She and her husband, Jack, had attended a Halloween costume party the year before, dressed as leopards. I have to smile at what sort of 'discussion' it must have took to get Jack to do that. He never really had a chance, though, Rita just didn't do 'no'. She loaned us those costumes and let me tell you I looked great with a black nose and whiskers (and piles of eye make-up). I know I have photos somewhere, but they were pre-digital and while I may have scanned them, I haven't got all my photos scanned / organised. I'm getting there.
Rita pointed out that baby leopards have different spot patterns than their adult parents, so it didn't matter that she couldn't match the big costumes exactly. I don't know if that is true about leopards, but it sounded good to me. This was the last year I attended a Halloween party as part of a trio. Thereafter, costumes were just for the kid.
Wearing 'onesies' is somehow popular here in Britain amongst the 20-somethings at university. I've not worked out what that's about, but I can tell you they are very comfy, at least from what I recall...

Hi Shelley
Is a oonsie a jump suit of sorts? I remember the days of wearing them and they were indeed comfortable. Hadn't thought about that in years!
Hi Sanda!
Yes, they are like baby suits - with feet and a hood (for all I know they have gloves, but I haven't really inspected any lately. I saw racks and racks the other day in Primark when I was 'snoop shopping'.
I can't say that one piece anything is practical... when you need to go to the bathroom! I imagine those onesies could be cute in some styles and on some people though.
The leopard picture makes me smile.
(Hope you're well. xo)
That is a really cute outfit, and I guess it is nice and warm for the kids at this time of year too. Double win! Hehe, onesies are popular amongst young people here too... I just don't get it. When I was in my 20's us girls all wanted to look cute and sexy. A onesie is the exact opposite of that!!
How adorable you look. That was a lot of work for your aunt in the days before sergers or easily available stretch fabrics. She must have been a terrific aunt.
Love your new look with the blonde hair, even though I haven't remarked on it before.
Thanks, Beryl, I'm glad you like my blonde hair - everyone does, apparently, though it's not me in the photo. Rita was a wonderful aunt to have, definitely!
