        Aha @shiney. Puzzles me though. Wouldn't short trousers be more comfortable in the heat?

          It's the traditional form of dress for both sexes.

          Except when there's a religious ceremony.

          Only one of these is female!

            The detail in the beading reminds me of the costumes that are made for the "little Mardi Gras". I was dumbstruck by the detail in the costumes at their museum which was in a small bungalow far from the touristy spots. It takes them a full year to make and decorate them. Then each parish competes to see who will win a coveted trophy.

            Amazing!

              Me on VE Day anniversary, had a look for what I had got from that era: wearing my Dad's WW2 Army tunic (he was a Desert Rat then a POW for 3 years), my Uncle's Steel helmet and a WD-1940 Mug:

                          Thanks @Upsydaisy and @glengarry23 I am so loving short hair, especially in the heat here and not getting strangled in bed with it, :heehee:

                          Philip, Izzy Blue is a little younger than me ... she is only 23, been with me 13 years.
