Weather - Fine. Practiced hard. Nothing doing all day. Dressed in heliotrope dress for dinner. Tin and I hurried to go to chorus class at 8. Got there to find that the director had been called home on account of illness. Had to beat it right back again. Practice 3 hours 10 min.
IN RITA'S DAY: Like most young women, Rita and her friends seemed to enjoy fashion. They dressed for dinner most days. In yesterday's entry (Jan. 9), Rita and her friend Fran were laughing about "hobbles." I didn't know what that meant but discovered that in 1911, the hobble skirt was being shown by fashion designers. This skirt was very narrow at the hem and women had to sort of "hobble" as they walked! It really didn't catch on with the average woman.
Judy's Entry: Monday January 10, 2011 - New York
My friend, Sherry, brought over some insulated pants, gloves, etc. for me to try and then we practiced walking in snow shoes across the back yard. We are planning to go to a park to snowshoe on Thursday since a big snow is forecast for tomorrow night into Wednesday. My son brought a pizza over for supper. Grocery stores were packed today because everyone heard it is going to snow.
TODAY: One of the hottest fashion trends this winter are the knee high and over the knee boots. These will often make the modern woman "hobble" because of the high heels on most of these boots. I'll be content to hobble on the snow shoes I tried today.
