chelsea boots and shorts

it actually feels and looks like summer today. the weather was wicked this weekend and the forecast is for it to be the same all week. at lunchtime i sat on the stairs of a building round the corner from work, with a friend of mine and we did our usual social and fashion commentary on the people passing by. there are some freaky people working in soho and it would be almost rude not to make fun of them with their white plastic sunglasses, skin tight jeans, mop top hair cuts and winkle picker shoes. some people take themselves far too seriously. 

amongst the various fashions on display this season were quite a few moustaches. not tom selleck, magnum PI moustaches, which is a dark straight thick, even moustache, but more like the wispy, cultivated moustaches with curls at the ends that are styled and trimmed to look like a 1930's 'your country needs you' recruitment poster or a circus strong man. there was one fat guy with a moustache who walked past in light grey pleated shorts with a grey suit jacket, t-shirt, scarf and chelsea boots. shorts and chelsea boots!. my friend said he looked like a gay oliver hardy, from the laurel and hardy films. i nearly shat myself laughing. 

will be out there again on thursday lunchtime for some more entertainment. people are funny. 

today i have mostly been listening to fleetwood mac - big love. wicked tune.
