Annette is a bad influence on me. Here’s a recent conversation had over dinner while watching Project Catwalk, a show about aspiring fashion designers.
Annette: What do you think of that outfit?
JSR: Well, the fabric is fantastic, and those little pleats and details over the hips are great. The whole design seems quite contemporary, while retaining classic styling cues. It’s great that they’ve managed to retain the leitmotifs that run throughout the rest of their collection, too.
Annette: Yep, agreed.
[Short Pause]
JSR: Uh .. that is to say ‘Fucking hell woman, I don’t know. One frock is like another. Cos I am a MAN!’ .. I’m going to go drink a beer.
Bad bad influence. I won’t even talk about my knowledge of, and time spent watching, the movie genre “Plain Girl turns into/out to be a Special Princess”.
