I have always thought of the US as a land of contrast, the very rich next to the starving, highly educated individuals and illiterate ones, desert canyons next to green scenery/mountains, etc. Contrast seems to be predominant in my life here too.. At work I hang out with the rich and famous, people with very surreal lifestyles and needs and with so much cosmetic surgery I find it hard to tell them apart (they all end up looking the same.. you know.. same nose, lips, cheek bones, boobs, and look of surprise on their faces caused by God knows how many face lifts) but then on my spare time I am surrounded by very laid back people.. my girlfriends are painters, blacksmiths, make jewelry, etc.. They can enter wood splitting competitions and win them.. Some have dread locks and aren't aware of the fact that some of us shave our arm pits, legs, etc. So I get to dress up for work as I have always considered it part of my job but then I can go home and grow hair on my legs and nobody would think anything of it.. This includes my husband who enjoys roaming around the house in his birth suit and puts a hat on when he gets cold (still no clothes).. Who would have guessed that I would find myself where I am..

It's all very interesting to say the least..

Errr ............ Where do you live Anabella ?

I think a picture of hubs (+/- hat) would be very interesting!

We can add him to Ray's line-up

He is a proper weirdo .. according to his theory you loose all your heat through your head so as long as your head is warm you are ok.. it's hysterical I tell ya..

In general I agree with your assessment but I"m intrigued by one of your comments (no, not the hat) ...


...just how fast does your leg hair grow? I have pictures of you getting home at night and suddenly growing a "fur coat" on your legs which you have to shave off every morning before leaving for work again!

I don't know but it sounds like LA or SF to me

Aspen Colorado area.

LOL @ your hubby. Good on him if he wants to walk around naked

I hope that isn't SF! When we lived there, it wasn't anything like the So Cal madness.

Please tell me SF isn't the land of siliconed people and no souls...

Irn-bru

sorry didn't want to upset you..it wasn't that part of the description that made me think of SF.
I did love visiting it beautiful place.

But apparently poster is in Aspen which explains it I think.

goldcrown

Ah, no worries. Though not sure about 'desert canyons' in SF?

Yes, Aspen does explain it. I saw Neil Diamond walking around Aspen with his wife, many years ago. He didn't want to talk, though.

I obviously didn't read the post carefully enough, I speed read a lot of posts

Same with my husband Anabella, at the weekend he's always naked a lot. For some reason he likes to do the dishes and cook in the nude, but will put his pants on to sit at the computer.

Redlippie

Oy. Frogs dear, the FROGS!
