ROSEY WAS DISTRESSED

My friend Rosey often gets teased about her fashion sense. So has decided to tweak her image a tad. She wants more street cred she told me.

Part of the revised look is to start wearing jeans instead of her customary baggy skirts. Can you believe she’s never owned a pair? ‘A bit common’ she often says.

Anyway, I bumped into her yesterday –literally.  She stepped right in front of me, and several other shoppers as she weaved her way through the mall.  She told me she was taking a pair of jeans back to Marks and Sparks for a refund because they (quote) had holes in them. She sat me down on a bench and pulled them from the carrier bag.

‘Rosey I said, they are distressed jeans, they are meant to.....’

They are distressed?’ she interrupted ‘What about me?’

I said ‘You poor little pudding, I guess it was embarrassing enough having to buy them, but taking them back – you must be mortified

‘It’s not that bad’ she said.  ‘I haven’t exactly died, been put on a marble slab and bunged in a fridge-freezer. Duh!
‘No Rosey’ I chuckled. ‘Mortified as in ....oh never mind’  

I received one of those clever looks that somehow make me feel like I'm the stupid one!

With that she raised her hand to give me a cool high five, completely missed my palm and almost poked me in the eye. Then off she went! 



(Rosey now has her a blog of her own. It's called Rosey Pinkerton and it's RIGHT HERE!)

  6. Rosey's misadventures are a hoot. Nothing like stepping out of mainstream and being what you are.
