Memories of my grandmother arriving to the airport in her 1970s rhinestone-studded pantsuits.

Note: Yes, it was the 1970s.

She sure as heck was. She was a fashion model in Los Angeles from the 1950s onward, as a working mother. She dressed like the Rich Housewives women her entire life, with hosiery and heels until the day she died. (Minus of course, the unfortunate pantsuit era).

Wow! I bet she had some great stories! Also I'm totally envious of her life. Gosh, I can just imagine the gorgeous clothes she got to wear (I collect vintage clothing, particularly dresses).

We all raided her closet after she passed. :oops:

I got a copper suede pencil skirt with a slit, from Saks. She was still wearing it with high heels, in her 70s. I wore it to work after the funeral and when people complimented me I said it was my grandmother's. They were a little dumbfounded. Rumour has it that my grandfather never saw her with wet hair or no make up in their 50+ year marriage. Her priorities were a little out of whack, but she had great clothes. She did some fashion design as well.

Heck, I don't blame y'all for raiding her closet, I would have done the same thing. :skull:

Ooh fashion design? That was my dream job as a kid and into my teens. I wish I actually could have done that for real. Did you ever get to see any of her designs?

I saw her designs when I was too young to really care, or understand how cool it was. I kind of rejected her when I was little because we only saw her once a year and she'd spend the whole time making me walk with books on my head. I always felt like I wasn't good enough because I liked to read instead of wearing cosmetics or having perfect posture. She made most of my nightgowns and dresses, as gifts. My mother didn't keep any of them but I still remember some.
