@amiable - Since you're a mom, I could believe #1. I know you sew, so 3 could be true, BUT I'm going to still say that #3 is your lie.

@AnnieMouse - Where are your 3 statements? No fair reading and NOT playing along.

AJ got it right for me. Mine were:

1. I wear sweaters/cardis all year, even in July & August
2. I often wear padded push-up bras to give myself some semblance of a chest
3. I don't own a pair of sweatpants

The lie is #2. I have HUGE boobs. Like 34H big. I saw someone else said that they don't own a single pair of sweatpants. I don't either. I keep thinking I should buy a pair to wear around that house, but I'm afraid it's a slippery slope!

You are an interesting bunch!

Here's mine:
1. My style in high scool once caused one of the boys in my class wanting to jump out of the window when he saw me.
2. I sewed a shirt to my boyfriend from some old stashed fabric (now DH) the first Christmas we dated because I didn't have any money.
3. I have a cowboy boots collection.

@AJ: LOL!

I don't think I'm interesting enough for this game, but I'll try!

1) I didn't start dying my hair "exotic" colours until I was in my late 30s
2) I used to travel the world, promoting an *ahem* "adult" company
3) At one point, I had five cats, three dogs, two snakes, and two rats as pets.

Ingunn, I'm guessing that you DON'T have a cowboy boots collection. Am I right?

AnnieMouse, I'm guessing you didn't promote an "adult" company.

Here are mine:

1) For my 40th birthday, my DH gave me gift certificates and hired a limo to take me and two friends shopping at an upscale mall two hours away from our town.

2) My gorgeous sleepwear collection is the pride and joy of my wardrobe.

3) When we moved the last time (pre-internet days), I contacted all of my mail-order catalogs and gave them my forwarding address.

Nancy, that was too easy! You're right, I don't own any cowboy boots. I'm guessing that #2 is your lie!

Ingunn, you're right! For some reason I never buy fresh sleepwear. Some of my nightgowns are actually threadbare.

Nancy, that was a really fun treat your husband gave you for your 40th. Wow! You must have felt like celebs

1. I once owned a Harley Davidson leather cap.
2. My wardrobe was all black in college with an exception of some deep purple thrown in.
3. I wear a size 8 shoe.

@Ingunn - Nope, that's actually 100% true - one of the largest in the world, in fact, for about 4 years, doing business development and client management.

AJ you have me pegged I sewed my SIL's wedding dress, but not my own.

But I wasn't a mom when I dyed my hair green and wore a sparkly red suit on Christmas. I was in college. My parents were a little shocked, I think. But it was all in good fun. I went dancing in a bar with my friends after Christmas dinner, not thinking about the clientele of a bar on Christmas, and how they might not be amused to have someone obviously in the Christmas spirit joining them....

These are so great!

Annie, I am trying to imagine what "client management" entails in an "adult" company. You must have a degree in advanced diplomacy.

Nancy, you and I should start a threadbare nighties club. Maybe your DH would hire a limo so you could take (even far-flung) girlfriends for a PJ shopping trip? (She said, hopefully...)

Here are mine:

1. I once appeared in a fashion show with my dog, a miniature poodle who had been dyed pink for the occasion.

2. I have often been told that I look like David Bowie.

3. My extensive collection of workout wear is the envy of my Crossfit classmates.

Lots of fun!

Citygirl - I can't believe size 8 shoe so I'm going with that one as your lie.
Suz - Hmmm, this is hard, I think 3 is your lie.

I wore a blue streak in my hair.
I often got sent home from school for too much skin...short skirt, low neckline, mid-drift.
I made a bikini out of washcloths.

Tracina, I think your lie is #3, and if not I want to see photos.

AnnieMouse - I'm going to say #1 is your lie because I know you are an animal lover.

Here's mine:
#1 - I once sewed DH and I matching sweatshirts to wear to Disneyland. They had Mickey Mouse all over and buttons that said "I Love You".
#2 - I organize my closet in rainbow order, Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Purple.
#3 - In the '80s I had "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on my adult footy pajamas.

Fun thread, AJ!

Oh these have been so fun to read!
Suz - I would bet money that #3 is your lie. For some reason I just don't picture you as a "cross-fit maniac" (aren't they all?) type! Tracina, I'm going to guess #3 - but, I'm not for sure!
Here's mine:
1) I wear make-up everyday.
2) I once modeled for Kate Spade.
3) I love pink.

Ha, fooled you. #2 is the lie, I did wear the clothes but never got sent home even though other girls did (the advantage of being small with no cleavage).
I did make a bikini from washcloths and wore it once. I think it was a DIY in Glamour. Fortunately there are no photos.

Marley, I just looked at your last WIW and somehow I have been missing your FAB style on this forum!
I am guessing (3 is the lie, because you look like a model, and models are used to wearing make-up?
Here's mine:
1) I once entered a 'Bond-Girl' modelling competition.
2) I own 10 skirts.
3) I sang a solo at a Christmas Carol Concert for my local community, with an audience of 5 thousand.

Just popping in to say that I had assumed AnnieMouse was in her late 20s. So the late 30's statement has to be a lie!

Marley, you hate pink, right? Except if it is on Annie mouse's hair.

And you caught me out....sort of. I actually DO go to Crossfit twice a week. I might be the first non-maniacal crossfitter in the history of the so-called sport. But my workout wear is in about as good shape as my pathetic nightwear. Not quite threadbare, but getting close.

JulieJohn, this is hard, because I can picture you doing any of those. I am guessing #1 is your lie because I don't think you sew?

Marley, I've never seen you in pink so I agree with Suz that #3 is your lie.

JJ, I agree with Suz that you probably didn't sew those sweatshirts.

Tracina, that is hilarious about the washcloth bikini!

Lyn, do you really own 10 skirts?

Suz, I'll have my husband engage that limo driver so we can shop for some decent (or indecent) sleepwear...and some workout duds for you. (Postscript to the shopping trip: the limo driver actually expressed disappointment that my friends and I bought so little that day! He'd expected the trunk to be bulging with bags and felt we must not have had enough fun!)

Lyn, I think 2 is your lie because I think you own more than 10 skirts.

1. I once borrowed a '20s beaver coat from the college drama closet when I didn't have a warm coat and wore it all winter.
2. I wore my grandmother's wedding dress
3. I once used paper dresses as travel wear to Europe.

Ha Ha!
#2 is a lie 'cause I only have 1 skirt!
Joy- I have heard of paper undies but not paper dresses- so I guess that #3 is your lie?

No, no, no girls! I love pink! I mean I just absolutely melt whenever I see a pink clothing item. I know that that goes against my Team Tough status - but, I can't help it - pink just almost brings me to tears because I think it is so lovely! So . . . my lie is #2 - I mean seriously? Do I look like a Kate Spade model???? I was chuckling when I typed it as one of my "truths" because I thought that everybody would get the joke - that is, that I am sooooo not the Kate Spade type - even though I like her design style!

Joy, can I guess #1 is the lie?

Here are mine:
1. I used to be/dress preppy
2. I used to be/dress punk
3. I used to be/dress ladylike/girlie

I'll play, but I know many of you don't know me, so it's just for fun:

  • In highschool, boys used to ask me why I was wearing curtains
  • In my last job, I was known for wearing creative outfits to work
  • A friend of mine recently tried to do a "Trinny and Susannah" on me and suggested I get myself some nice clothes
Suz, I was sure the Crossfit one was the lie because the most serious people at the gym are always the ones who turn up in rags!

Cocolion I think dressing ladylike is your lie.

Lyn D. I really want the Bond Girl thing to be true and I believe the singing one so I'm going to say 10 skirts is your lie!

Ingunn I'm going to guess 3 is the lie because the first 2 sound like my life!

Deborah I don't know if you have Converse but 1 and 3 sound like you.

Coco, I'm going to say 3 is your lie - there's a punk edge to your style, but also deeply classic.

Fruitful, I think 3 is yours, too, because that would be a not-so-nice friend!

Mine is actually 3, for that matter - while I have had all of those citters as companions, I didn't have them all at the same time (when I had 5 cats, I only had 2 dogs, and the rats were when I was only 3 cats and 1 dog. So... I was bring tricksy). @Suz: well, I worked with a number of the bigger name companies (yes, including those that you immediately think of), helping manage their accounts with the company I worked for. There are a LOT of egos! *laughing*

And Mochi, aw, thank you! But, nope! I first dyed my hair blue when I was 35.

Wow, Marley --- I have learned something! And the thing is, pink would look extraordinary on you!

Joy...the first dresses at Miss Selfridge were paper. So I am guessing that's not a lie. Maybe #1?

Denise...I'm guessing #3. With hesitation.

Fruitful, I am guessing #3.

Ah, Lynn, I must have been thinking of your dresses. Good one.
#2 is my lie. I really did spend an entire summer Youth Hostelling around Europe in paper dresses in 1969. Jeans were still not worn much, especially by women.
And I was given the beaver coat to wear with the blessing of the drama department. I was not prepared for long walks across campus in winter weather and in a small college town without a car.
Fruitful, I'm also guessing 3 is your lie.

#1 is not my lie, it is true I sewed us those Mickey Mouse sweatshirts and we wore them. Just one of DH's loving sacrifices. I just wish I had a photo to share with you all.

Coco - I think #3 is your lie, but I know you could pull off any look, so like Suz, I am reticent.

Fruity - I think #3 cause the other two sound more like real life. Boys say the darnedest things. Plus I don't know who Trinny and Susannah are.

Anybody else still need to be discovered?

I'm guessing that Denise's lie is #1.
