Letterman.....

"Hey you guuuuuuuuys!"

One of the little trends that seem to have popped up this year is the classic old Varsity 'Letterman' jacket.  Bringing to mind american college, 'jocks', and all those old shows I used to love as a youngster:  Happy Days (where I have a sneaking suspicion even the Fonz donned one once), Grease, Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop, Michael J Fox in Teen Wolf, and the list goes on!

Aaaaahhhhhhhh, the memories*!

Oh, and of course how could I forget - The Electric Company:  "Faster than a rolling "O", stronger than silent "E", able to leap capital "T" in a single bound!  It's a word.  It's a plan.  It's LETTERMAN!"

xxo

* It's not all nostalgia of course.  If you're looking for more up-to-date letterman-lovers then you're quite spoilt for choice, with fans such as Gossip Girls Vanessa Abrahms (Jessica Szohr), or even Lady Gaga, who of course put her own spiky style-spin on this iconic jacket.

They're here........

Great news for Wellington!

How to be your Super-self.....

The annual Armageddon Expo rolled into town recently, giving fanboys, geek-girls, (and my nephew), agreat day out*.  The timing was somewhat ironic too, as I have recently rediscovered something of a passion for 'Wonder Woman'!

Yes, Wonder Woman....you remember her, don't you?  The femme fatale of superheroes, that goddess in red white and blue, the 'X' chromosome to Superman's 'Y'.  With her boomerang headwear and bullet foiling bracelets, she gave young girls like myself something to live up to, (and young boys something to live for)!

But she shared more than her super powers with stars such as Superman - they also shared an incredible  knowledge of what a change of clothes can achieve!  Indeed, if you were looking for evidence of the transformative power of clothing you need look no further than Wonder Woman......   Depending on her clothing choices she was either a meek and mild "everywoman" or a Superhero with crime-stopping powers!  Not only that, but she could render herself virtually unrecognizable with each whirlwind wardrobe visit!!

So there you have it - dress this way and you are just an average soul,  but dress this way** and there will be little that can stand in your way!

*  (Not such a great day out for the wallet!)

**NB:  You should probably be aware, this will likely entail wearing something super-short and super-tight!  Oh, and you better hope that you suit the colours red, white, and blue!
