YOU

The other day I took my high school sweetheart Davey Kaye's, 80 year old mother, Sue Kaye, to the farmer's market where John was playing for the crowd.  When I was younger, Suey, a very cool lady, was very influential to me in fashion & design.  In the 70's she was way ahead of the fashion curve, she had a fake "fanny" to put in her britches to fill them out (apparently, Jewish ladies don't have much of a butt!  Who knew!?)
What a very cool evening I had sitting out in the parking lot of the Northridge Mall listening to John, Tara & Jime & eating "Fairway" food with one of my favorite people, Suey.  We couldn't believe it, when we realized that 34 years ago we spent the day together at the Ohio State Fair.  Time flies by so quickly!
As we were leaving, I noticed that while Suey was walking with an aid of a walker, being the consummate fashionista that she is, was also wearing pumps!    Never stop being you!

So when I'm old...er... in my 80's what will I be doing, wearing my Chuck Taylors with my walker?  Maybe a fuchsia stripe with my grey hair?  I do know I will be wearing my jeans!  (and no, Nancy, I'm not giving up my LEVIS to you!)

HEY!   Here's the first post of my blog, Julie's World.  Can't wait to share with you, my escapades & the great cast of characters in my life!
Yesterday, speaking to a friend in the clothing biz, she mentioned Leisure Suits.  My mind went immediately to OMG, that's for old folks... over 50!   Pause...WAIT...That's me, I'm over 50!  I realized then that I don't feel it, at least not in attitude.  50 is not old!
Today, sitting out by our pool w/ Jake, our dog, listening to our 200 CD player on random, a great song came on that spoke of youth & "In the Zone" & summer & had such a great groove.  I met the talented singer, songwriter, Alina Smith, at one of John's gigs last month in Hollywood.  Boy, was she great!  The song is titled "Top Down" & it's my new summer song!
