I’m Sorry Mrs Scully

Way, way back in the 70’s I was at school in Australia.  My best friend then is still my very best friend today.  We used to laugh so much about our PE teacher, Mrs Scully, and I realised that we still do but now it is with great fondness.  She was all the best bits of Miss Jean Brodie, none of the worst.  She taught us that “horses sweat, men perspire but ladies GLOW”.  She had us dancing and batton twirling but we really knew that she was truly crazy when she was teaching us facial exercises.  Yes, it’s true.  We had whole lessons devoted to the facial workout way back in 1979!

I’m not laughing anymore, I’m weeping at every lovely but expensive and avoidable CACI session I’ve paid for.  Now I’ve started to do the Eva Fraser facial workout program just wishing I’d listened all those years ago, but grateful to have another chance.  Mrs Scully, 1970’s PE teacher of Nagle Girls High School NSW, I’m sorry I didn’t appreciate you.  You are terrific!

Mission Progress

The team have really pulled out the stops to conquer the shoe and clothing care mission.  There is much calling for samples and testing going on.  The first success was presented to me as a definate treat, a real peice of candy.

I have been introduced to Heel Candy.  Little stoppers to slip onto your heels and “stop that sinking feeling” particularly suitable for a summer filled with outdoor events.  I confess I haven’t tried them outdoors yet, I’m still waiting for summer, but I have tried them indoors.  My most gorgeous friend N, lives in a truly beautiful home with  exquisite original wooden floors.  I was delighted to be able to visit her in my most loved stiletto’s and be able to keep my shoes on.  There was no damage to said floors and as an added bonus, no footstep noise.

Watch out for these, we’ve ordered them in from Australia so we have a few days to wait.  It’s another UK first for you, from us, at Everything Under The Dress.  We’re sure you’ll love them!

A Fatal Shade of Grey

My dear friend D said the magical and fateful words “your laundry is soooo white!” and hey, abracadabra, within 24hrs I’d had my first laundry disaster for years.  Somehow, by some mystery force, my little laundry bag holding a selection of my favourite white lingerie, found it’s way into the machine with school uniforms and grubby games kit and a pair of  jeans. 

A quick  and unsuccessful dash round town for the solution lead to laments, beating of breast and a new mission for our team.  The mission, which they have graciously accepted, despite lack of glamour and excitement, is to significantly improve our range of fashion fix it, shoe and clothing care products.  The mission is on, keep an eye on that category.  But don’t hold your breathe, there is a lot of very serious lingerie shopping done first!
