My shoulder was aching at work today and I asked a member of staff if she
could rub it for me.
This she kindly did with some banter talk about her regular ...

Haha, that's funny.
ReplyDeleteSadly, it's absolutely true too. I think it looks better on the two grannies!
DeleteThe two grannies look like they could tell you more about life than the model. I agree, I prefer the reality of the clothes on them.
ReplyDeleteYou can always tell when well known designers (YSL) have run out of ideas.
DeleteToo slim or not two slim that is the question.
ReplyDeleteThe grannies saved themselves nearly three grand. And helped the environment to boot.
DeleteAnd the dresses will be passed on to the next generation of grannies too.
DeleteA good bit more of fabric in the €11.50 frocks too.
ReplyDeleteFrugl grannies; like most grannies.
DeleteMy sppeling nevar woz good.
DeleteThat is hilarious. Love the stern expressions or are they attempts at smiles!
ReplyDeleteI think they were worried that their 'souls' were being stolen.
DeleteI prefer the waistcoats.
ReplyDeleteKeep watching YSL's catwalk.... next year maybe.
Deletehahahah, absolutely brilliant Cro!
ReplyDeleteGrannies lead the fashion front.
DeleteI may have had a dress like that in the 60's. Glad there are no pictures. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteThere's a hint of Laura Ashley in them.
DeleteIn the winter, I wore it with a full length fur coat(my grandmother's). I'd be stoned these days. I was warm though.
DeleteThe model needs a babushka to complete the look.
ReplyDeleteI bet she felt stupid, even if it was by YSL.
DeleteIn Fashion (as with so much else) there is nothing new under the sun.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is the proof!
DeleteEvery picture tells a story - or in this case two pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe world of fashion is often bizarre.
DeleteHaha 🤣...... I think fashion takes the piss a lot of the time .... most of us ( me included ) are taken for a ride at one time or another ! I do like a bit of fashion but on my terms. XXXX
ReplyDeleteI've seen some absolute horrors recently, but I don't suppose they were designed to be worn; just attract attention.
DeleteVery Laura Ashley and now very tired looking. Come to think of it, I probably looked ridiculous in my Laura Ashleys back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI thought LA was very chic when she first started, but it soon became tiresome. I think I had some of her wallpaper.
DeleteI've found the great "designs" by the great designers rather disappointing these last several years.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing 'new' to be designed; better if they simply concentrated on 'attractiveness', and forget innovation.
DeleteYes, my favorite saying: there is nothing new under the sun.
DeleteToo funny! There is also this whole "Lagenlook" thing that is so popular now, just a bunch of shapeless linen mumus all layered over each other. Wouldn't you know it, all the loose granny stuff gets popular again AFTER I lose fifty pounds.
ReplyDelete40 years ago those two grannies could be found everywhere here, now you don't see any.
DeleteYou see a few of them around here in France but I don't think they can wear the headscarfs.
DeleteThere are grannies in all our backgrounds, God bless them! Where would WE be without them. Sad we've forgotten to follow their examples.
