Ghastly thought in these enlightened times but perhaps worthy of consideration?<BR/><BR/>As for the "glamour" magazines who specify (to women far more than to men) that a specific "look" is "in" - this is utterly, utterly pitiful, and this applies both ways. It's pitiful that fashionista journalists of all colours should subscribe to such a view and equally pitiful that people should be coerced to spend money by the fourth estate to be told that they are unfashionale, unsexy, unhip, uncool. How appalling!<BR/><BR/>The prospect of having an ideal partner is someone who's a friend first and foremost - and so much of a friend that they have no objection to my sartorial (in)elegance and I believe that they look good in whatever they choose to wear.Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509695287654343035noreply@blogger.com
