Never mind the fancy clothes!

I can't stand people who judge me by the way I dress. If I have to choose between an intelligent person in track dags to someone who dresses very well but bores me to death with their run down of the next designer outfit they own, I would rather spend my time with the one who is going to stimulate my mind.

Last December hubby and I were in a shopping centre in Brazil and I was looking for a pair of cuff links for my nephew and when my husband asked the sale girl if she had any with .. He didn't get to finish his sentence and she said,"No!" most abruptly.

Of course that p^%&%& him off and spoiled his mood and mine that afternoon.

When we got home and related the incident to my mother-in-law she said, "That's for wearing your pyjamas to the shop!" We were dressed casual but we were neat and clean.

Last weekend when we were in Sydney I had to laugh....

As we were strolling along George street near Chinatown and this tall,slim woman who had black lacy stockings on and a very smart dress walked towards us and naturally my hubby was impressed and had a second look at her. Then suddenly you hear, "Heeerrgg Heerrrg pooi"
In went the spit into the dustbin skilfully dispensed. Satisfied that she has dislodged all she wanted from her throat, she strutted off in her black heels.

Both of us cracked up laughing. As the saying goes, " You can take the village girl out of the village but you can't take the village out of her."
