CELEBRATE THE DIFFERENCE

Hi Friends:

Next month celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act signed by President John F. Kennedy in 1963.   This landmark law promised pay equality for women.   Fifty  years later, we're still making 77 cents to a man's dollar.    Thank you U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand  (D-NY) and her fellow cosponsors who are pushing the Paycheck Fairness Act, a bill that will strengthen the Equal Pay Act and make it harder to pay women less for the same job a man holds. The Paycheck Fairness Act has been reintroduced over and over again but if passed, this year, will close major loopholes in the Equal Pay Act of 1963.  Change is inevitable because we do not give up. Write your representatives to support the bill.

Things are different today.  You can be who you want to be and let your cloths reflect that.  Today, you can be feminine without  girdles or garters   I'll never forget visiting the lingerie store with my mother.  Mr Klein, the owner, whose mom worked the cash register,  would bring out boxes and boxes of satin elastic girdles and long lined bras.  Mom choose the zippered high waist girdle for hip and tummy control. These were seriously strong garments and looked like they would last a life time.  There was boning over the tummy which was encased in satin because she had to have the waist needed for fashion in the 1950's.  Mom would laugh at the scene in Gone With The Wind as Scarlett held on to her bed post while Mammy tightened her corset.  She laughed because she was the modern woman with a long line bra and zipper girdle with bones for her figure hugging dress.  Can we say compression tank???  Today with so much going on in our lives, we want to feel comfortable and look good.  We say easy!!!

All good things...
