Back in the dark ages - circa 1963-65 - the boys at my junior high school were very much into that shade of green. They were all wearing Bass Weejuns, but matched their socks to their OCBD shirts. {sounds horrid now} I remember one cute as pie boy in particular who wore that outfit! He called that color "bottle green". Reminds me of British Racing Green MGB sports cars. Maybe that's why they loved that color. That car was tres popular in my hometown in those days. Such neat sports cars with paint colors just as fabulous. Gosh I'm digressing tonight. Haven't even been drinking, but I am terribly giddy - for I have news: Preppy Grandbaby on the way. :-) XoxoSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173303399522862906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-44587054457956624292010-11-08T23:47:36.091-05:002010-11-08T23:47:36.091-05:00No way.

Might take you 45 minutes to get here from Santa Monica, but this town is worth a drive, IMHO.<br /><br />Fashion wise, you will see lots of jeans, lots of shorts (but no jean shorts), some Hawaiian shirts if we are dressing up, ratty surf t-shirts if we are not dressing up, and flip-flops. If you see any Yuketen products outside their office, I'd be surprised. All the suits will be at work. <br /><br />So prepare yourself mentally for our South Bay Style. You may need a stiff drink. If so, avoid Pier Avenue unless you want to relive your frat years with actual Actives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-46252490109052987472010-11-08T22:52:53.117-05:002010-11-08T22:52:53.117-05:00That's one heck of a boondoggle.
