Title: anyone want a purple boa?
Post by: petey on March 05, 2008, 05:41:39 PM
I wanted to get a purple boa because I saw pictures of Goofynina (Susie) wearing one in Vegas at the IHD meet-up.  I thought if I had one, I could remember Goofynina's beauty, attitude ( :rofl;), love, laughter, and inspiration when I wore it.  I found a really good deal on purple boas on the internet, but you had to get them by the dozen.  I have a few left (about 6, I think), and I'd be willing to share.  They are 42 inches long and come about mid-tummy when you wear them.  They are purple, fluffy, and right cute.

If you want one, PM me your mailing address, and I'll send you one (DON'T post your address here -- PM me, please).  THERE IS A CHARGE -- if you get one, you must promise to post a picture of you wearing it on this thread (that almost sounds like I'm soliciting porn pics -- WEAR SOMETHING UNDER THE BOA, please!!  I don't think Sluff's heart could take it!)  That's all you have to "pay" to get one; Marvin and I will take care of the rest.

I'll send them out on a first-come-first-served basis, so if you want one, let me know soon!  The first six to respond will get them.

Okay, who wants one?

P.S.  This is not a "girl" thing -- real men wear boas, too -- ask Sluff!

Shhhhh, willieandwinnie -- don't tell anyone else...When I got the boas in the mail, I put four aside (one for me, one for Marvin, one for you, and one for Len).  I was saving two just hoping you would want them.  (Although Marvin's not too sure about wearing a feather boa; maybe I can talk him into it.  I'll send one for Len, too, in the hopes that he might wear it.)

You, my friend, are always right on time as far as I'm concerned!
Title: Re: anyone want a purple boa?
Post by: willieandwinnie on March 06, 2008, 05:21:33 AM
Thanks petey. I look forward to wearing it. My Len always has a surprise of two in him. After 30 years, I'm still not sure what he'll do  :rofl;

To Romona, Treasure, and Slywalker --  I'm currently out of boas, but I just ordered more yesterday.  They should be here in about a week to ten days.  PM me your mailing address, and I'll send you one as soon as they come in.  (Anybody else, too  -- I've ordered two dozen more.)

Marvin and I have had the best time sending out these boas.  We love to see all the places they're going!  This has been a "fun" project for us.

If anybody wants to know where I'm getting them, it's from haloheaven.com .  I'm getting the 42-inch, purple ones.

I am trying to attach a couple of photos of Molly (my Springer Spaniel) wearing my boa. I promise to post one of me for World Kidney Day and I promise I will adopt a more elegant pose  :rofl; :rofl;  Her pedigree name is Oakwood Princess so I thought it appropriate that she be allowed to wear the regal boa just once.  If nothing is attached then don't be surprised - I'll come back seeking help.  Thanks again Petey & Marvin, it means a lot xxx

LOVE the first picture of Jenna!

I wore mine to take my son to school today, I think he was a little embarrassed. Oh well, 9 year old boys get that way! I plan on wearing it the rest of today (and I know that I need to go back up to the school and the grocery store, at least), maybe someone will ask about it!
Title: Re: anyone want a purple boa?
Post by: rose1999 on March 13, 2008, 07:45:12 AM
Well,at first the reserve of the Brits stopped people asking what I was doing wearing a purple boa to work - then my friend Jane came in and asked 'whatever are you up to?'.  I said 'thank God you asked I was beginning to wonder if the others thought I always dressed like this'  :rofl;  After that lots asked and I delighted in telling them all about IHD, Kidney disease, World Kidney Day, my lovely friends here and of course Goofynina. I also used it to remind them that we need to campaign for more local dialysis facilities (nearest is approx 30 mls away)

Anyway as promised (or was that threatened) here's my pic.

Sluff - PLEASE make it small, it's quite close up and will be bad enough without being HUGE.  Sorry to shatter all the illusions about a young attractive blonde or whatever pics you all had in your heads, I HATE having my photo taken, but if it promotes awareness of kidney disease etc it's all in a good cause.  Oh and THANKS Petey & Marvin for the boa - will continue to wear it.  :thx;

Thanks everyone, I was really nervous about posting this, I HATE having my photo taken but I'd PROMISED Petey and it was the least I could do when she'd so kindly sent a boa to the UK for me.  But I've actually enjoyed the day and talking to people about dialysis (as an advocate for my Dad). Petey I do hope you've seen these pics and realise how much happiness you have brought us all by sending out these boas - bless you  :cuddle;

Rose, tears came to my eyes when I saw you in that boa!  It really, really, really touched my heart to know that you wanted one, would wear it to work, and posted a pic for us to see.  Rose, you are a truly beautiful woman (inside and out).  When I saw your picture, I said, "She's just as pretty as her words make her sound."  What beautiful teeth you have (that kind of sounds like Red Riding Hood talking to the wolf, doesn't it?  :rofl;); I envy people with white, straight, gorgeous smiles!

And, Karol -- I laughed and laughed at Jenna's picture.  OHHHHH, to be young again!  Her spirit shows through in her face and her playfulness.  What a joy she must bring to your life!

Thanks to everybody who posted a picture in the boas!  I want to see more (hint, hint -- Rolando and Alene!).

Petey, to have someone from the USA admire my teeth is the icing on the cake.  :yahoo; They are just like that, I guess I'm lucky but they never look really good to me so you've made me feel GREAT!  (Even if you DID sound like Red Riding Hood, though I promise not to eat you!  :rofl;)  I too loved Karol's pics, they are both gorgeous ladies and, as you say, Jenna's spirit shines through. She must be such a source of pride to Karol.

MyssAnne I'm glad  you liked the photo of Molly, as soon as I put the boa on her she rolled onto her back as if to say don't I look good in this' - and to my surprise she didn't try to eat it  :rofl;. 

Today has made me even more proud than ever of this IHD family. Thanks for letting me be a part of your lives.  :grouphug;

Is it too late to get a boa.  I would love to wear one in honour of Goofy.  I don't have a job to wear it to but I will wear it too dialysis and help spread the word about IHD.

Looking forward to getting my boa.  I have been just enjoying those lovely pictures of people wearing their boas.  Goofynina would have been pleased as punch!  Rose, you look a bit like Archie Bunker's wife in the sitcom (Americans will know whom I mean) and she was a lady with a very lovely spirit, just like you. I was really impressed with your account of you wearing it to work and getting a chance to tell about kidney failure, etc.
All of you look just fabulous - a real tribute to the spirit of Goofynina.  Thank you so much Petey for making this a possibility for so many people.   I just love my IHD family!

I had to look this one up, I only hope I look like her in some earlier episodes as I see the actress who plays/played her is 34 years older than me  :rofl; :rofl;

rookiegirl -- you truly are a beautiful soul.  Glad you like the boa.  Thanks for posting the pic.

Rose -- it definitely is a compliment to say you remind us of Archie Bunker's wife, Edith.  Her tv character was loving, honest, innocent, fun, patient, very wise (though she played a "naive" role), and extremely kind to all.  She had beautiful eyes and a beautiful, warm, happy smile (even though she couldn't sing  :rofl; ).  There is something about her that says "Rose."   The fact that she was much older than you has nothing to do with it.  True beauty (both inner and outer) is ageless.  From what I've read, the lady who played Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton) was just as loving and kind in real life.

Rookie girl - beautiful photo, you are stunning.

Petey - thank you for explaining about Edith Bunker, I am truly honoured to be compared to such a character, I'm not sure that I am worthy of such a comparison although spookily I can't sing either  :rofl; - I remember when my boys were small and I'd sing along to the radio (I still do when I'm alone in the kitchen or the car) and they would say' oh please Mummy, don't sing'   Out of the mouths of babes  :)

Post by: rose1999 on April 13, 2008, 11:26:16 PM
Aw thanks everyone for the nice comments, I'll tell Dad you all think he's great.   :thumbup; 

He has a tough time with his kidney failure, PAD, aneurysm etc but he still has his scouse sense of humour (Ken will know what I mean but for those of you who are not in the UK, he is a scouser which means born in Liverpool and they have a reputation for their humour - amongst other things!) and although he moved to Shropshire when he was young, he still has the accent and is always the one to make a joke and have a laugh. These days he finds it harder and often has a little weep too, but he does his best bless him.  I'm his only daughter and (of course) he's my only Dad so we are very close as you can tell. 

By the way, no boas were harmed in the making of the hat, it is pinned on so can be removed and worn on other occasions - the UK hasn't seen the end of me in that boa, I am so proud to wear it.  :grouphug;
