Here I am with a man who has been described as one of Singapore's most eligible bachelors. 

What of the dolls? They are fun. They are fantastic. Famous faces.

Three thoughts come to mind when you view this Barbie doll collection exhibition. (Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!) More than 600 dolls in clothes ranging from beachwear to wedding dresses. You can marvel at the lovely ladies, film stars, royals, William and Kate, inspiring people such as an astronaut, and the boy dolls, Elvis, business or sporty.

Three Thoughts On Barbie Dolls Inspiration
1 Barbie dolls promote slim women (who still have pronounced waists and curves).
2 Barbie dolls have colourful clothes and matching accessories and props.
3 The latest trend is disposable or 'flushable fashion' clothes. Made popular worldwide by Jian Yang.

Flushable Clothes
Flushable fashion clothes - are the opposite of classic, long-lasting clothes. But fashion is all about following fashion.

Yes, just a moment of instant, excitement at the novelty.  Before you move onto the next new idea. 

Jian Yang's Book
On the other hand, they provide a second use for paper and paper bags. No more clutter of last year's out-of-date, unwanted items. 

The dolls were all collected by Jian Yang. You can see the boy dolls whose clothes are based on various stages in his life.

You can buy his book Flushable Fashion, showing his latest idea - how dolls clothes were made in as little as 15 minutes from paper such as the paper shopping bags from shops in the ION indoor shopping mall.

You can look inside the book on Amazon.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. that would m

What to wear for a funeral? A black funeral coat from Marks & Spencers Outfit 291

Angela Lansbury, wearing black for the funeral and funeral tea for Stephen Kennard. Photo by Angela Lansbury. This week I went to a funeral. I wore black.  Everybody else wore all black. The invitation said nothing about the dress code.  I know lots of funerals nowadays people were mixed colours. Some specify wearing jolly colours. My friend at the funeral told me, "Always wer black. Unles it specifies otherwise, the rule is, wear black." I had my usual blue anorak with the hood with me. I left it in the car. In the boot of the car, in case anybody broke into the car hoping to find money in the pockets or because they wanted a coat to wear or sell. The safest thing is to leave a completely empty car. At least everything in the boot so the car looks empty. I could have kept the blue anorak in my black tote bag. As soon as we drove into the chapel driveway, I looked at the other guests and their clothes. I saw all black. Off came my blue anorak. Thank goodness I had a black coa
