WHO RULES ???

I was thinking of you recently. *One of the groups that marched in the
Orlando Citrus Bowl Parade was The Villages Twirlers. *The Villages is
a large retirement community in Florida. *These babes learned baton
tossing when they were in high school in the 1940s or so.

Some were as chunky as the twirlers you've posted images of, but they
wear looser costumes to allow for the bulge of Depends. *These gals
have grit. *It isn't easy to march a whole parade route with varicose
veins and stainless steel knees and hips.

Here is some irony for ya. The lady who was my next door neighbor
when I was a kid is now 72 and retired. She and her husband recently
rented a home at The Villages for a month. She was also an ex-
majorette and a twirler, but to my knowledge wasn't in the group you
mentioned. Perhaps she was considering it.
I say "was" because she was tragically killed in a car crash on New
Years Day. Perhaps you saw the story.

It sounds as though she wasn't wearing a seat belt. :-(

Damn. The same thing occurred to me.

Such a prude, just think of how she could've transformed the UK economy
by promoting Ann Summers products.

That would be "Victoria's Secret" over here, but - obviously - your
Victoria is not associated with crotchless panties.

If she was, I guess the press would've got hold of it - so to speak.
All we seem to have here it a crotchless press. I can't even claim
"That's ironed that out."
