<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Thanks Fred for the photos of the hoses. They are all gorgeous, but I'll say the original one looks more like the color I remember from my childhood, the turquoise chevron pattern a bit subdued in hue.</span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">I recently found a wonderful thrift shop find. Haven't had time to write about it yet, but I will. Here's a tease of the original hose that came with it and you'll see the coloring is very similar to the original LX hose above, albeit a bit faded.</span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">But boy, the darker ones sure do look nice with the machine. The one in the middle is my favorite. (Do you need my shipping address hahaha?!)</span>

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">And oh my, the polisher glam shot -- I've been reduced to a quivering blob of jelly! ;P</span>
<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">I agree with Hans, Tania is a wonderful, sweet, kind person.</span>

Well
Even though she wouldn't part with the 60 (she bravely left it here until we go to St. Louis in a few weeks) I took the Electrolux lady out to dinner at one of our favorite places - St. Charles Place here in St. Charles. Here she is all dolled up and ready to go in a Bob Mackie outfit. She wanted to make sure that Helen Lawson saw that she was wearing the jewelry we gave her as a gift. Hans and Charles, you are right. She is one of the sweetest persons on the face of the earth. Always a pleasure (and an adventure) to spend time with her. When she is here, it always gives me a new appreciation of vacuums and good friends.

BTW
If you want to experience something unreal, do what we did last night after dinner. Serve Tania Bailey's and watch "Imitation Of Life" with Lana Turner on the Sony Bravia 52" screen from Netflix. Truly a memorable experience totally narrated by Tania.
