If you fancy an escapist read then you may enjoy my book which will transport you back to the Chelsea in – then the epicentre for and unlikely friendships. Where it’s now cool for posh privileged girls to mix outside their social circles.
.
When two such teenagers meet and form a close and sisterly bond, their worlds are unexpectedly and suddenly torn apart as they each suffer personal traumas. Needing to escape London to hide their shameful secrets, they embark upon individual rollercoaster journeys of extreme highs and lows that take them to and the – where are sex is a commodity drugs are a way of life and a life optional.
.
“Would you tell your best friend your darkest secret of it could change your life?”
.
If you enjoy it – please do let me know and I would be even more thrilled if you can also then spread the word.

The thing that really stood out to me was how different the fabrics were that we wore then to now.
Much more rigid and flexible and quite bulky.

These video clips include:
The Daisy dress up doll ( I remember I had one of the cut out and paste books of these as a child.)!
1960s sportswear Quant style
The mini Quant wore to collect her OBE
The jersey dress ( the first time stretchy jersey had been used as a clothing fabric)
The Quant collection of everything from tights to sunglasses to makeup
The cape
Dresses with matching frilly pants
The journey of the mini from knee to very short.

The Mary Quant retrospective at the V&A museum.
The first of 2 posts of 10 video clips and photos.
Such an iconic designer that not only created fashion history in the 1960’s but changed how girls dressed-no longer like their mothers.
Fashion was suddenly fun.
Quant personified swinging London and the Kings Road Chelsea .

Then with Shannon onto the best panto ever! – Sleeping Beauty @thelondonpalladium . This is an absolutely must-see panto with Julian Clary, Dawn French, Nigel Havers, Flavia and Vincent from Strictly, Paul Zerdin ventriloquist and the campest most lavish most extravagant over the top costumes you have ever seen!
Julian Clary doesn’t have a single line that doesn’t have a double meaning and Dawn French is brilliant as the wicked witch.
This is the 3rd year if the Panto at the Palladium and this is the biggest and best yet!
Fab-u- lous!!!
