boxermom...I think I you! My mum was 87, drank her last of MANY martinis the night before she died...dressed to kill all the time, dinner-partied and played tennis (doubles) until 2 mos. before she died. The only cooler woman is my mother-in-law who is unfreakinbelievable at 78.
Now, we have to get everyone over to the Balenciaga forum...I need some support!! (in more ways than one!...)
Love the story about your mum! And I have to say, your avatar is one of the best dog pics I've seen on here LOL!
