Christian Dior McKimbrey. Everbody said he was a flashy dresser.<br /><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/6/3001/640/dior.jpg"><br />Which was a compliment in them days.<br /><br />C.D., as they called him, come up with the idea of embroidering his name on the butt side of britches, but it never really caught on. He also introduced a product called "butch wax", but folks seemed to prefer something called Macassar oil for their hair.<br /><br />Finally, in desperation, he invented a little crocheted doily to put on your chair to protect it from the hair oil. He wanted to call it "the McKimbrey Doily", but folks taken to calling it the "anti-macassar." Funny how things turns out, ain't it?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21679293-114066138412716146?l=twistedgeneology.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fambly manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14001724292125443951noreply@blogger.com1
