Fashion


Teeny, tiny, little leather jackets,
Teeny, tiny, red pumps,
Teeny, tiny, little pairs of jeans,
Fucking huge scarves.

It's really cold in London this week, barely over -5C (about 20F, Americans), but clothes haven't changed much. Well, the scarves have got bigger, exponentially. Each drop in degree adds about 6 or 7 inches of neck knitwear.

Twisted round and round and round, on top of tiny little jackets.

I think people have been watching too many Loony Toons. They have watched Bugs Bunny skating on ice, turning Elmer Fudd into a snowman, merely wearing a scarf and people have assumed that Bugs is a decent barometer of winter wear. 'Oooh it looks chilly, what would a cartoon rabbit wear?'

London, Bugs Bunny should not define winter wear. Put on a big coat, some gloves and maybe a hat. And blow your fucking nose. There is nothing more unattractive than a sad-looking sniffer, girls.
