The Times They Are A-Changin Linda Knight Seccaspina
When I was 15 years old my high school class went to the Dorval Airport (now Trudeau International Airport) in Montreal on a field trip. As we sat in the once luxurious airplane seats I dreamed about becoming an airline stewardess travelling the world. Each time my Dad would provide a ride to a local TCA (Air Canada) stewardess I longed to wear her dark green outfit with the tall hat. This was to…

Today’s prompt from NaPoWriMo.net
Provides a list of twenty things to be included in the poem. It’s called the “Twenty Little Poetry Projects,” and was originally developed by Jim Simmerman. The challenge is to use/do all of the following in the same poem. Of course, if you can’t fit all twenty projects into your poem, or a few of them get your poem going, that is just fine too!”
Here is…

Linda's Grammy Red Carpet Fashion Rant
Dua Lipa
For years I wrote about the fashion that graced the award show red carpets and loved every minute of it. After 14 years of not doing it I feel the urge to start typing again tonight about what I think about the red carpet Emmys last night. I apologize in advance if anyone feels offended with what I wrote– but Steve can tell you my live chat is worse than my type. LOL
What got me…

Conversations Between Linda Dryer and Linda Seccaspina ---- 80s Fashion and Where are all my Clothes are Going
Linda’a response to My Fashionable Life — Was it Because I Have AB Positive Blood? Linda Knight Seccaspina
Fashion Opinions by Linda (More) Dryer
I think it is interesting to discern what novel fashion items belong uniquely to a generation. Once I asked a young assistant in the 90s what she thought her 1980s generation had produced. One item after the other item mentioned by Erin (17 years old)…

A True Story Linda Knight Seccaspina
A True Story Linda Knight Seccaspina
I wrote a story 15 years ago and never had the courage to make it public even though I can’t really blame it on myself, as I just didn’t know any better. I always feel like my late sister had a difficult time after my mother died and am very thankful for my Grandmother Mary Knight and our next door neighbours. I would like to think that any younger person,…

“Whatever You Want”
“Whatever You Want” Linda Knight Seccaspina
Sherbrooke Record Column December 14th,
I am not hiding the fact that I have “the plague” as they call it– as it is nothing to be ashamed about, and we need to be aware.This is a new reality with heavy chest infections and pneumonia creeping among us and in the news headlines. Nothing you can do about this, but try to be protective. It is very…

Please Do Not Try This At Home — The Winter Edition -- Linda Knight Seccaspina
Please Do Not Try This At Home — Linda Knight Seccaspina
This journey through pneumonia has not been pleasant and I’m trying to get better. But having all these new “senior things and issues” thrown at me that I have never used before has started to depress me. This sickness is a serious business and no one should try what I did last night. I repeat- this is a true tale, BUT DO NOT attempt this…

It’s a Hard Knock Life – People I Meet on the Road of Life-- Linda Knight Seccaspina
It’s a Hard Rock Road – People I Meet on the Road of Life
I am not a fan of Taylor Swift’s music. Let Swifties be Swifties and I am all great with that. You probably don’t want to listen to Madonna music, and no matter what kind of music you like we all live in harmony.
But what bothers me is how they sell concert tickets now. You either get a code–or you are on the waitlist. It boggles my mind…

OH MY GOTH!! Savannah Devilles
Yesterday was the first time I had dressed in my old gothic clothes for a long time for the opening of the Deadly Grounds Cafe in Carleton Place. After Flash Cadilac closed at 174 Rideau I opened Savanah Devilles for a few years on Rideau and it was the first of its kind for gamers, the gothic folk and those that loved the Comic Cons. They were not really around then and I went to the second…

Memories of my Grandmother
Memories of my Grandmother
I saw this picture on Facebook and the tears came down my face. I was raised pretty well by my grandparents and they were the beginning footsteps to making my life a kinder softer world when life wasn’t so grand.
Years have passed since my grandmother Mary Louise Deller Knight died. I was her granddaughter, yet I also was her daughter, as she was always there for me with her comforting hands and…

Last night I watched The Devil Wears Prada for the 100th time and wondered again why character Andy Sachs put up with that awful Runway Magazine editor. When I got up this morning I realized I too had once been an “Andy Sachs” and today I thanked my lucky stars that I had these “Miranda…

I learned some valuable lessons during my initial employments. One of the most important things I noticed was never let your paramours be involved in your business. I watched short-duration girlfriends be allowed to become fashion buyers and awarded free living…

Flashbacks of Little Miss Flash Cadilac-- Chapter 2 --Was it Because I Have AB Positive Blood? Element #1
Flashbacks of Little Miss Flash Cadilac– Chapter 2 –Was it Because I Have AB Positive Blood? Element #1
Was it Because I Have AB Positive Blood? Element #1
was told by my doctor once that 10% of the world’s population has AB Positive blood and it’s where I get my “oddness” from. Funny, I never thought I was odd! All I knew was I didn’t want to end up in the military like my Father had daily visions of. It had come to his attention many times that I was different, and I stuck out like a sore thumb…
