Ahh, Lips...It's the glam idea and I love the shape. Almost as curvy as me....oops sorry guys I'll give myself a slap on the wrist..hang on...noooo, I've started it again...must stop...I promise I'll
as I'm digging a hole for myself.

Besides there is no glam in air travel these days. I have a wonderful documentary on a Pan Am 707 and it just oozes style and romance. That is why I watch Catch Me If You Can as often as I do or listen to Swing when Matt is out, he'd kill me if I listened to it when he's with me, pouring cawfee out of a Pan Am cawfee jug....ahhh *goes misty eyed* romance! I wasn't born then and sometimes I wish I had.
The days when Mission Control men wore McDonnell or Boeing or Grumman shirts with black ties, men wore suits everyday and girls wore really pretty dresses and cat eye sunglasses.
What do we have now? Trakkies and fake Burberry baseball caps and listen to manufactured pap. I'd rather live in my rose tinted world that see that s
e round town. This is what things should still be like...if only...total glam!
Oh well...I'll get back to listening to Johnny Keating and Stan Kenton.
