Hey, this doll and the comment reminded me of a time when I was an attache at the state legislature. I was a little overweight at the time, in my 50's, wearing a dressy long skirt and blouse. Our 27-year-old committee intern was in a 3-piece suit. The two of us were in the Committee Manager's office singing and dancing to the Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy song, bumping our butts together and laughing. A lobbyist, about my age, walking by in her power suit, saw us through the open door, and joined in. We must have looked like loons to anybody walking by. I think that was the day Sen. Joe Biden was there on the campaign trail for him and Barack Obama. It's a good thing he didn't walk by just then. That really would have been embarrassing! |
