Good luck selling the neon orange leisure suit! Too bad there isn’t a companion piece… perhaps a neon green paper dress?
First of all, Geedee — thanks for your being a loyal fan. Your comments are most appreciated.
As for the paper dress, I recall that fashion (if you can call it that) was all the rage in the 1960s. Apparently, you can still buy a paper dress in a few special shops south of L.A. Of course, first try Amazon — they sell everything!
