A recent article suggested that a Brazilian or Hollywood is the norm. Is this true for older ladies? Has this been discussed before?

I wish, Galen....but I think you're mistaken.

Lona Fri 13-Dec-13 21:45:02

I agree Ana

I smelt roses too. Coincidence?

Marelli Fri 13-Dec-13 21:52:25

Quite a 'number' of roses....?

Galen Fri 13-Dec-13 22:12:59

A ring of roses?

It's like I can hear a Christmas song that starts
"Dashing through the snow.
In a one-horse open sleigh........."tchconfused

The only person I have known to wear "panties" is my mother in law. Anything less like panties than the vast white cotton garments that adorn her nether regions would be hard to imagine. I presume there must have been a time when panties were daring and modern. Probably shortly after the days of the pink directoire knickers so beloved of my grandmother! Never mind a lady garden - you could have hidden Birnam Wood and the three w2itches inside those things tchgrin

Did she have the pink lace up and clasp in front corsets my gran had as well?

My sister's friend once, when going for a check with the Dr., sprayed her 'garden' with feminine deodorant. She had mistaken her daughter's glitter hair spray. Dr's comment "Thank you for making the effort!" grin

Another went for a smear and the nurse picked up a pair of tweezers and plucked a 1st class stamp from her 'bits' Goodness knows how it got there. The mind boggles.

Flower You have posted these two stories on Gransnet before. Although my memory resembles a colander more than a sieve, the images they conjure up have remained with me and are, no doubt embedded forever grin. It's the way you tell 'em.

Flowerofthewest Sat 14-Dec-13 15:04:46

Oops, thought I may have, matching colanders maybe grin at least I am consistent. smile

I used to be fascinated by the corsets when I was little Galen All those laces! Once laced up you must have been trapped in them for days. And why were they that weird pink?

Ana Sat 14-Dec-13 21:12:18

My granny had matching directoire knickers in that lovely salmon pink shade as well!

Elegran Sat 14-Dec-13 22:10:35

Corset pink! So distinctive. I suppose it was meant to be flesh coloured.

My Nanny used to hold her stockings up with threepenny bits. She would lift her skirt and give us a threepenny bit to get some sweets.
