I know it's a talent of its own, and you've got the goods! And please make the more narrowedly-hipped ones, just because I want to see them - uh - oh, yes - and because you want to, right? The current ones are great on you! And Happy Belated Birthday! (I spent me entire 50th year thinking I was 52.
