Androgynous trends are the name of the game in fashion for 2013/2014
It's a girl / boy thing !!
From brogues to suits, with a feminine twist
Of course, this is nothing new ….
Katharine Hepburn did it …..
….. as did Marlene Dietrich
….. and, Twiggy in the 60's
….. and, here's a page from the catalogue of my favourite shop, Biba. I bought a very similar jacket from Biba in the mid 60's and I still have it. The very same one was on the Antiques Roadshow and was valued at £600 to £800 !!!!
That shows how old I am !!!!
But, we won't forget our pencil skirts and high heels !!!!

Our BIO subject this month is to find a non-blogger to do a guest post..... not easy !! Most people that I know are either bloggers themselves , are too busy to do it or they are not interested !!
I finally begged and bribed someone to do a little something for me ..... he told me what he wanted to do and I provided a selection of images for him to choose from so, there was a little help from me !.....
SO
..... it's goodbye from me and over to him .....
OK , well, whether you like it or not, I'm your temporary, friendly, neighbourhood blogger for the day. Here I am in unknown territory --- and what a strange world it is for the uninitiated --- my brush with Blogtopia [ I have been briefed on that word ] means that my life has become, just for a while, like that of the lives in those Round Robin letters that we all have fall on the mat every Christmas --- they all seem to be living the perfect life --- the life of Riley.
I need to embrace the 'Lifestyle' genre.
But, not for me the girly, fluffy images --- OH NO --- a little machismo is needed --- gotta show just what us blokes like BUT in the style of ' HOME ' --- can't let those standards drop can we ?
I've had a look at a few blogs and I am jumping on the bandwagon and entering that world of beautiful people and perfection.
I have to say that I am definitely cooler on the Internet --- I can be anyone I like.
but, unfortunately, it's only in my head. And now, for my piece de resistance, my manly YouTube video, even you ladies might enjoy this one. It's only a couple of minutes long and has some good sound effects. A bit phallic, I know, which wasn't the intention but, hey ho.

Thanks for bearing with me on my ' virgin blogging flight ' . You never know, perhaps I'll start a blog of my own after this.

For more ' guest bloggers ' pop over to see Marsha where she has all of the links.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and, today is Wear It Pink Day .
Every year, Wear It Pink raises over £2 million during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, by asking people to wear something pink and donate £2 .
If you feel that you would like to support them, go to : Breast Cancer Campaign where you can donate your £2 ..... or text PINK to 70907 .....
OR
..... just wear something pink to remember all those who have been touched by breast cancer, just to show that you are thinking of them..... it's not difficult ..... I'm sure that you've all got a pair of pink knickers somewhere in your drawer !!!!!
Today, let's just all give a thought to anyone whose lives have been touched by Breast Cancer.
