26. Actually, I dressed nicely, too.
Edited on Sat Oct-09-04 10:03 PM by holyrollerdem
I am a middle-aged woman who copies off of her daughter's fashions. I wear hip-hugger flares and a pea-coat but then I dress up a bit with a classier look than what a teen does (my belly doesn't hang out, in other words). It is heck trying to walk door-to-door in my Eastland brown leather slip-on shoes but I want to look kind of middle-class midwestern soccer mom-like. People seem to be pretty accepting of that look and I feel the look sometimes has been captured by the Repubs which is not always true. I've been well received even by Republicans and sometimes I feel the way you look also influences how people perceive things. Ask Donald Trump!

I'm afraid that if I appear too "Democratic" with all kinds of campaign advertising on me, people will immediately shut me off if they don't associate themselves with the Dem party. So I go "incognito"!

on edit: I try to take AZDem's advice about wearing patriotic colors, too. I wear a white pea-coat and carry a huge red leather bag to keep all my campaign material in. Then I either wear blue jeans or a blue shirt! Hope that passes as patriotic AZDem!! lol
