lady in red
i noticed something interesting on my way to the bus this morning. i’m passing the budget car rental when I spy this woman across the street. she’s probably in her mid 50s or so and bursting at the seams with smiling, walking tall, mary tyler moore confidence. it was the flying white-puffballs that attracted my attention. they turned out to be her hands in oversized mittens with a huge fluffy trim. then I took in the whole experience. she had on bright red fleece pants, one of those outlaw josey wales ponchos with fringe reaching from her waist to her knees (same red fleece), and a matching hat with an 8-12″ brim. and she was sporting late 70s 3″ lens sunglasses. it was awesome. then I had to ask myself “when was the pimp wardrobe co-opted by the elders among us?” the masters’ tools will never bring down the master’s house.
