Hello from the North to overalls fans overall the globe ready for first overalls day Nov 20!

12 11 2009

DSC018613274669469_a7374a1245Hi everybody, during the last day or 2, a lot of bib overalls fans have shown up on facebook thanks to Woodstock Lily and Jodi so a lot of people are preparing celebrations on Friday next week ! that’s just fantastic! I had never dreamed of that when Susan and I got the idea earlier this year and then joined by Laury and Maya so even if I am a rare person here in Norway standing in the auditorium in overalls, I now really feel there is a shared happiness among those who wear overalls because it is comfortable, relaxing and a special joy of following the process of fading and getting almost torn and fringed etc. but then patched in many creative and colorful ways ! like my old jeans jacket from ‘61 and “new” key overalls from 2001DSC00926 so I am really looking forward to see how the first overalls day is going to be like! and please take a look at notquitejunecleaver tomorrow for recipes for overalls celebration parties next week!





Motto for International Overalls Day Nov 20: Make overalls the default dress code !

7 11 2009

DSC01845P1000735 Now there is only 13 days left before 1st international overalls Day and one thing is clear, the primary reason why people are choosing overalls as their favorite clothing is comfort and thus the possibility of relaxing and breathing all the way down from your head to your feet, so as mentioned yesterday, why not making overalls to the default dress code, couldn’t be fun to see signs: only overalls are allowed !:), well, I really don’t want to press people something they don’t like, but then one could make a recommendation ! then it is still up to people to decide ! So let us show the people why it is so wonderful to wear overalls on ordinary days as well as to parties, like myself in the kitchen today and to a New Year party a few years ago after a glass or two of wine !:) So be ready for November 20 !!





Mom’s 95 years birthday – thoughts on celebrations/party, breathing and overalls – contradiction or possible to bring together ?

6 11 2009

DSC01814DSC01825Today my mother turned 95 and I and my 2 brothers went down to her residence for dementia people, and it was really nice to make a party for her ! and I was of course wearing overalls and my so called red butterfly ! and while this happened, Ms. Moon, another overalls addict, wrote about how awful it is to put restrictions on your capacity of breathing when you go to parties like Weddings etc. by wearing bras or in my case belts etc. instead of wearing overalls and t-shirt and no narrow shoes or like ! why is it supposed to be proper to limit your capacity for being relaxed and breathe all the way down, when you are making some kind of festivities or celebrations ! perhaps the International overalls day will be the start of a revolution against restrictive dressing up ! Let’s make relaxing parties with overalls and similar breathing clothes , to the default dress code !!





Impressions from the North viewed from bibfessors window

DSC01760DSC01765DSC01775 well, over all you have nature and up here where I live, it is sometimes just so unbelievable beautiful (at least for me and my DW) so sitting in my living room in nice overalls and just watching the change of light and the profile of mountains and cloud formations with a good cup of coffee,thats just good life ! and one simple idea for the overalls day might be to make a kind of web gallery if possible with all the posts on Nov 20 supporting the overalls day ! with photos taken on the day of the growing number of people ready to celebrate the overalls ! have a nice Sunday !





Celebrate overalls day with overalls photos all over the web

24 10 2009

DSC01734IOD getting close to 1st international overalls day, I am posting a photo from my recent visit to San Francisco visiting my dear friend Mary, our landlady, when we lived in SF for a year. Sometimes I may feel crazy doing all this about overalls ! but Mary supports me with full heart ! and I am also so grateful for people like Laury who is posting overalls photos every day now and Farmer Lee who is going to have everybody on his farm to wear overalls on November 20 and make a group photo on the web on November 20, so if a lot of blogging people, who love overalls, are going to put photos on from now on and especially on November 20 and tell why they love overalls ! it could be really fun and please take a look on my own flickr album as well as Laurys album and I also have an idea on making a book and I will come back to that !





be ready for 1st international overalls day – count down 30 days from now !

20 10 2009

be ready to wear your overalls at least on November 20 in addition to all the other days enjoying one of the best, if not the very best clothing item in the world, look relaxed, enjoy life while breathing all the way down your body, enjoy life while you are still able to do it !





Go to thrift stores and become fashionable for a nice price !

7 10 2009

DSC01742DSC01744DSC01745 Go to your nearest thrift store and look for overalls, hopefully you will be as lucky as I am here in San Francisco, at Mission Thrift and Clothes contact on Valencia. They have lots of well worn overalls, although most I saw yesterday were in pretty big size, around 40-34, but I also found a “new” Round house pair ! wonderful and overalls folks out there, please tell me and other overalls fans how your experience is preparing for having a good life every day and for the big overalls day !

Revisiting Nancy in overalls – once discovered the comfort of overalls, hard to change that !

5 09 2009

IODsmallDo you remember my post back in 2007 about the overalls fan from New York, Nancy,in a fashion show, where the Cojo fashion guy tried to persuade Nancy to give up her beloved overalls, well, I felt sad for her ! and now, yesterday, there was a follow up to see how well Cojo was doing his overhaul with Nancy, and I am so happy to see Nancy back in her overalls ! and she says that she went back to her overalls almost immediately after the show in 2006 ! and if you see in the comments, peoples agree and even Cojo admits that you should wear what you want to wear ! so hurrae for that ! it could be fun to have Nancy joining us on overalls day !
