Helen out and about and the ballet

[Helen 2]

Ahh...what a lovely afternoon and evening....early dinner in Oba in Portland and then ballet at the Keller Auditorium.
Oregon Ballet Theater always has really outstanding performances...well worth it

Thank the Lord I wore some 3.5" heels and not my usual higher heels...after 7 hours, I was ready to take my shoes off!
hugs to all..

Glad you had a good time and look great to

[Rachelakld]

lucky girl, and looking so pretty

[Helen Grandeis]

Very nice shoes. Nice outfit. Always a good idea to have a pair a flat slippers handy. However, no room for those in a tiny dress purse.

[Shari]

Lucky girl.
The ballet is always one place I wanted to go when dressed.

[Marcelle]

Hi Helen,

It sounds like a wonderful evening and the Ballet, who could complain. Love the outfit and you look marvelous.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Helen, That sounds like you had a wonderful time at the Ballet you look fantastic.

Next time take a pair of (Ballet Flats) with you.

[Raychel]

You look fantastic Helen, Love the shoes and the dress, well actually the whole look. :thinking:


Sounds like a great night, something I would love to do someday.

[MsVal]

Much as I do not want to sound like someone that says "Me Too", I honestly must say that you look wonderful. I really like the whole ensemble.

I *DO* have one original thought: That's a great photo, given difficult back lighting.

Best

Helen,

What a fantastic event for you - would love to do ballet or a concert too - and a super look and appropriate ensemble: simple, striking and classy! :cheers:

Charming...

Hi Helen, Sounds like a great night.

[Beverley Sims]

The only Ballet I see is usually from the wings when I am working.
Some of those girls look cute closeup, I don't care for the men so much. :)

[kimdl93]

Fun night and you look great!

[CarlaWestin]

Helen, it sounds like you had a wonderful evening. Is Portland really that cool?

[Helen 2]

Hi gurls, thanks for all the lovely replies and Carla and yes, PDX really is that cool...here, as long as one is not offensive in any way, almost everything goes. Two rows in front of us at the theatre was a gay couple and before the program started, they leaned into each other and gave themselves a quick kiss and all was well. It truly and well is a very accepting city...

As to me, I did not see anyone -absolutely ANYONE staring at me or doing double-takes, and I had asked my girl friend (a GG) to be on the lookout for people staring at us and she reported no one, so....I either passed pretty well or again -no one cares that a reasonably put-together T-gurl was among them.

I do have to say 'not bad for being on the wrong side of 60'.

[Missy Tanya]

I'm really surprised no one was looking, I would have been in either dress mode. Your picture shows nothing of been on the wrong side of anything. Lovely my dear. Only thing I would change is me sitting next to you for the evening out..

[Persephone]

Beautiful!

Hugs,
Persephone.

[Danielle Gee]

I've always wanted to dress and go to the Ballet and then out for drinks. Your a beautiful and lucky woman! Congratulations

"I did not see anyone -absolutely ANYONE staring at me or doing double-takes"

Now, if I was there, I would be staring. I always enjoy looking at beautiful ladies. You're in that category. IMHO. :o

[Stephanie47]

You look very attractive. The dress looks marvelous on you. Everyone should look so well being on the 'wrong' side of sixty.

[Kristy 56]

Helen, you look fantastic ! I love the ballet,and you got to go as Helen ! I think that ballerinas are one of the best symbols of femm. You lucky girl. :)
PS, I'm almost on the other side of 60, but look no where as goos as you.
Kristy :)

[suzanne]

What s beautifully put together outfit! Killer legs, too. Wrong side of sixty? Even more amazing! The opera is the kind of place where the appearance standards are pretty high, so kudos for passing that test.

[Michellegryl]

Helen you look wonderful, very classy and put together. Their is no way that I would have ever thought that you were on the wrong side of 60.
Kudos girl you look amazing.

[Shellycd12]

Sounds like a fantastic evening.

[Glenda58]

You look great for going to the ballet. And your not on the wrong side of 60. I'm pushing 70.

[Helen 2]

Wow. No way you would get me to believe that! U look awesome yourself!

[GenieGirl]

Your legs look great in that dress girl. I wonder how many men's eyes they caught.
