas on what to wear on this cruise to make me feel glamorous and skinny? Any suggestions sistahs???

Re: Girl Talk
Nonie, you may borrow my tomato hat, just understand it doesn't do well in the sun. You may have to replace the tomatoes from the buffet.

Re: Girl Talk
Nonie, when you find something that makes you look skinny you are obligated to share.
I will be wearing the caftans for sure.....with or without underwear....that's something I am not sharing. doh doh

Nonie
Cover yourself with saran wrap from head to toe. When you prespire, you will lose 10 lbs.
