To whomever dresses Norma Bates...

You are a genius.

I'm not one to be overly fashionable. I wear what I wear and I like it. I couldn't tell you what designers do what and I find shopping for clothes a complete waste of time and energy. I know there are women like me, somewhere. But I do love second hand clothes, vintage dresses, and wished more men dressed like they did back in the 1940's. There is no denying that. 

So lately, we've been watching the Bates Motel, which is a good show, but now I find myself watching it to see what the Norma Bates character is going to where in the next scene! Most of the characters are dressed as a slight throwback to the 1950's. It's worth watching just for that. 




Ahh, pleated skirts, proper waistlines, perfect hemlines, lovely shoes that aren't over the top. Granted, it is a little June Cleaver meets the Manson Family, but that's what's great about it!

And so... ends my take on fashion. :P

*everthing you've ever wanted to know... day 03

Day 01 — Your favourite song 
Day 02 — Your favourite movie
Day 03 — Your favourite television programme
Ok. This one is actually really hard! Probably because I watch too much TV. 

Watching something like Law and Order is strangly comforting to me. I started watching it with my Dad back when I was about 16. J always complains that every plot is the same...
crime, *dom dom*  
investigate, *dom dom*  
arrest, *dom dom*  
after proper investigating... the first arrest turns out to be wrong, *dom dom*  
they arrest someone else who is the more well-known actor, *dom dom* 
court, *dom dom* 
vertict followed by somewhat witty "lesson learned" statement. 

*dom dom*
Yeah yeah, it's predictable, but that's what makes it comforting!

J and I are both oddly into Top Gear, Spicks n Specks, Hungry Beast (which has just ended, hope it comes back next season!!!)
