I noticed her in the photos yesterday, very cool.
Is your wife aware of this ??
Good question Pop !
She is great and so is your room ! I would love to see her with 50's hair do and cat eye glasses on, how about a Marilyn Monroe blond wig :-) :-) What a cool place to hang out !
Thanks for sharing
Schhhhh ;)
That sounds like a good idea Manikin. lol
You can see it all now right Walksoft ! She would be sizzling hot ! A guy may never leave the room :-)
Can get wigs anyplace used . Heck maybe I will get one too LOL
I think it should be a blonde wig, she would have more fun then:) I would just sit their and grin.
yep walksoft she would for sure have more fun and would be stunning blond . Ok Loft we voted :-) Salvation army has old wigs for a couple of dollars . I would style it but I am a bit far to do that . I remember the skating girls and thet old dress it awesome . In love with it .
Ok guys,
How would this work?

Back to the game, GO DUCKS!
That's cool reminds me my hairspray days :-) and suits the decor of room !
Perfect, buy it now, don't worry about the glasses.
I'm kinda partial to brunettes...Do you live in Stepford ?
Waitress,Cheerleader...Does she do French Maid?( What...I'm just curious!jeez )
Very cool getaway BTW !!
Oh Yeah Almost Forgot...Gooooo Rangers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She could be a brunette with that hair style but blonde just jazz'z her up :-) After all it is a fantasy world to escape to to relax and step back in time . I just love the room but gothic hair was not in vogue in that era :-) Love Love the wig you sent link on !
LOL Hedge the Stepford wives didn't wear those outfits they were to prim . The room should radiate the 50's ! The blond with the bow is so fifties and early 60's .
very cool loft
Thanks all for the responses.
The lady in question is about to be having more fun, my wife is giving serious thought to committing me, and I'm sitting here smiling :).
If your wife has you committed make sure you have pictures with you, then all will be explained. You will then have more friends that can come over, & they will sit there smiling & drooling.
Hey Walksoftly,
I like the idea of smiling friends visiting, but at my age there is entirely too much drooling going on here as it is. There used to be spittoons, is there such a thing as a drooling bucket. ;)
LOL you two guys are funny :-) If you wife commits you we will send cards just make her a Hot Blonde mannequin oh not your wife I mean the roller skater . Can't wait to see her in new hair do .
You don't need a drooling bucket, just a bib:)
hi everyone and does she deflate
If you are committed I know someone who could "discard" this item for your wife.
Always here to help my friend...always here to help.
(Obviously I hope this doesn't happen :) )
LOL Hedge
ha can she sit, i could take her through the h o v lane
