lol@ that description vers!

VersdeSociete · 30/07/2008 20:57

That wasn't me, HC,that was was some filthy woman who looks a bit like me and allows her 2-year-old to destroy the peace of sour-faced women in pizza restaurants, then spends £4000000 on cab rides.
I feel quite judgey about women like that.

VersdeSociete · 30/07/2008 21:01

Sadly accurate bundle, sigh...
I must do work rather than online shopping or will lose case

Meheheh. Can I recommend the Stratford shopping centre for anyone out East who is especially bored in the hols? Large Wooolies, er Peacocks, er MaccyDs. Amazing people-watching although some of it is local teens being searched by the police. Also sniffer dogs at the tube...

hoxtonchick · 30/07/2008 21:28

it will all be OVER soon. and then you can come & hang out at the lido with us.

my denim bell sleeve dress just arrived and it is absolutely fabulous. Sort japanesey and v simple.

hoxtonchick · 02/08/2008 11:34

hooray!

Gobbledigook · 02/08/2008 11:48

Yuk, it's like workhouse wear. It's all shapeless and baggy and hugely unflattering.

Vile.

onebatmother · 02/08/2008 12:17

Act-u-ally it is freakishly flattering - it's really well-cut 'shapeless', in a way that implies that, underneath, I am ravishing.
