Fun costumes
A couple of weeks ago my sister and I were going through some sexy costumes that we had come across when we were helping Miss J clear out her house. Miss J asked for our help because she is moving into an assisted living apartment and can’t take it all with her. She has living in a five bedroom house (she had five kids!) and had lived there for over fifty years. Naturally she has a LOT of things! My sister and I brought all the costumes home with us; we just couldn’t bear to part with them!
She used to be in a local Lions club that held variety shows as fundraisers for their charities. That was way back in the ’60s. Miss J and our mother performed in those shows, dancing and singing. They made a lot of their own costumes back then; they were great seamstresses! I sure wish that we had videotapes of their shows, but that was before inexpensive video cameras became available to the general public. We have a few silent home movies of their rehearsals, but that just isn’t the same. I’m sure that they would have had a great time if the Internet had been invented back then and they could have used it to find discount sexy costumes to buy online instead of spending so many hours sewing!
