I learned a lot about Fort Lauderdale today. All incidental stuff but things that will make me ‘belong.’
Number 1. Women, young or mature, do not wear pantyhose with dresses. Regardless of condition or appearance of legs, they are bare. Legs can be viened, knobby, fat, skinny or just plain unattractive, but they are always bare.
Number 2. Mature women are quite comfortable wearing dresses very short, mini-style, in hot weather. The dresses are well-made, expensive, but quite short.
Numbe 3. Mature age women in Fort Lauderdale can comfortably forego make up or apply heavily. Both are acceptable.
Number 4. Women in Fort Lauderdale hug or air kiss each other after first introduction. A longer relationship is not needed.
Number 5. Fort Lauderdale mature women dress with a lot of style. They have panache. They don’t particularly wear jewellry but are well put together.
Number 6. Mature women in Fort Lauderdale have excellent poise, posture, and confidence. They are proud of themselves.
It was an instructive lunch – the speakers were good, the videos were excellent but most of all I learned a lot by observing the women in the audience. Most men wore suits and looked good. But suits are suits with only ties to indicate individual traits.
I will try to lift my game for the next luncheon.
