Cufflinks. None lying around from the seventies, eh? Yeah, I know you were too young then.
I'm loving this vicarious living!
I've got lots of cufflinks! I used to wear french cuffs to work. (4 star hotel, downtown Dallas. Strict suit & tie dress code.)
That's the problem! Which pair to wear!
Do I wear the pair my sister got for me when I graduated from college? They're comedy/tragedy masks, and I graduated with a BA in Theatre Arts. And they're from my sister. So they represent a part of me, and my family.
Do I wear the Superman cufflinks? I've been collecting Superman stuff since I was eight. When I first got that job at the hotel in Dallas and for the first time in my life was making a somewhat decent living; I went to the Warner Brothers Studio Store (how I miss those stores!) after depositing my first paycheck and bought sterling silver Superman cufflinks for myself. I rationalized the expense by thinking that if I need cufflinks, I was gonna have Superman links! LOL. To me they represent another part of me, and my ability to stand on my own two feet.
Or do I wear a pair that I was given by my Mom's dad? They were Papa's cufflinks. I don't know why a retired coalminer even had cufflinks. I rarely saw him out of overalls. But when I got ready to go to the prom for the first time, I was told that he'd sent them for me to wear. They're my first pair, and a connection to my grandparents who are no longer with us, so they can't be there.
That's the dilemma. Of all the sets of cufflinks I've got, there are 3 that are equally special to me, and I can't decide.
And if THIS doesn't prove that I'm Over-thinking every stupid little detail, I don't know what does!
