she's in fashion


these shirts are the business here. i don't notice them much anymore, but i remember initially being amazed at how many highlanders - male and female - wore them. felt a bit odd, actually, not having even one in my wardrobe. this is a shot taken down at the back of the markets; away from the food there's this secondhand section. you see every label imaginable (see red and green - and "tv week"? i was thinking about this photo today at lunch when a guy strutted by wearing one. god knows when it was made - i bet they couldn't even give it away in australia. hence a truckload came here. someone asked me a few weeks ago if it was ok to get a shirt with "coles" embroidered on the front. i couldn't lie. and the thing wasn't even cheap!)

(i did buy a shirt at some stage. plain, red. wore it twice but ... didn't really work as a disguise. now i just wear what i want. which means: no meri blouse.)
