Friday evening. The weekend is upon us. I will get a precious few minutes alone to wander through the shops on the way to get my hair cut and I’m bracing myself.\u00a0Not bracing\u00a0myself so much but giving myself a stern talking to. I am firmly telling myself that I will not buy dungarees or a pinafore.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We live in body positive times and no matter what your size you can find that thing that tickles your fancy but sometimes that fancy should remain untickled.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The last time I wore dungarees was 1991 on a school trip to Southport fun fair. I wore an acid yellow t-shirt, a stonewash denim dungaree dress and pink LA Gear hi-tops. I went on the waltzers and then threw up all over David O’Brien. Poor OB. He still fancied me though.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’m not pining for the teenage fun of the fair but I would like to be the no-nonsense, brisk, yet fun loving woman who wears dungarees, instead of looking like an interestingly shaped bouncy ball with boobs, wedged in denim. Alas, it is not to be. I shall instead dream of being the woman in the Toast apron<\/a>\u00a0who makes marmalade and writes feminist one woman shows that she takes to the Fringe each year. She gardens and wears clogs and once ran away to Belgium to escape a hideous break up. Oh darling imaginary lady, I shall never be you but I love you with all my heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Friday evening. The weekend is upon us.
