Don't think they'd ever had a female customer. The ancient bloke in charge of the counter (yes they had a counter) shouted out "Any dwarf sizes here? We've got a real shortie!" Different politics then.<br />I loved those overalls - only cut them up for patches a couple of years ago.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746558830862829628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792487461919879599.post-1315746592030248912010-11-13T13:47:47.872-08:002010-11-13T13:47:47.872-08:00grace you are adorable ... i love you and love tha...grace you are adorable ... i love you and love that you make self portraits. you have a lot to teach me about self love.nandashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679913146205462190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792487461919879599.post-64818301507482957942010-11-13T13:46:45.687-08:002010-11-13T13:46:45.687-08:00Great self portrait and I like Yvonne's commen...Great self portrait and I like Yvonne's comment about self portraits...good idea.<br /><br />Do you take a self portrait every year?<br /><br />We never really got into the denim dungarees as work wear in Australia, more overalls made from khaki drill (brand name 'Hard Yakka' ....obviously for 'hard work').<br /><br />Great post.<br /><br />Jacky xoxJackyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347191565099767347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792487461919879599.post-16055736088670639722010-11-13T12:29:41.680-08:002010-11-13T12:29:41.680-08:00Good afternoon now...

Self photos are great doorways to learning - especially when I ask myself questions such as what I like about the photo, what's obvious about the photo, what's missing from the picture, or 'What are some things this picture doesn't show'? It's interesting to notice shifts in how I want to present myself over time and what else moves in and out of the picture.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15865935238557234504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792487461919879599.post-56964029337352698172010-11-13T10:41:27.559-08:002010-11-13T10:41:27.559-08:00Suzanna~yes! i never saw that!
