Today I broke in my brand new superfuckingcute coat. You will gasp, I know, but it is pink, with huge buttons, and in the SWING style that is so popular now. I luuurrve it. When I put my hair up in a clip and wear this coat, I look like Audrey Hepburn (except of course that I am not a twig)!!!
On my way to an appointment tonight, I had to switch buses. As I was getting off to make the change, a series of people surged forward to get on and I had to sort of fight through them. As I was making my way down the bus stairs, an old, rather disheveled man beamed at me and said:
"Hello, big girl."
I swear you cannot make this shit up.
I guess he could have said "Hello, pink girl," or "Hello, big pink," but I really don't think so. I think he said "Hello, big girl."
I should have said "Hello, big hobo! Happy LENT!"
Hi :) I found you via lola is beauty. Nice blog! Your coat sounds fabulous - I wish I had just one item of clothing that makes me look (or even just feel) like Audrey Hepburn!
Also, you went to Exeter university! My mum has worked in the library there for the past 15 years! small world.. x
