Baby It's Cold Outside by lesip

Baby It's Cold Outside

Watching the news Monday they had a little story about people in Minnesota freezing their jeans and placing them around town. How cool is that and I've got to try it. Although my first attempt wasn't what I had envisioned, you work with what you got. I believe using the spin cycle of a front loading washer just doesn't leave the jeans wet enough. That problem is now solved. Stay tuned Mom will come play soon......
These are a pair of Bobby's oshgoshs bibs that he and his brother wore when they were one. Be still my heart. Maybe one day a grandchild will fill these pants.....
So clever and cute!

Hahaha! I love it. I just heard about this on the radio last night, too. Very cool and fun. I'll have to ask my daughter if she's seen this on campus. She's going to school in MN.

you are a funny, funny woman, les. but a granchild is the sweetest thing ever, even when you have five and all are calling for your attention. well, that's a warning. :-) this is awesome. if i wasn't 'transient' i'd be doing this, too, along with other wintry photographic stunts i've been wanting to do.

This is the best photo I have seen tonight! It made me smile from ear to ear! fav

This is so fun and creative, and so you! BTW, I've been meaning to tell you that I like your new profile picture too!

@cejaanderson thanks ... I went to JCPenneys for a new selfie shot ...LOL I'm in the dressing room trying on furry hood coats and taking selfie pics with my phone.... went back today and bought this red coat and another
one that's evergreen color knee length to wear when nature photographing. 80% off too good to pass up.

You must have been frozen working with wet jeans in the snow.
January 21st, 2016  
What a great idea. Love it. fav.
I remember washing freezing on the clothes line when I lived in the UK. Glad I don't have to deal with it now though.
January 21st, 2016  
That's kind creepy in a really cool way
January 21st, 2016  
@tunia I hung them outside last night so they were frozen and it wasn't all that cold this morning. That was one of the problems ...
January 21st, 2016  
haha... so fun! very cool!
January 21st, 2016  
Aww! It does tug at my heart a bit! Clever idea! I wonder of they would be as cute in my neck of the woods where there is no snow as a backdrop? Looking forward to the next one!
January 21st, 2016  
Very cool!
January 22nd, 2016  
Really fun idea, and a nice capture! I think I would have preferred the image without the text, but that's just me.
January 22nd, 2016  
Ha! That's brilliant!
January 22nd, 2016  
So cool. You almost make me want it to be that cold here.
January 22nd, 2016  
So fun and creative.
January 22nd, 2016  
Novel idea
January 22nd, 2016  
Looks a bit eerie but really creative
January 22nd, 2016  
very creative
January 22nd, 2016  
Ahhhhhhhhhhhahahahahaha!! You have ghost jeans!! My jeans want to stay right here and stay warm thank you!! LOL Very clever idea!!! FAV!
January 22nd, 2016  
Wonderfully creative and tugs at my mommy heartstrings. :)
January 22nd, 2016  
I love it!!!! So clever and fun! Doesn't look like much snow has arrived yet!
January 22nd, 2016  
LOL Too funny.
January 22nd, 2016  
Haha!
January 22nd, 2016  
Love it. I may have to do something like this since we will be hunkering down due to the anticipated 24 inches of snow here in Northern VA over the next two days.
January 22nd, 2016  
@taffy this dusting happened Wednesday around 6pm and crippled the area roads. People spent hours going from one traffic light to the next. They had not treated the roads and there were 100's of accidents. Snow starts here around 2pm. They are stopping the buses in DC at 5pm and the metro is closing at 11pm . Both will not start back up till Monday. Most of the airline have canceled their late afternoon and evening flights. Hope you got them to give you your points back. You made the right decision not to come.
January 22nd, 2016  
Completely cool! Fav!
January 22nd, 2016  
Fun shot, fabulous idea
January 22nd, 2016  
Lol..cute shot! Fav!. Yes, its that cold here in MN
January 22nd, 2016  
oh wow. fantastic idea, I should try this :)
January 22nd, 2016  
Fantasic idea, looks fun
January 22nd, 2016  
@lesip I got word this morning that our flight had been cancelled, and my points were reinstated this afternoon so all is good. We didn't need to be 2 more people stressing the system during this storm! I hope you are fine, keep your heat and electricity, and that all is back to normal by Monday. We're planning on rescheduling -- maybe in spring!
January 22nd, 2016  
@taffy springs a wonderful time ....
January 22nd, 2016  
Perfect!
January 22nd, 2016  
I apologize for stealing your title on my Jan. 22nd photo. I didn't realize I was doing it until I started looking at the people I'm following. No wonder it popped into my head so easily.
January 22nd, 2016  
@tunia you are funny .... it's not like it's original ....lol
January 22nd, 2016  
Wow! I've never seen anybody do this before! I thought it was processed as first. So very cool!!!
January 23rd, 2016  
fav..lol
January 23rd, 2016  
I love this too! How did you prop them up until they froze?
January 23rd, 2016  
congratulations on the Pp!
January 23rd, 2016  
@bella_ss hung them on hangers off my deck.
January 23rd, 2016  
@lesip They really are awesome... the things people think of!!
January 23rd, 2016  
This is such fun! Which is heard of this when I was at the cottage earlier this week... Don't think it's cold enough in town
January 23rd, 2016  
Found this slightly spooky....very clever!
January 23rd, 2016

January 23rd, 2016  
So cute
January 23rd, 2016
