Yikes! Am I the only one that starts a bit to see their own post? Ok weirdness aside, the pants are back in the closet and will be reconsidered. They are by the Israeli designer Maya Negri (second hand) by the way. Thank you all for providing the objective eyes I clearly lack when I see myself.
Beth Ann it is such a delight having you comment on operas. That scene was performed beautifully - the singers were all amazing.
Thank you again for all your kind and thoughtful comments! You are all fab!
