Girls were finally allowed to wear grey cords at my school in winter when I was 15. I have never worn a skirt in winter since.

Good, cos this leotard's already chaffing!

I'm gonna have to apply vaseline

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 24/08/2018 19:36

I just said "multicoloured, fish scale patterned leotard on a man" to DD, she said "oh god." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ive just been to the circus - it was like stepping back in time to the 70's (not in a good way!). Very similar feel to the wrestling that Thorn posted. Weird.

I quite fancy the Wonder Wonan theme tune .

Shampaincharly · 24/08/2018 20:21

Woman!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 24/08/2018 20:27

You are welcome PSB
I thought of models and symmetry.

MamaLurve · 24/08/2018 22:18

Sham I've not googled, but does it not just go

"Wonder Woman! Wonder Woman" ?

Actually, typing it, I can see why it would be your theme tune.

donniemurdo · 24/08/2018 22:44

Mama - your wish is my command

donniemurdo · 24/08/2018 22:46

And

There are more lyrics than one remembers

donniemurdo · 24/08/2018 22:58

I shall be entering the ring to the Super Gran theme tune

TornFromTheInside · 25/08/2018 00:05

I will not be entering anybody's ring!

I'll already on the ropes.

TattyFrench · 25/08/2018 00:27

Wonder Woman never really took off did she? She needs to hook her basque up a touch, how on Earth didn't she fall out of it while she was saving the world? Wouldn't jeans and a jumper be more practical? Would that be lacking in intending?

TattyFrench · 25/08/2018 00:28

Torn was that a double double entendre?

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 00:38

The difference between the Bionic Woman (1970s) running in her opening shot flat chestedly and Wonder Woman 1980s (Theme song "fighting for your rights, in your satin tights"

Feminism in action right there!

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 00:39

donniemurdo have forgotten your AKA.

Fabulous theme tune!!!!

TornFromTheInside · 25/08/2018 00:51

Did someone ask for a double entendre? well I'm not giving her one!

TornFromTheInside · 25/08/2018 00:53

I'm losing track of who's who - all the name changing

Shampaincharly · 25/08/2018 07:57

Thanks DM . Perfect ! Tatty I think I would need more coverage than Linda Carter has to keep every thing in . I could introduce the Bust thruster move .

Shampaincharly · 25/08/2018 07:59

DM Supergran even has tartan . Sorted.

KeepServingTheDrinks · 25/08/2018 09:02

So, last night I asked DH what hypothetical leotard he'd wear to watch the wrestling.
He said "I'm not watching the wrestling and you're not getting me in a leotard".
I said "We ARE watching the wrestling, now describe your leotard". So after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, he said "A mankini like Borat wore, and in the same colour" (which is an unfortunate clash with mine, but heigh ho... I think we'll be ok).
Now, I love DH very much, and I think he looks great. But even with my biased eyes, I'm thinking he can't really carry off a mankini. But, if that's what he wants to wear, I'll support his choices.

Shampaincharly · 25/08/2018 10:01

I am sure he will have plenty of support Grin
I see you have ditched your stage name MAMA . It is better to keep it compartmentalised.

donniemurdo · 25/08/2018 10:23

Mama my aka is ..... (draws self up to my whole 4ft 11.5inches and pushes out chest, which quite frankly is proving difficult as leotard has turned out to be a bit on the tight side)

The Tartan Terror

quake in yer boots all ye who dare enter the ring of the Tartan Terror (fnar, fnar)

I'm impressed by your supporting role there Keep aka Mama. I'm sure your DH is greatly appreciative. Do you mind if the rest of us avert our eyes though? If asked we'll say it is because of the clash in colours

Claw001 · 25/08/2018 11:52

Leotards are bringing back bad memories from childhood. As a child I attended a ballet/gymnastics/tap dancing club. For the part of the tap exam, mums had to make black skirts, with some trim added, worn over leotard.

My mums effort was terrible, fell apart and down as I tapped Grin when the red, red robin goes bop bop bopping along indeed!

Please don’t make me wear one!

KeepServingTheDrinks · 25/08/2018 12:06

I'll change names for the wrestling. What time's it on?

Sorry, Tarten, I won't forget again.
Do you mind if the rest of us avert our eyes though? Probably best. I will be.

Poor Claw. We feel your pain. Of course you don't have to wear one. - have you considered a cape?
