The Girls Are Back In Town
Wendy: Hello! Did you miss us?
Sandy: We really know how to keep our new years resolutions!
We almost became one of those dead blogs that stop posting just as you are starting to follow it.
Wendy: Yeah and then you keep checking back hoping they are just having a longer pause until you give up hope.
Sandy: I almost gave up hope. After we got the internet connection fixed in about a week I had already filled the time with other things and then suddenly no longer had time to post. It was a mistake to promise to post often that was too much work. So from now on we will post whenever but that's better than not posting at all.
Also I got sick of the dark winter and the bad picture quality of the pictures taken in the dark.
Wendy: The summer light and the summer clothes really inspire to post.
Sandy: Actually, it was news of another blog that finally made me decide to restart the blog. It's been in the news that a blog and a book that claims to tell a true story about a teenaged girl that was bullied at school and committed suicide. Apparently the girl or her parents do not exist.
Wendy: Some say it doesn't matter whether it is true or fiction.
Sandy: And if it doesn't matter whether the story is true then why to say it is? Why not write the same stories without the lies?
There is a difference between an honest fiction with an important story and a story that is claimed to be true but is in fact a lie. And to think that people have bought the book thinking it's a true story they are paying for, not a badly written novel. If the writer had not received money and if she wasn't messing with such an important subject.
Wendy: It was horrible to read the article that revealed this hoax where they referred to studies that show that these idealizing reports of suicides increases the amount of new suicides.
Sandy: She should have written a style blog instead.
Wendy: It's unbelievable how the tv and newspaper reporters ate the story up without checking any facts.
Sandy: They forgot to check Wikipedia.

Houston we have a problem
We promised to post more often but we are having some technical difficulties (are there any other kind?).

I Am The New Scottish Gentry
Sandy: speaking of ties, here's - yet another - new one.
 |
| Sandy: You can tell which one of us it is by now, can't you? |
Sandy: I've resisted the temptation to use song lyrics in my headlines like some do (which, if I'm honest, I find somehow annoying) but now I am the new Scottish gentry.
If you know what song that is from comment and I will applaude you! I wish I had some kind of a prize to give but I don't.
Wendy: If you did they would just google it...
Sandy: And this post would suddenly have 400 readers when we usually have ten.

| Sandy Boop! |
Wendy: I liked the other neck-thingy better. (What is it?)
Sandy: You would, it's more feminine. (A scarf with a belt buckle.)
Wendy: You haven't worn ties so often lately.
Sandy: Actually they are making a comeback in my wardrobe. I was obsessed with ties a couple years ago but then I guess I grew a bit sick of them, really. But now I'm finding that I'm drawn to them again.
Wendy: She has more ties than any guy I know.
Sandy: Around two dozen. But I've probably spent less money on them each between 50 cents and 2 euros (second hand). And as it happens, I have a picture of few of my favorites.
Wendy: Such luck!

Hello Ethel
Sandy: Twin outfits! I watched a documentay on the Kennedy family and saw something familiar. Ethel Kennedy is wearing something resembling my outfit here.
I was also gifted with a Hello Kitty doll wearing something similar.
