Stealing from the family

I am stealing today from my cousin, Jennie.  She is the inspiration for my blog, since she got one first.  She consulted with me on naming and constructing my blog.  And this week, I am not only taking her ideas and free advice, but I am taking her actual entry.  Periodically she throws this photo around and I used to think she was making it up, but it turns out I am actually descended from the same gene pool as these ladies.  I believe they are my Dad’s aunts. Jennie’s posting has this photo and talks about how she blames the Niles genes for a lot, but I think she also takes some comfort in knowing what the future holds for her, if history repeats itself. 

Jennie is looking forward to big boobs, loud dresses, and life in the trailer park.  Unfortunately, no amount of life living can probably bring big boobs to my future, but I can certainly have the dresses and the real estate.  I think I saw a skirt just like the middle dress at Target last week, and I am pretty sure they sell a similar necklace and handbag, and we did buy that trailer last year, so who says I need to wait?  If I can steal Jennie’s ideas then I suppose stealing 3 Niles women’s sense of style shouldn’t trouble me at all.  Come to think of it, it sure seems like Isaac Mizrahi is doing a little stealing of his own, doesn’t it?  I wonder if he has seen this picture…
