Leaving etiquette behind is a big shocker for those who still observe it. Another measure of conformity, which these ladies ‘did’ in spades. So I think she’ll follow the dictates even unto death. Too bad.
Just imagine the amount of hair spray that went into those doos? They didn’t need a pillow to sleep, the lacquer not only held their hair in place but kept their heads elevated when they slept.
The three things I was glad to see disappear during the 60s were bouffant hairdos, bras, and girdles!
Where are your elbows, June? On the table, perhaps? Those are the perils of eating organic*. Never considered that, did you? Pearls must be another story.

I am intrigued at the notion that your degree of etiquette determines the fashion (ahem) of your death! That’s quite a contribution to the philosophy of Death.

… she has lines on her face…
She died in the bathtub, which the deal is for seal. A death wish included scrubbing bubbles clean.

…a school district in Texas has outlawed girls from wearing dresses & skirts…
…when I was growing up…
…girls were only allowed ‘to’ wear dresses…

…professionalism…
…the article says nothing about yoga pants…
…shorts are ok…
…who wears shorts to work?…
…one step short of uniforms…
…one step forward for unitards..

Is Pluto following etiquette, having five moons (that we can see)? Does that seem presumptuous to anyone else?

Lady Bird drew a blank on her friends’ names and faces, but never their hairdoos. They were known as Lyndon’s Lacquer Ladies.
