Hat and Glove Affair

I saw this beautiful picture recently...a book cover, Victorian.

A lady and her man standing under the shade of an open terrace, preparing to embrace the day. This was a day-light affair...a stroll through the gardens, perhaps. It made me think of what we can do today to re-capture the past, the romance, the flare, the fun...

So I went to the Opera. With my Black Satin Gloves. Amazing how one item in one's attire can make such a difference. I almost felt "Victorian." And like out of the Muppets, the old Theatre Man with large ears and looming sideways grey muff hair had to burst up to tell me "Darling, I just LOVE the gloves!"

I did feel special in them, I must say. And it's nice to clap with gloves too. Not good, however, for last minute dashes to the ladies. Nor is, arriving late and running up flights of stairs in Parisian heels :-)

But I got there. And enjoyed the moment.
