   Candy didn’t know that practicing her morning Tai Chi on the lakeside whilst wearing her tablecloth/poncho/holey see everything skirt was the reason why no one visited the resort anymore.

   Candy thought she was in for her big break on FitTV. Sadly, the producer of her audition tape was pathetically low budget and didn’t include hair or makeup, or even consideration of costuming. He was just an optimist with a blanket and a camera, hoping to get enough posing done to use both, and sadly she let him, because he was doing her a favor. Even worse, he lied about his cousin working for FitTV and about having his vasectomy, and his ability to identify poison ivy. That day on the lake shore would be remembered for many years to come.

   What she’s got on is a bodysuit. Like a leotard, but with a snap crotch. Am I the only one who remembers those?

   Mel, How do you see the snap crotch? I thought it was just a leotard. But then, I also thought she was wearing a lampshade macrame type thingie over it, so what do I know?

   I vote leotard – those things we wore for ballet lessons and exercise class. But I don’t think that skirt with the phallic tassel is going to enhance her dance moves or her exercise routine.

   I vote body suit! And? I bet she can make the phallic tassel do the ‘Hoochie Coochie’!!!

    “What she’s got on is a bodysuit. Like a leotard, but with a snap crotch. Am I the only one who remembers those?”

    Sadly I remember them too. Oh the pain of my adolescent body sitting with snaps on my naughty bits while listening to Miss Reed talk about sentence structure. As you can see, the lesson made less of an impression on me than did the snaps.

    Leotards were hard to come by in the 70s. Bodysuits, on the other hand, were commonplace.

    I remember being about 6 or 7 and having a cute little skirt and bodysuit combo that was my favorite outfit. Until I needed to go to the bathroom, that is.

    Looks like shes wearing pantyhose. What for? I’ve never heard of a river nymph wearing pantyhose OR a bodysuit. Hope shes got a snap crotch on that thing.

    Candy really did appreciate the hard work that grammie put in making that poncho for her….it’s just that grammie got the number of stitches switched around when it was time to do the neck. *cough…had an aunt that did that, cough*

    I may be mistaken, but I don’t think that’s a tassle on the front, I think she has one of those home made crocheted tampons hanging around her waist. (Just in case, you know.)

    Was this spun, er, crocheted by the same offender, I mean, fiber artist as that “Kiss of the Spider Woman” shawl/throw/net thing a few weeks ago???

    Crikey! Yorkie had it right in the beginning. That’s why I don’t go there anymore….

    It’s a Sporran! And this is just her interpretation of a Kilt Macrame Moderne…

    It’s a promo for The Ring III – seven days after watching the tape, your tablecloth will strangle you.

    You all know the old saying, give a woman a fish and she’ll eat for a day, teach her to crochet a skirt/fishnet combo and she’ll eat for life.

    Candy was upset with her new girlfriend. This was somehow not her ideal form of carpet munching.

    I was at a party this last Friday night, and I saw this outfit ON A REAL LIVE HUMAN BEING, in public. I laughed so hard, not so much at the actual outfit, but for seeing it here on your site FIRST. For three hours during the party I looked for anyone esle that may resemble a threadbared post
