It's Gucci, Darling / Es Gucci, Cariño

La versión español está después de la primera foto.

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.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
NO ESTOY SEGURO DE LO QUE ESTÁ PASANDO AQUÍ.

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.





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


Del series "Absolutely Fabulous"...
En disgusto, Patsy dice: ¿Qué llevas puesto Eddie? 
Eddie respuesta: "Es Lacroix."
Patsy: "Es fabuloso."

  2. Made me think of a poem we sometimes see in aging circles:

    When 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.

  5. 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!
    Have a simply glorious weekend my darlings!

      I 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.

      We 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.

  10. I like the first one, except for the shoes. I've always been partial to crazy, much more so than moneyed fabulous.

      I 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.

  11. 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".

  12. After watching the AbFab clip, I watched the Graham Norton interview snippet about how "Patsy" came to be.... just had me chuckling out loud.
