Fabric 2006 Projects?
We wore "artfully arranged sheets" to "Greek Revival" parties in the
mid-80's. The word "toga" was banned by the campus dept. of residence. Lots of fun no matter what you call it. Joan E. wrote: True. And mu mus did enjoy a brief bout of popularity in the U.S. (not sure about other places) waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when but, AFAIK, togas never did (except for the few toga parties held back in the 70s). -- Brenda Bilge Queen of Puzzle Pirates |

Since I still haven't seen a response to this, I'll chime in with The
Who. "Big Bang Theory" by Styx has a remake of this song. Joan E. wrote: Oh, my, yes!!!! I *love* being able to see to eternity. Is it Pink Floyd who sings, "I can see for miles and miles" ? Or The Who? -- Brenda Styx lovin' fiend |

I might do this for a cheap computer keyboard. For a more expensive
one, I'd immediately suck out as much liquid as possible with a vacuum (esp. wet/dry variety) and then use the hair dryer. I've had to do this to a $1000 synthesizer (Mom spilled sweet tea into it) and it worked just fine. If you do opt to rinse the keyboard, please remember to unplug it from the machine first! ages ago lucretia borgia wrote: Oh dear - not much around the computer survives that stuff. Though I have heard it said, if the worst happens, there is nothing lost by quickly holding it under fresh water to wash off the soda, then drying with a hair dryer. I have never had occasion to try it, but they said the drying of the soda was worse than the quick clear rinse and instant dry. -- Brenda Bilge Queen of Puzzle Pirates |

"Jangchub" wrote The Denim's against the Chambrays? But, but..... what would we wear?? As Mirjam pointed out, olive-coloured clothes are called uniforms, but if they are olive they can't be denim, unless they're woven with a white thread, ..... I'm confused. Let's just paint ourselves blue (maybe denim blue) and get some bagpipers. Oh WOADn't that be lovely! I'm a dyed-in-the-wool flannel. -- Brenda Bilge Queen of Puzzle Pirates |

"lucretia borgia" wrote in message ... On 28 Dec 2005 06:19:35 -. Come to think of it, wouldn't togas and Mu Mu's represent Roman and Hawaiin jeans in the sense that they were the garments worn by all the hoi polloi ? Coming late to the party, but I believe that muumuus were imposed on the Hawaiians by the English missionaries (to cover bare breasts). They are fairly recent, a sarong (sans top) being more traditional "jeans" to that population. Ann -- http://sheepshots.blogspot.com |

They are fairly recent, a sarong (sans top) being more traditional "jeans" to that population. Ann This is true but the mu'u-mu'u has come to be a *very* important part of Hawaiian dress for many generations. On Causal Fridays, loads of the local women wear them to work -- and not just those in the "tourist" areas. Also, when young women get married, they often wear an absolutely lovely version of this dress. It's white (of course), princess seamed and flows out to a very full, long gown with a self-train. The gown often has "leg-o-mutton" sleeves with narrow ruffles at the wrists and ruffles also adorn the hem as well as the high collar. A similar style dress is worn for certain hula dances, depending on the story being told in the dance. Like so many other things, some clothing is "historical" as with the grass skirt -- that isn't really grass but made of large leaves -- ti leaves IIRC. In today's Island culture & society, mu'u-mu'us are, by most, now considered a "traditional" form of dress. CiaoMeow ^;;^ |
