What a natural beauty. Very little people are stylish most are trendy. Say no more you can see how stylish she was from miles away. Greta use to say you either have the look or not you can't buy it. Love this photo.

@jimmycat I'd kill for a gorgeous nose! I'm Italian and use to dream about those cute little noses. Like Steve Martin in the movie Roxanne π but my family would kill me if I had a nose job.π

@jimmycat aww thank you! Oooh tattoos π I've never gotten one! I had girlfriends that decided to go get tattoos one night when we were 22ish, but I didn't go. The next day I saw them. One had a tequila worm playing a ukulele with a sombrero on her boob. I saw my friend a few years ago, and at 50.. The worm looks like a caterpillar π

@jimmycat Skyler knows we are trying to find you that perfect Chanel dress in black & white? @styleforgrab sheβs good in that, more currently informed with stores too. I think, soon, 1st markdowns will start in all the designer stores?

@ally_marc @styleforgrab Thank you so very much ladies! There was a black-and-white one here, which I was trying to buy but couldnβt get an answer from the seller about the length. I just ordered a PAROSH from far fetch. Itβs very pretty in a blue color. I also ordered a black halo Jackie O in a rare color called maliblue! Nordieβs found it for me in California!

@ally_marc @styleforgrab e. I have no idea if these dresses will work out, but light blue or pale gray is also an option! The event is quite formidable and I do need to be perfect so Iβm glad I have a few weeks! π€£Thank you so very much! You gals are the best!πππππΌππ₯°

You both introduced me to so many beautiful outfits, and in fact I have not quite yet decided what I will wear tomorrow!π¬Your support and friendship has meant so much from a far and I canβt tell you how much I love you girls!ππππππ

@ally_marc @styleforgrab just a fashion update, the PAROSH from Italy is not going to work out because it had a little spot on it and the cleaners have destroyed it! Oh well! So now it is between two Victoria Beckhamβs that I have picked out, or the cutest little Antonio Melani dress from Dillards! Ha ha! I set up a challenge to see if I could do the outfit for under $100! So I have two $100 options, and then I have the two Victoria Beckhamβs! Too funny!ππ

@laureneagle1 Hi Lauren! I just had to write you a quick note that I read your thread under your Fendi three pocket bag and was very moved by that. Your generosity, the way you framed your ideas, and the breath of your thinking in talking to this Posher about Mothers was really powerful. Just wanted to share that with you.

@damiangray this is my mama. She went to Sarah Lawrence college, and after graduation she moved to New York and became a Ford model! She was on the cover of Mademoiselle, in 1948! I think she was probably a lot like your mama⦠way ahead of her time, fiercely independent, outspoken, and courageous. I would just kill to play chess with her one more time!

damiangray
@jimmycat She's absolutely stunning!..It's clear how much you and I both admire our mothers. I talk to mine everyday..really miss our conversations & her insights..Especially around the day of the Derby. She always had a great recap of the race.
Nov 13Reply
jimmycat
@damiangray I wish I could have met her, Leslie. She sounds absolutely extraordinary, and sounds a lot like my mom! I wonder what year she was born? Mine was born in β 26!
Nov 14Reply
jimmycat
@damiangray Gals of their generation were made from a very special fabric, thatβs for sure! Was she a single mother? Mine was, raising me all by her self after I turned 10. She did not really have any job skills, so after my dad divorced her she went to work as a security guard at the Frito-Lay plant at night & delivered newspapers during the day. She was super well educated in the liberal artsβ¦But no marketable skills.ππΌπ€

damiangray
@jimmycat I loved your replies..yes she was a single mom,the youngest of 11 childern..we are 11 generations on the Cape. Hyannis..I went to 14 schools traveling with the racetrack..the eternal " new girl" .until she decided I was getting too grown up to be on the track at about age 10. She left home at 13,modeled in Boston ,shared lunch with the nice man who swept the train stations..
Nov 14Reply
damiangray
@jimmycat she came back to the Cape & married Val Tarbell who died when she was 6 mos.pregnant We has a summer house in Centerville She taught herself to train horses,then when we settled in NY taught herself to breed & show schnauzers.. & groomed dogs..A prosperous living, all cash. after that dhe put herself thru broadcasting school and had commentated a weekly TV show on Saturdays called " "Race of the Week from Bowie"
Nov 14Reply
damiangray
@jimmycat Afterwards she became a paddock judge at Roosevelt & Yonkers and when fired, won a case against the racing board for " ageism" taking on the racing board was unheard of but she did it & won. No matter what or where we lived she made sure I had all the things that the other girls had on top of ballet & riding lessons at Claremont in Central park. yes they were of the same stock..she was born in 31.
Nov 14Reply
damiangray
@jimmycat Amazing...Neither of our moms had marketable skills but did what they had to do and were gorgeous and brave while doing it. I love that I've met you. Funny, we both traveled simile paths, the horse circuit..You with the classic show circuit and me with the racetrack. One can't buy the kind of education, insight and self-discipline our mothers provided us with.

@jimmycat My husband is so impressed that you attended RISD.. To be accepted you must have had high grades and tremendous talent..Bravo you!
Nov 14Reply
jimmycat
@damiangray Oh I love her life story, Leslie. Yes youβre right, they both did what they had to do, followed their passions, and were brave every step of the way. I love that I have met you, too, someone with a mom so very similar to mineβsomeone who carries on, and continues to be inspired every day by an unusual, totally remarkable woman who blazed her own path!ππΌβ¨ Did you lose her recently?
Nov 14Reply
jimmycat
@damiangray oh thank you! I loved every second at RISD! every single moment!! I had the most eccentric professors ever! I tell your husband, interestingly, no I did not have good grades!!π I think I just got lucky!! It was the most wonderful place in the world in 1986, and I had a boyfriend in Boston! The rest of my family lives in Gloucester!
Nov 14Reply
damiangray
@jimmycat Gloucester!..Mere towns away! π€£ Yes, Art said if grades weren't always up to snuff, then talent subsidized at that school.
My mother passed away on Easter in 2016. And yours?
Each 4th of July I visit family on the Cape & look forward to my little ritual of sprinkling ashes off the dock of our Centerville house..Where we crabbed, clammed,prunedcrose bushes picked berries and rowed our little boat. The sun is always bright. the clouds puffy and the sky a cornfield blue.
Nov 14Reply
jimmycat
@damiangray That is a beautiful image, Leslie⦠The Centerville dock and the expensive sky.
You must miss her so very muchβ to lose her on Easter is just so powerful. We are so lucky to have them while we do, I only hope to be half the woman my mom was! She left us on December 20, β06. I always leave pink roses on the big rock where she would leave cat food out for the ravens! They gathered around and waited for her every morning.
Nov 14Reply
damiangray
@jimmycat That's an interesting connection she had with the ravens..I don't know much about them other than they're known to be highly intelligent and in some cultures very spritual.
She has beautiful coloring your mother....At quick glance she reminds me of Ines' de la Fressange...Lagerfeld's muse & the former face of Chanel & Vivier.
Nov 15Reply
jimmycat
@damiangray @damiangray Yes, Leslie, she did look a lot like Ines! Mama had a bit of a broader face with a high cheekbones & super strong chin! But they definitely share that lookβ¦ Handsome beauty, vibrant, & unique. A different version of pretty that I have always admired! itβs been such a joy to visit with you, to meet your gorgeous talented Mama, Elizabeth, and to see your amazing closet!π§‘β¨
