This probably would have gone over less well in the actual 50s

[mayhap]

Today was 50s day at my little brother's school. He elected to go to school wearing a poodle skirt:



My mom and I thought this was fabulous. My dad just shook his head and wondered where he'd gone wrong.

I'm glad to see a picture of that! It looks better than I'd imagined, especially with the belt.

[mayhap]

It really ties the whole outfit together. Or, you know. Keeps the skirt from falling off.

The belt amost, but not quite, manages to give the entire outfit the air of a poodle kilt.

*headtilts, grinning* I approve.

[mayhap]

Mmm, kilts! I miss seeing guys wandering around in kilts.

That is so adorable!

[mayhap]

Isn't it? I ♥ my little brother.

ORange is *so* his color, too!

[mayhap]

Totally!

Heh... that just made my day.

Dare I ask where he obtained this item?

[mayhap]

It was mine, back when I did a lot of community theater. Bye Bye Birdie, in that particular instance.

Huh, too bad he probably can't get into any of my lovely 20s and 30s dresses ...

[maldiligenta.livejournal.com]

If he ever does, I hope we'll see pictures of that too!

Niiiice. The punk belt makes for a good accessory

[mayhap]

Isn't it perfect?

I have that belt in white. And I think your brother is hot. End comment.

[mayhap]

My brother got all the hot in the family. It is so not fair.

It's alright. My cousins got all the Hot in my family. It skipped my nuclear entirely.
