The Tree o’ Bra’s. Flashback! Picture it! December, 1982. An apartment building in Ogden, UT, called Harrison Heights, directly west of Weber State College. (It was still a college back then.) Picture six WSC female students living in one apartment. Three of the six hailed from Delta. Those three gals? Yours truly, Terilyn Anderson, and Tauna Louder.
We had few lights or ornaments for trimming our Christmas tree, so we came up with our own speshul decor. (This is why you should always have clean underwear.) All visitors to our abode enjoyed our sexily festive tree. Especially the Elders Quorum. And I seem to recall our bra tree provoked plenty o’ guessing about which bra belonged to which broad. Ho, ho, ho and ho, ho, ho! Six, count ’em. Six.
I’m still amused about our brassiere-clad tree. But when I found this photo, I– being who I am– wanted to see how the tree might have looked if I had lived alone and had been going through a fit of bow tie mania. I think Bow Ties o’ the Day look superbly fa-la-la-la-la pasted on the picture of the tree. But the bras win, cups down. We girls chose the right when we chose the bra theme.
I can’t believe I still had this photo in my files. These little surprises rock. Such “finds” make cleaning out boxes and bins and files infinitely interesting. On one hand, I want to be done going through musty old boxes and dusty envelopes. I want the culling project finished right now. On the other hand, I hope I never get to the end of mysterious boxes and bins and files of lost treasures.
BTW I’m adding these six, cut-out catalog Bow Ties o’ the Day to our seasons’ tally total, because I do have these actual bow ties in my collection. The HOLIDAY TIE TALLY, as of this post: 66 Bow ties. 125 Neckties. And there are plenty more to come, in the final week before X-mas.
