OK this blog/ thread posts or whatever you call it may not be a legend like King Arthur pulling a sword out of a stone but it is to me since it is about me me me me
This ongoing cyber journal began by accident on 5 December 2005 in an underused fashion section at a UK forum in a post about finally getting my own sense of style .Up to then I had been the of mismatch and not so good taste , for my senior prom ( the big at the end of high school ) I wore a red halter top, black floor length skirt ( short women like me should stay away from them ! ) , and flip flops . My clothes were a running joke with friends, most of the time I laffed along but the teasing , negative comments could hurt .However on that glorious day stopping off at a rummage sale at a synagogue like a miracle suddenly found a style of clothes that I looked good in All very traditional , lots of cashmere, wool, plaids . I wud build on that style from then on . We knew the clothes had been worn by a woman named Marilyn King because of labels in some of the items saying how they had been custom made for Marilyn King and also the 70 something lady selling them who was Marilyn's mom. Naturally calling the post out this great breakthrough THANK YOU MARILYN KING
The clothes were a real relief since I was now no longer so nervous ,sensitive about clothes The progress there combined with some other positive developments in my life to create a new much ( and much needed ) improved me They included a stable relationship that wud last close to 12 years with a pretty impressive woman , having as killed trade that I could always sell as a bartender, some wonderful new friends , a therapist who led me to find my inner demon and do something about it , and getting aware of the rest of the world by joining a UK forum
The single post turned into a blog by accident too. I had plenty of positive reaction to occasional posts I did talking about a nite working in the bar called IT'S 11:45 PM , DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR BARTENDER IS ? So started adding to the original THANK YOU MARILYN .... telling about daily goings on , my ideas about things , and some of the crazy things that went on around me Got me plenty of fan mail including from staff at the site where I was posting , other members , and hope it was true some war weary British soldiers in Afghanistan , and best of all other women who were actually inspired by me ! I found writing was good for me , along with being fun to self obsess was also a way to better understand what was going on in my life, pirge bad memories, control anger , psych myself for the daily battle that life is
The title was changed to THANK YOU MARILYN KING AND ZHANG PIAO in 2010 after I worked in China for the first time . Like Marilyn King never met Zhang Piao but he was a big help in my life.He is a tailor in Chongqing China , worked with his cousin in Shenzen who told all of the American crew how Piao was a great tailor who wud make custom clothes at a fraction of the cost of clothes in the USA . We gave it a try , had a unique way of tailoring .You'd have to lie in undies on a large sheet of paper while his cousin or if you insisted his cousin't wife or daughter traced your body . Can't complain since the price was cheap & the clothes that later arrived usually fit well .I still laff at the image of several of us lining up in just bra's & undies and me sometimes topless as someone traced us .Wonder what ever happened to those silouettes ?
As the years went on the original thread was pirated at other sites and I wrote it and at the request oft he operators I posted at other places. The most amusing of which were at a well known cunting forum , that was like reading feminist poetry at a motorcycle gang bar but it was fun One member wrote he was trying to use mental telepathy to give me AIDS , I couldn't stop laffing .We became friends. Will say I had them salivating with posts about nylons and a sexual experience with with another in depth account with another woman girl in the locker room at work
So now am here for the time being . Hope you all enjoy reading . Tomorrow or the next day will do a real live post , maybe about the end of the good life I had back in Louisville and the new good life I have now There wud be plenty of since fucking really saved my sanity during those hard days .Some of the sexual encounters were very funny .Or about life today as an expat her in this insane but exciting city , my present gf , and as with everyone out there coping with the corona .
In keeping with tradition today I wore a faded yellow v neck mini dress, white colored boy's jockey shorts .I have not worn shoes since going into work last Friday .
