I don't think we are "naff" here in Vacaville. LOL. Did go to the beauty salon yesterday afternoon. Kept on my jeans and black top.

Walked in, said "hello" to everyone and than did a double take. I kid you not.

I counted! 13 women in the salon (customers) and 9 had on jeans and black tops!!!! Oh sigh, there is no help for any of us in the Sacramento Valley is there?

Oh, Lord, I hope we all don't start saying naff as much as M_K does. I'm thinking of buying her a thesaurus for Christmas so that she might find (& use) new words with which to insult us.

Frankly, everytime I see her use the term "naff" my eyes glaze over and the rest of her message is lost on me. It's like talking to someone with spinach on his/her teeth ~ it's all you focus on!!

BeatChick,

LOL...that is too funny, I feel the same way about the other brit, forgot his name who keeps using the word "naff", come on, these people keep talking about how much better they are than anybody and they only know one word to insult people....how naff!

You know, us naff chicks in the Sacto Valley have never been trendsetters. Sacramento has always been considered a "cow town", and by definition Vacaville really is!

My "uniform" in this country and any other is and always will be jeans and something black. So there.

At least a spade will recognise itself as a spade.

If you want to wear black sweaters/tops with jeans, then wear grey/black jeans, or a grey/black cord in jeans style.

Needless to say, I will never be visiting your part of the world.

I cannot imagine visiting a part of your world either, m_k, I don't know if it actually exists.
To further condemn myself to naffiness for life, in addition to being a gormless soul, I wore, blue jean capris today with a pale cream shell with a black cardigan over it!
Send them to get me and shove me into that Prison Cell for the Fashion Naff~

For a crime as grievous as that, solitary confinement is the only punishment suitable.

Scarlett: I shall visit you daily in prison and smuggle in little vials of salad cream in the pockets of my blue jeans and up the sleeves of my black turtleneck!

When you've compiled a sufficient hoard of salad cream (provided you resist slathering it on your face and hair as a moisturizer or get robbed of it by others with different uses in mind) then you can grease the bars of your cell with the slippery stuff and just slide right on out.

I'll be waiting outside the joint. Look for the Smart Car hidden behind a large French poodle named "Pup", who will be sitting there with a air of casual innocence and a welcoming glass of Lillet.

Signed,
Naff N. Gormless

All very well and good, Scarlett, but what shoes did you wear? You left out the key piece of information!

Were they (shudder shudder) w-h-i-t-e????

Yeah Scarlett, what color WERE you shoes. Hopefully not gold??? LOL

You do not want to give MK2 a heart attack, or do you?

And 1Tiredmama. Know you know, inspite of what everyone thinks, Vacaville is not meant to be "cowtown". It was named for a Manuel (or was it Jose?) Vaca that gave some of his land, one square acre I think to start the city of Vacaville but only if they would name it after him. Honest, this is the truth.

But Cowtown it has become.
And fashion leader, NOT.

But one thing you and I can become greatful for is that MK2 refuses to come here to visit. We should get down on our knees and thank the heavens above for that bit of news. Of course MK2 declared in another post that he/she will not be visiting the USA at all due to immigration lines. Such a loss, LOL.

LOL, m_k, you are SO Right Solitary it is then~

Thank you my dear Madame, the salad cream sounds like it will do the trick. Pup can also entertain any police that may be looking with some of his charming little tricks..they won't even notice me shimmying down the wall covered in Salad cream...
m_k, what will they make me wear in Prison for the Naff?

dln, I wore, Cole Hahn shoes with tiny little heels...I could have made the cast of one of those Beverly Hills things, or Dallas if my hair would only get BIG enough

Never say "never," m_kingdom, because you never know.

LoveItaly, you prove my point. You may not care for the look, but you're going to see it everywhere in urban America.

I can't see any purpose to my visiting America. The smaller, less well known parts certainly lack any appeal. The huge, faceless shopping malls aren't me either. NYNY is a little mad for my liking, but would (how unoriginal) be my number one American destination, indeed, I've been there many, many times over the years.

Shopping there is, currently (I believe) around 10 per cent less than London prices, however, getting there, and staying costs far outweigh the discounts received on the pieces purchased. As for your ridiculous new immigration scheme - sadly, if terrorists want to attack this madness won't deter them whatsoever - it will only further damage your economy, but it's the politicians who are to blame. Hopefully, Bush will go this year and his prayer buddy* Blair the next!

*This is a point the British interviewer (Sir) David Frost has touched on twice with Tony Blair "Do you and president Bush pray together?" - both times Blair laughs off the question, and is not amused.

All of us in America are breathing a collective sigh of relief, dearie.

Yes MK2 , now we can all relax and just run around in our jeans and black tops without worrying about running into you, haha! That has been a big concern.

But, if you do change your mind, please remember to dress like an American, you do not want to look like a "tourist" do you?

Just post your questions on Fodors and we will all jump in and give you all the fashion advice we know. Well except maybe for Scarlett who probably will still be behind bars. Oh, and Faina and Marilyn may not be avaiable because they may still be sitting on their hands, but that is another story.

A good weekend to you MK2.

I knew my prayers would pay off....no Naff MK in the U S and even more assured no MK in my part of the world, I'm in Sacto Valley as well...Elk Grove/Sacramento.

I feel so happy knowing that a small minded judgmental naff person won't come and spoil my part of the world.

By the way today, I'm wearing a black top, black jeans and red shoes!!! Oooh, I'm sure I just broke some fashion laws...I'm so scared!

My dear, I would look like myself, I never change how I dress. If I went trekking in South American jungles, I'd still wear the same styles, however impractical they might be, but this is all conjecture as I've no intention of trekking jungles either!

Besides, you Americans all seem fascinated by European tourists, especailly British ones.

Ah, m_kingdom, what a mental picture that conjures -- Up the Amazon in Designer Duds. Some lovely pointy pumps with heels as well, I trust, although they can be challenging on those jungle trails.

Hmmm..up the Amazon...up the down staircase, avec pumps and does that mean hose also? Panty hose or garter belt..oh curses a run!!!!!

Everyone, everyone, go to the thread "Top Travel Related News"! You will just die!!!!

Well especially MK2.

It is about Hooters opening up in China but one of the post states that in Florida the hooter girls wear, guess this, panty hose with their shorts!!!!
In Florida no less!!!!

MK2, you really should go there, you just don't know what you are missing!!

And to you Florida citizens, sorry. But we in Sacramento Valley CA just want to be sure we are sounding soooo boring that MK2 won't even think of visiting.
Sure you understand, and can make this sacrifice.
