Question - old fashioned hairdos and clothes ...................... but Kleenex tissue in the decorative box? :dunno:
One would think a handkerchief more apropo.

It's actually kind of hard to find real hankies in this disposable world. Merman has a stack of them but I've only ever seen one other man use a cloth hankie and that was poolside WaterColor at the bar! And he was much older than Merman.

(I love a good tangent. :D)

They're easy to find - I think I saw some when I was shopping for Papa Scooterbug at one of the factory stores (Brooks Brother's?).

And a lovely (younger) gentleman gave me one when I started bawling over someone's dog because it was the twin of a recently departed Scooterhound at a 30-A event. :blush:

Here's the one I'm using. Just me and the girls. Second from the left and obviously I'll need to crop it.

Who are these women? A bunch of Polygamist wives?
 
Aquanet and Jesus. Hair pins are the devils harlot helpers. ;-)
Hall of fame!

Hubby gets nauseated by wet paper products (so does daughter). He always uses cotton hankies.

BR gets nauseated by having to wash cotton hankies with snot on them.

Yes, Brooks Brothers at Lenox is where hubby buys his.

I do too, and I love hankies. When I was little it was my job to iron Daddy's.

The day Daddy died I literally crashed on the couch after we got home. The kids wanted to carry something at the visitation and funeral that reminded us of him. They RAN through the mall in search of red hankies for the 3 of us. (Daddy's nickname was Red, because of his hair.) The came home with the prettiest red hankies I'd ever seen.

I wonder if the different shades of blue have something to do with rank in this picture. The dresses are all almost identical.

Hankies are gross. The idea of blowing your nose into a piece of cloth that you then store in your pocket is disgusting. Give me a Kleenex any day.
