Are the Eighties back?

[Loverofquiet]

I have just accidentally turned on a 'fashion' programme, QVC at 5 pm. I was reaching for the button to change over from Claire and her iccky voice, when I was struck with recognition. She was wearing a blue bat winged jumper with thick elastic band around the thighs. To my horror I recognised a style from the late 1980s. I have the grisly photos to prove it. Fortunately I ditched all my clothes in that design when I realised that the thigh band caused my tummy to hang over as if I were in an advanced stage of pregnancy. Numerous other women must have done the same.

How in the name of all that is holy, has this style resurfaced as QVC fashion???

Well the guest has just told us to wear the items to a pool party so I think that tells you how in touch they are with your average Q viewer.
Maybe the balloon shape is for ballast?

I knew it was Dallas all over again.

I seriously don't know how they keep a staight face when they call their clothes "fashion" I must've missed the Dolce and Gabanna line, or Oscar de la Renta. Instead all I see is polyester and outragiously priced clothes from "designers" I've never heard of, as for Claire and her flirting, rudeness with interupting,.calling her mum "mummy" and childish voice, just can't stand the silly woman. I also find it funny that whatever colour or style they're showing at the time is "bang on trend"..............the runways must be bulging.

And to add insult to injury, I had an email earlier saying they`re doing a collaboration with Lulu Guinness to bring us eek lips, handbags and lipsticks on a chain to wear over our 1980`s jumpers. Such tasteless jewellery delights were sold on my local market way back when.
Before we know it they`ll be selling perming lotion and twinkie rollers !

What else can you expect from the Americans - they've always been light years behind the times, and don't realise we've reached the 21st Century. In some states they still sport Dolly Parton hairstyles (we've yet to get the wigs) !!

Oh good grief! Better go and get me leg warmers on!

We have pool parties up here - the back room at the local working mans club has a half-size billiards table. I'd better order that top and go along on Fri evening.

Perhaps Chloë will do a turn singing in a supermarket carpark, à la Tiffany

NO NO NO (and I don't mean that bleeding hair removal)
