Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Speaking of ladies compression stockings reminds me of my Aunt Betty when the brother and me were kids, she always got dolled up on a Saturday night to go out, where to we hadn’t a clue nor did we care, she was probably in her thirties at the time.
She had nice smooth unblemished white legs but she always put this light brown creamy stuff all over them to make it look like she had nylons on. She’d then wash it off her hands and the next thing was she opened a round box of powder with a kind of hand mop fluffy thing inside and she patted powder all over her face, lastly came the screaming red lipstick. Then it was on with the coat and out the door. We never saw her come back because we were in bed asleep by then.
She seldom smiled and I often wonder what she had on her mind back then, some man no doubt.
This is a Red Lipped Batfish, Aunt Betty looked something like this old girl of the sea when she frowned, the lips are exactly the same colour red.
So ladies (and of course the few gents) next time you have lipstick on and feel like a frown take a look at this picture, you may want to smile instead.
