I have a nightly rejection on winter nights when our terrier Morris creeps out of his basket, jumps on our bed and gets under the covers to nestle up to MY HUSBAND!
I’m in the US, so no doubt the shops themselves were different, but the rejection of juniors clothing shops made me feel so utterly alien—one was called 5-7-9, because those were the sizes they carried. Literally nothing for me there. I remember getting stuck in a cool silver dress in Contempo Casuals, which I knew would *never* fit, and it was as though rejection had ironically found a way to fuse itself to me.
I love this
ty my pal!!
that part about people meeting on bicycles has stayed with me since I first read it years ago, makes me smile every time I think about it 🚲💖
This is perfect, thank you Amy. I may write my own list this weekend 💜 Love the poem.
thanks so much Ruth - I hope you enjoy doing it!
Iconic CBBCs show Byker Grove for not being waifish enough - I feel like I need to know more!
