Hey Beth, when I was a youngstern and getting dolled up to go out, my mum would say "You don't need to gild the lily" -hmmmmm you bring a whole new meaning to it now. Mind you she aso used to say " you can't make a sik purse out of a sows ear!
And you wonder why I,m not quite a full shilling!
Naej, This reminds me of my BF in highschool. She was Greek and her grandmother spoke no english, whatsoever. Anyway, Stephanie and I were getting all dolled up to go out and her grandmother was following us around shouting (normal for her). Anyway, when we left her grandmother screamed something at us from the porch. Stephanie cracked up. I said to Steph "what'd she say." She said "eat your ass with garlic on it." Seems she was upset that we were putting on makeup, etc to go out and attract the "wrong" kind of boys.
And....Stephanie had an arranged M. I thought no way could it ever work but she's still married to a very nice Greek boy!!!
