38. as the dust settles


A couple of nights ago Tracy Grimshaw was wearing a space suit on ACA, masquerading as fashion.
It was a zip thru beige one-sie with HUGE shoulder pads and contour panels down the side of the bodice.
It was very Claude Montana circa 1987.
I should have taken a screen shot.
Its a shame she was stuck behind that desk because I really wanted to see her try a bit of Voguing.
You know, spread knee squats and flap your bended elbows around your head, sort of thing. (Madge is so last century now, lucky for her she lived long enough to see the 80's return and date that hot Brazilian boy)
The Gaga dust is settling over Sydney and I know we will never be the same again.
When stalwarts (I love using that word) like T.G get caught up in trends inspired by La Gaga, then our world has truly shifted.
I took the pic of the girl above the week Sydney was griped with Gaga fever and then kinda forgot Id taken it - until I saw ACA and it all came flooding back to me.
She's got yellow hair (the girl above not T.G) and this was not the result of some mild over / under processing home bleach job issue - this was full-on, vitamin overdose, golden, sunshine yellow tinted hair.
On purpose.
why 12 months ago we would have looked at her colour choice with a question mark on our face but now we know why - Gaga.
The bag, not really anything special, also has its roots in a recent Gaga look.
Id rest my case, if I had one.
(and wonder what bag T.G carried with that beige one-sie?)
