Why would anyone wear............

One item of leather clothing is enough [less is more!] As for the 'granny perm' that went out by 1980

hebrideanlady I admire you for that!

I just mentioned it because I liked it and it brought memories back

I don't object to people wearing leather but I was by someone wearing so much, non matching, leather and a very 'ordinary' hair style.

No aspersions intended by my comment, just thinking last time I saw that much leather, the wearer was standing in a field.

I had a red leather trouser suit, I loved it and didn't give a dam if It looked "tarty"

I'd expect leather trousers to creak when the wearer sat down.

I had a living-in girlfriend who bought a pink leather suit, that came with skirt and trousers... she liked pink...

Is it me or do leather strides just look sweaty?

No kitty; knowing my familyI bet it was something to do with enginering!

We had a WILT (woman in leather trousers) in the office, one of the directors. My colleagues (especially the younger ones) would flinch and fall about when she'd tell us that they were a secondhand find on e-bay ... [eek emoticon]. She even had a red pair.

No, Tegan we went to the Alexandra first having parked at the Albany. It cost us £4 for 5 minutes and then £9 at Brindley Place. Lovely car park just a tad expensive!!

Was your cousin a lecturer at the Dental School - I'll ask DH.

kitty; he didn't know a lecturer called Stanley Taylor did he? He was my cousin. Bet you went to the Hippodrome first. Thats where we're going; it's next to the back to backs so we're hoping to see them if we get there early enough. I can't believe I used to drive round Birmingham; even the thought of it now brings me out in a cold sweat .

He is very nice.

Yep jingle. Martin Shaw was brilliant but we weren't too impressed with the production, it was a bit shouty! We last saw 12 Angry Men at the Fringe about 5 years ago and thought it was much better.

Tegan - not sure about Queensway - we went to the wrong theatre to begin with - DH apparently knows Brum like the back of his hand - he went to University there - 50 years ago.

..just googled it; sounds as if it's open again..

Oh; kitty. What are the roads like in Birmingham? Is Queensway still closed?? We're going to the Hippodrome tomorrow.

What did you see kitty? Was it the Martin Shaw thing?

I know nothing about her personality'

A cow perhaps?

Never me!!!!!!!

At Birmingham Rep, last night! It wasn't biker wear but looked like a selection of all the leather bits she had in her wardrobe.

She also had what my DDs call a granny perm. [thlconfused}

Go on, kitty, it was you, wasn't it?

Had she just got off of a motorbike? Helmet under arm?

On a man a bit yuck. On a woman rather dashing in an androgynous sort of way.

If the wearer was happy in it, does anything else matter?
