I RECENTLY SAW some photos from Gucci's spring/summer fashion line. I was reminded that if you're rich and crazy, you're called "eccentric"; if you're poor and crazy, you're called "crazy."
I don't think any of these Fuengirola fashion mavens are wearing the major designers. But, if they were, they'd be called "fabulous." Absolutely Fabulous.
HACE POCO VI algunas fotos de la línea de moda primavera/verano de Gucci. Me recordaron que si es rico y loco, se llaman "excéntrico"; si es pobre y loco, se llaman "loco".
No creo que ninguno de estas fashionistas de Fuengirola lleve a los grandes diseñadores. Pero, si lo fueran, serían llamados "fabulosos". Absolutamente Fabuloso.
Del series "Absolutely Fabulous"...
En disgusto, Patsy dice: ¿Qué llevas puesto Eddie?
Eddie respuesta: "Es Lacroix."
Patsy: "Es fabuloso."

| IT'S NOT FUENGIROLA. IT'S GUCCI. SO THAT MUST MAKE IT FABULOUS. NO ES FUENGIROLA. ES GUCCI. ASÍ QUE ESE DEBE HACERLO FABULOSO. |

ReplyDeleteAnne Marie,
DeleteBut just add a designer label and voila!
Made me think of a poem we sometimes see in aging circles:
ReplyDeleteWhen I am old I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
Jenny Joseph
Travel,
DeleteI have always loved this poem!
Is that last one beach wear for Siberia?
ReplyDeleteFrank,
DeleteDo you believe that?!?
Who knew bad taste was in and fashion sense was out?
ReplyDeleteBob,
DeleteWell, probably shouldn’t be a surprise to us.
So much to say, so little space! The shoes make that first outfit! I blame hippies! I'm in no sense a fashionista, more of a Walmartian (they carry my sizes). I go for Roaman's plus size chic-ish. All that being said, Gucci is pukey!
ReplyDeleteHave a simply glorious weekend my darlings!
Deedles,
DeleteI wonder if that first thing is supposed to be a beach dress with a bare midriff and she simply pulled it down to expose her boobs.
Don't look to me to explains this. This fashion misses are out of my jurisdiction kid.
ReplyDeleteMaddie,
DeleteOh, do you think these are fashion misses?
That final photo is making my eyes burn.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteNice fabrics though.
I'm thinking that those big bundles of clothes that are rejects from the thrift shops in the U.S. have been discovered in your area!
ReplyDeleteSillygirl,
DeleteAnd we have our own big bundles here, too.
My my my! Would some of those wonderful patterned shorts and shirts be in there????
DeleteSillygirl,
DeleteNot In the bundles WE deliver... usually.
You find the strangest folks. Is there a Spanish Walmart nearby?
ReplyDeleteAdam,
DeleteWe have what are called Chinese shops. Usually owned by Chinese immigrants or expats and stocked with lots of made In China at cheap prices. But no Gucci.
I like the first one, except for the shoes. I've always been partial to crazy, much more so than moneyed fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWilma,
DeleteI wonder how f that first one is a dress with bare midriff that she pulled down to her waist. I used to love moneyed fabulous. Now I see how absurd it is.
Speaking os AB FAB and the correlation of money to 'fashion'. I remember a scene where Patsy asked Eddie had she gone mad spending she much money on trashy art. Eddie assures her she spend a lot. Patsy says "Oh in that case it's fabulous".
ReplyDeleteSpo,
DeleteThat show was matchless.
After watching the AbFab clip, I watched the Graham Norton interview snippet about how "Patsy" came to be.... just had me chuckling out loud.
ReplyDeleteJudy,
DeleteThat Interview was as good as expected, wasn’t it?
