National Seersucker Day

[Shyheels]

Not only is it election day here in the UK, but over in the good old US of A it is National Seersucker Day - a tradition observed in the US Congress where the gentlemen (and since 2004, the ladies) wear seersucker suits to instil a bit of old southern country charm (a la Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird) Sounds kind of cool, really. But where do you even go to buy seersucker suits nowadays?

Trust a guy from Kentucky to know all about seersucker suits!

Oh I can think of a lot of things relative to the antics in DC, and wearing a specific material in suit for the day  - - - - Oh I'm not going there.

I think Darren McGavin wore a seersucker suit when he played Kolchak the Night Stalker.

As I'm seventh daughter of a seventh daughter you might understand why I spent today shying away from leeches.

Seersucker is an East Coast, aka Sweat Coast, thing. We stop them at the border and don't let them into the state.

I believe you're right! I loved that show when I was a kid. I'd forgotten all about it!

That is quite an interesting blog post! Seems the suits from both of the high quality makers are all sold out

[iggy_ze]

Surely, seersucker suits are sold by seersucker suit shops.

[Shyheels]

Now why didn't I think of that?

One needs to live in Beastly Eastleigh for a while to fully appreciate the grim obviousness of life

Megan that's why you need to get your passport and see more than the grim obviousness of life

That's easy for you to type!

She sells sea shells at the seersucker shop

[Cali]

See Seersucker Sally Southern sell seersucker suits.

I fear it's only a matter of time until a pheasant plucker raises his head.

[Cali]

Stop living in fear. The grey skies aren't everywhere.

I just determined one of my bikini bottoms is made using seersucker material, never would have known without this topic. LOL

Now back to your Pleasant peasant pheasant plucker Penelope's purple pump purchase.

Alliteration - what you give your cat each week

[meganiwish]

For those of you who enjoy naivety, there was a thing for teaching reading here in the UK called Letterland.  It was largely based on alliteration, Annie Apple, you get the idea.  The letter that strayed from that was X, 'Kissing cousins'.  Was that Harper Lee's input?  Anyway, for 'L' it was 'Lamplady Lucy'.  I could only ever hear this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q56QzGcAKZc

Should have been Xavier's Xylophone!

Actually, I always rather favoured Xenophobic Xavier.  The picture could have been of a benign middle-class skinhead.  I should probably have given this link https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=letterland&id=D5836819B83BB67C708CD0E3B31E9FD7CE673B43&FORM=IQFRBA
