I can't get any of your image links to work (they just show lots of ads but no photos!) but your mom looks happy enough in the tiny photo! Thanks for reviewing it though - the bad reviews are just as important as the good! 6/25/09 11:15 AM

My DH walked by once while I was trying on a top for final fitting and commented that I looked like his Auntie (she is in her 80's) and that top came off so fast and went straight into the trash. I am not ready to look like I'm in my 80's yet! 6/25/09 1:30 PM

squirellypoo and emkaz, I think the pictures were still being processed on the site even though the links had already been generated. Now it's fine. 6/25/09 2:04 PM
