<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 253676, member: 44"]Love the outfit! The outfit I had wasn't nearly so well done. I hardly worn the skirt to mine. I worn the hat, shirt, vest, and boots with an old pair of my brother's pants/trouser's that were part of his cowboy outfit from a few years earlier. By the time I reach the cowboy phenomenon (mid 1940s to c1950), my brother had outgrown both physically and mentally the cowboy mentality. My outfit is long gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Excuse me while I reminisce. During that stage of my life, Gene Autry was my hero. My brother said probably because his hat never fell off during a fight. LOL Anyways, on a family overnight weekend stay in Boston to see a rodeo at the Boston Garden, we were staying at the Parker House. On coming down to the lobby in the morning, there was Gene Autry at the desk all dressed up in cowboy boots and stetson!!!! The family tried to push me over to him to get an autograph. I was shocked and so very disappointed for he was sooooo short. My father towered over him and my brother was almost his height. Needless to same Gene Autry soon faded from hero status. </p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
