50′s
August 31, 2010 –Sometimes you feel that fashion is not for you. I am very glad I didnt live during the 1920′s – all that strapping down of the boobies. Mine would have gasped for air and sprung forth like a pair of exuberant puppies; and the flappers would have flapped. My twins, bless. Recently, actually for quite some time now, its all been about the waif look, Kate Moss – boyish figures, that kind of thing. As a consequence, I have always found it difficult to find clothes to suit my shape, which I love and would never change for a stick thin body.
But dear reader, I learn of a new fashion fix for this coming season, back to the fifties. Well you know what that means dont you? Hour glass figures, pencil skirts et al. Not, I hasten to add, old style teddy boy quiffs and ladies who have lived in big skirts, ankle socks and greased back pony tails for the last 50 years – yes we have all seen them. No we are channelling Kelly and Mansfield, Hayworth and dare I say it Monroe! – the most beautiful woman who ever lived. I am so excited I think I may well have to go on a shopping spree :)
I will be in fashion for once, horray!
