Fashiona

Fashiona and her family are only a few hours away from the university and it is Sunday. Her family stops at Morrison’s(many are closed now) for lunch and see a well-heeled multi-generational group of women from Grandmother to Daughter. Grandpa (looking daper himself) is carrying the grand baby, who is playing with his hat.

Fashiona looks over each lady so she won’t miss a thing. The Grandma is wearing a pillbox hat and decked out in head to toe in white. The mom is out of a 1940’s movie set wearing a wide-brim hat with a net and a two tone double breasted suit (think Film Noir ) Fashiona’s Dad takes a double take and gets playful elbow jab from Fashiona’s Mom. The daughter is about 10 years older than Fashiona is hatless but wearing a green wrap dress with gold sandals. Lovely picture to remember!!!

After lunch, Dad gases up for the last leg. (Remember when gas was well under $2.00, okay so that was 15 years ago.) He pulls up the stop sign at the railroad tracks.

Lo and behold, this GROWN man is passing by on a child’s bicycle with (are you sitting down?)

• Pink Fuzzy slippers with white socks.
• Pink rollers(yes the ones that your grandma still uses)
• And ladies and gentlemen… a freakin’ shower cap

Fashiona clutches her heart in horror, even Dad could usually care less about fashion is appalled. Fashiona wishes that she could start a fashion police squad. His ticket would read:

1. Go home immediately and get some proper shoes
2. Get to the nearest barber shop and get a haircut (Beg for a free one if you have too)
3. Throw anything thing pink in your house
4. Don’t ever try to dress yourself without supervision AGAIN!!!!!
