Oh shit, she was too cool. The apple didn't fall far.
The photos I have of my mother around that same time are of her sitting on the picnic table in the backyard being a passive-aggressive bitch to the neighbors and yelling at my father. Oh, the glamour.
she had some amazing threads. it's a travesty that she didn't keep any of it. well, i do have one coat and a couple of scarves, but that's it. save your clothes for your daughter (if you have a girl) fashion is cyclical!

too cool. Old photos of my parents are some of my favorite things. They weren't quite as well-traveled as your fabulous mom, but they were pretty god damn hip... ;)
