I also really miss older ladies. I thought about it recently when I saw a woman who was easily in her late 50s wearing a tube top and shorts so short they looked like a bathing suit bottom. She wasn't on the beach. She was walking past Macy's in midtown Manhattan.
I know she was a freak exception (jeans, track suits, and the like are more common) but it made me long for my great-grand and her handmade frocks, wigs (she had lost most of her hair by the time I knew her), and matching belt, bag, and shoes.
Other disappearing objects:
- Metal lunch boxes
- Slips
- Televisions you had to get up to change the channel on. Also, rabbit-ear antennaes.
