Apparently it really happened ten years ago, but I didn't live here then.Puzzicato said:Dear god - tell me that is a joke?!
So were they talking about you or the people on TV?

And she was talking about the people on tv, but thought we were them.
Oh wow, that's good to know! People told us that story when we first moved here, but I never actually googled it. Makes me feel a bit betterPuzzicato said:Oh well that's good - at least random people in your town weren't talking about you behind your back!
Your dog needs to learn not to talk to strangers...
ETA - fortunately it looks like the other thing is a bit of an urban legend http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4719364.stm although the vandalism is bad enough!
MirandaFern said:I discovered that my mother has me in a "Beauty Box". That is, she is convinced that I need to wear certain colors and not deviate from that. If it were up to her, I would still be wearing the first shade of shell pink lipstick she bought me when I was in 8th grade.
She nearly flipped out at the Estee Lauder counter (we go shopping togehter once a month), when I selected "Classic Red" lipstick as my free gift with purchase, telling the Make-Up Lady that I'm a "Pink Girl." So red lipstick has gone on the list of "Things Not to Buy when Mom is Around, Lest She Say Something Snarky"...other list items include Twin Sets, Spectator Pumps....
Fiance says he doesn't care what color my lipstick is, he just doesn't understand why I need a whole range of shades..."Isn't Red just RED?"
There used to be a lady in our town who ran a restaurant and she used to dress top to toe in forties every day, even when she was at the outdoor market buying fruit and veg with the rest of us mere mortals, she used to wear seamed stockings and rolls in her hain and a smart suit with a fur tippet, she was an inspiration and i used to gawp i have to admit when she walked past as she just looked so amazing all the time!MaryMary said:Do any of you ladies encounter other women in full vintage a lot? I have never actually seen anyone else dress in head to toe vintage like I've been known to...usually in Toronto people tend to more "mix and match" wearing a vintage dress with modern accessories or vintage bag and shoes.
For the first time ever, while I was driving, I saw a woman walking down the street with victory rolls in her hair. I yelled to my boyfriend in the passenger seat (he is now deaf) "OMG! Did you see that lady??? She had victory rolls! VICTORY ROLLS!!!" And I proceeded to turn the wheel in the direction I was looking. I would have ended up in the opposite lane of traffic if my b/f hadn't jerked the wheel back!!! He then said he was trying not to be insulted from the fact that this was the most excited he had seen me in ages! lol
