Hi Barbie,

Aww, you are so sweet, thank you hun. My whole life I have never been able to eat rich fatty foods and I think my metabolism just burned any fat off (never stored much) expending energy moving around in a busy work day. Now that I am retired for 8 years in the warm weather I go for walks or hikes 3 or 4 times a week for about 30 to 60 minutes.

We both have slim legs (although mine don't show in this pic). I like your pose, arms crossed, standing firm, like this is my break and I am not leaving this nice place until I am ready.

Pretty setting outside your office.

I have other outdoor pics to see about putting here. Look forward to more outdoor pics from you.

Enjoy
Hugs
Jamie

Jamie,

Your fashion sense is great. I guess the depth of experience is a most important factor in choosing appropriate clothes and accessories.

Just ago, I went out for lunch with my colleagues and they took some photos for me. That is my university. Weather is so nice today.

Hi Barbie,

Nice when you can get your friends to take your pics. Compared to men, there is such great variety of styles, patterns & colors in women's fashions to choose & create your own look. I love this. In the warm weather, so neat to get into comfortable casual chic clothes. Yours look young and wonderful. Uni pics are cool, especially the top. A lovely setting and I like the wide walking path. Looks like you dress femme 24/7.

My pic at the top in the print dress, a cd mtf friend of mine was vacationing in Hawaii a few years ago & brought that back for me. She is a good friend and traveling in China on vacation now. The middle two pics are retro (sometimes found in stores for teens to twenties) like the fashions my Mom wore in the 1950's, very feminine, which I love. I like the thin strap or strapless fashions, air conditions the skin, a little flirty.

Humble bow, thank you. Your are bang on about choosing appropriate clothes and accessories. If I were a taller person and larger frame with some old age weight of my 70 years I would probably be dressing a lot more conservatively. Being 5' 1" petite and teen figure I fit a small or extra small size and wear the pretty fashions of your age. I am so lucky.

Have a Beautiful weekend pretty lady.
See each other in more pics.
Jamie

I think this is just about all of my outdoor pics. From Oct. 2007.

Hope to see more outdoor pics of members here.

Jamie

Oh you two look like your having way too much fun ^^

@Jamie I agree, I think the male population is neglected in the fashion department v.v But I guess a few of us punks know how to kick it ~.^

@JayKyle - Fun, yah I guess Barbie & I have the girl appreciation thing goin' on. Good that you jumped in.

Male fashion in the late 60's early 70's had mod colors goin' on for a change and style fashions, Nehru jacket, Coachman collars and double breasted jackets with sailor like bell bottom or flaired pant legs. Way cool, but then it all went away. I miss that creativity and adventure, to be different.

Have a good weekend, see ya.

Jamie

I prefer juniors' style. Size of my top is mostly small, but sometimes extra small. But, IMHO, looking conservative requires more elegant sense of fashion. My fashion is usually very bold, attracting unnecessary attention. However, I think my fashion sensing has progressed.

My photos at Seattle in 2008:




I also like revealing my shoulders. My wife does not like my wearing the tube top below. I can not find it any more at my home. I guess she threw it away, although she denies it.



I liked the tube top so much, and I will purchase another one very soon.

You have the figure to pull it off.  I love your long black hair too.  You are just all together beautiful. 

This is a picture taken in a park near my house.  There is a lake behind the reeds not visible in the picture.  It's a great place to go for a walk around the lake or just relax.

I guess I don't know how to add a picture to my post.  The photo I tried to add didn't show up.

Hi,

Julie,

Why don't you try www.photobucket.com ? This site provides easy way of posting photos. I also utilize that site to post my photos.

Barbie, this is not my photo (National Park Service), but a place I have hiked to, that has an interesting igneous exposure.



It's called the "Devil's Postpile."

hexagonal and cubic, reminds me of devil's tower

Peky,

Thanks for your encouraning words.

This year, several million people around the world are expected to visit Korea for Expo 2012: http://eng.expo2012.kr/main.html

I will also go there on next Monday, staying a week to attend an international symposium. Also it will be a nice chance to take outdoor photos.

Cheers,

Barbie~~

We'll see if this works.  Thanks Barbie.

Barbie,

The 3 pics in Seattle, I can see your fashion sense which is lovely. I like bright colors, patterns and detail like the dress in the middle pic. Interesting about the tube top, maybe your wife wears it when you aren't around. I hope she didn't through it out.

Did you live int the U.S. for a while?

Enjoy
Hugs
Jamie

Julie,

You are a quick learner. You seem to be live in a rural area.

Barbie~~

Yesterday night I met my friends who teach at a university here. In campus areas, I try to wear like college students. For example, wearing sneakers in stead of heels. I wore a skirt, black leggings, and very tight top with sneakers. As it was night, I could not take photos.

A photo taken in a unversity campus here about 4 years ago:



And in the downtown about 2 weeks ago:



Actually, my biological age is nearly the same as parents of those college students, but I like and still try to enjoy their juvenescence.

No I actually live in a fairly large city...Denver Colorado.  There's more than 2 million people living in the metropolitan area.  The photo does look rural but it's a city park.  In fact if the picture was taken in the opposite direction you would be able to see homes off in the distance.  I love living here, it's a wonderful place.
