No no, no and no again!















  1. Spot on, Mrs T! Those 'fashions' are sooooo gross. Actually, this crazy 'death-warmed-up-meets-mad-furrier' look was probably inspired by the boys' pyjamas in Peacocks a few months ago. They had skeletons on and looked more like a Hallowe'en costume. In June?? Just 'why?'

    PS Watch out for thigh-high leather boots, too. Coming soon, I believe. You have to laugh.

  2. So that's where these designers got that look from Mrs B? A roll back to toddlerhood where little boys wore skeleton pyjamas and mummy's lingerie? Hmm, looks like the only thing that's missing is the bra then. I look forward to the winter 2010 collection....

    Thigh High boots eh? Why just in time for the panto season! I shall order some immediately for some jolly thigh slapping fun. 'Course it will be interesting to try and get them over my thighs and even more interesting trying to walk in them - but then who cares it's fashion darling fashion!!

  3. Oh, quick, pass the Bolly dah-ling! Did I tell you I'm working on my Spring collection already? I was inspired by Barbara Cartland, zebras and PE kits ...

  4. Fair call, Mrs T. The pics left me reaching for a bucket too, but the name 'mantyhose' got my mind racing. We've had 'mankini' (a thousand yuks!) and now we get 'mantyhose' - I've been trying to work out the next line in the hope that I can patent the word, the idea or the actual garment. The best I could come up with is 'manbra'. With current trends in obesity, these might actually be modelled in 2010.

  5. Mrs B,

    That sounds like an inspiring collection that I will be dashing out to get as soon as possible. The mere thought of a pink bouffant skirt (with sequins) combined with a fake zebra striped top complimented by the hockey boots and the gold plated Gym bag sounds just up my street. I can't wait, I am going to look so stylish at the school gates!

    Where can I get those fake eyelashes from though? Do they sell them at Tescos?

  6. A thousand, thousand yucks indeed PB when I think of Borat's mankini. A more vile and wretched piece of clothing has never been seen upon this earth. The only saving grace is that Liberace had passed on before the item became fashionable.

    A manbra? Yes, I can see these being pretty popularity within a short space of time. I look forward to seeing which celebrity will be offered the modelling contract. I think someone like the lovely late John Candy would have got away with it - but now I'm thinking more John Prescott/Arthur Scargill type image is more appropriate. What say you??

  7. Mrs T how about we work together on a collection for men called Big Girl's Blouse?

  8. Ha, ha, ha Mrs A, a most amusing remark! I can see a collection called Big Girl's Blouse being an absolute winner! A more appropriate title could not be found!

    (Ps - This new tennis centre has a proper resturant and a broadband connection - I shall be able to start designing in comfort!Hoorah!)

  9. I'm almost afraid to ask what are 'mantyhose'?

  10. Mantyhose? Surely you jest!

    P.S. My capture word? "effen"

  11. "Big Girl's Blouse" - great tag for a label of this sort. I think we're on a winner.

  12. G,

    I know it's a hard concept to grasp for any normal fella but Mantyhose is actually tights. Yes tights aka like men wore 200 years ago in Regency England! From a women's point of view it's a fashion we don't want to see ever, ever again! I think the name is a derivative from Pantyhose - a word that ladies used to use to refer to tights but is no longer popular.

    Lawyer Mom,

    Regrettably Lawyer Mom I do not jest! Although I will be jesting at any man I see wearing them:)


    Yes indeed. Mrs A has come up trumps with that tag.I think The Big Girl's Blouse collection will go from strength to strength. I am postively inspired!


I am always delighted to receive comments!
