Zera, Never thought about him having children because I considered him like a vampire, the walking dead.  Would he ever procreate?  I don’t think that kind of person would willingly.  I knew it was a story.  Read it several times.  Just stuck in my mind because I just watched the movie on tape recently with Angela Landsbury(sp?) as the first young woman that Grey despoils.  Great movie.

Another thought Zera Lee, Dorian was in his early twenties(?) at the beginning of the story(say 1890).  His grandmother would possibly be in her sixties, so in the 1920’s she could have been in her 90’s.  The Queen Mother wore outfits like this one till she died when she was well over 100.  So it is feasible that a 90 year old grandma could have wore this outfit in 1920’s when they first became popular.  (Just having a laugh over the whole thing but that’s basically the whole thing that was behind what I was thinking).   Kind of ruins the spontaneity of the whole thing by thinking it out in print. 

Isn’t it great that fashion comes around so often.  If we all only had giant closets we could keep everything we bought and then just change it up a bit when it becae fashionable again.  I wish I had kept my stuff from the 80’s because  it would be a laugh to wear now that it is fashionable again.

Have a nice day Zera Lee.
