Aprons: A whole new Meaning

When I was growing up the pinny,or apron, was a symbol of domesticity and drudgery. It took a new generation of women for me to slowly change that view. It's so intriguing to see how they have become so popular and a fashion statement of sorts.

I just read this on the "who does she think she is" facebook page

"I would like to take the lowly apron, worn by common housewives and redefine it as the battle gear needed for the 21st century. Instead of the meek, demure, frilly half skirt speaking of scrubbed sinks and clean dishes, the apron should speak to world peace and sanity. Like chamber maid furies, we need to recycle, clean up, and restore. Strap on your aprons girls."

~~ Edith Vonnegut, Painter

Kind of puts my apron to shame.

  DANG, Pinny has a slang meaning. Wearing my pinny may have a whole new meaning.
