steel wool
for the unyielding man at arms
meant to be wielded
with a quick wit and an iron fist
It seems to me
could use a good shoe shine
to assist with
my rugged exterior

VOGUE
Silk wraps baseball caps
Cotton bow ties on wedding hats
Vintage buttons on modern jackets
Handbags designed like crisp packets
Fishnet tights and lycra cling on
Printed t-shirts Jeans with bling on
Rara skirts with vivviene shirts
Tight mini dresses for all you flirts
Over the knee boots
Boots with studs on
Jogging bottoms and tops hoods on
Pattern socks odd socks if you're feeling sil...

The Coming of a New Age
With every year's end - the advent marks the start of a new day,
as human kind we’re always growing wiser, furthermore, fully face to face with the task of taking baby steps toward a straight forward path —
It’s time to take a stand…
(With that being said: we really need to enjoy such a joyous occasion)
In an effort to boost morale; International Women’s Day should pronounce a two part holiday...

"Cancel Couture"
Go home
Take a shower
Put on your brand-new Couture
Walking down the street as clean as can be
Though you know your character lacks such hygiene
Carefully avoiding anything that will dirty your all-white attire
Your outfit is custom made of course
But yet the inevitable happens
The same way you ruined the previous ensemble
Destroys any hope for salvage
And w...

Fashion - Poem by Marie
I am a mannequin fashion me today

Make me look like your woman

Dress me in your fancy fleeces
Show me off in any style
I have just one request
Please go with me the mile
I am your mannequin, I'm all yours

Generation Gap, Next...
Take me back to the days of heady boutiques
Those psychedelic shades which heighten the senses
Racks of lush purple velvet, loon pants, cheesecloth, suede mini skirts
Float me to Biba, Granny Takes A Trip
Where tender darkness and patchouli wafting
Not sickly Haribo sweetness...clinging, cloying

Passing Fashions
When they grow up they dress in a new life:
a family of new suits and shirts to wear.
And the ties are new too.
He strides out on his new catwalk
proudly wearing his new self,
blind to the day the cloth may unravel
or fade or lose its style.
What will clothe him then?
I shall not grace his shoulders again:
I am the coat he has outworn
in my pockets are his memories

I can't take my eyes off those silver boots
I went window shopping a couple of weeks ago, not planning on parting with any cash, but then, I saw these beauties. Three thoughts flashed in a state of instant wild excitement: 1. Starman. 2. Noel Fielding. 3. Give them to me nowwwwww! And then I thought of this - ENJOY!
I will wear them down the pub
I will shop in them at Sainsburys
I went to a book launch in them last week
I hoovered...

...and a new pair of shoes
How do I love my shoes?
Let me count the ways.
I love their comfort and style and price.
When my foot can slip in
easily,
when kicking out of sight
foolish Insults and remarks.
I love them for their shine
and waterproofing,
Quiet in the walking,
By sun and torch-light.
I love the comfort as men
strive for Comfort.
I love their fashionability,
as they bask In praise...

Fashion antithesis
The fashion industry grips girls and boys in a funny spot,
Gets self hatred leaking from their mouth's like a money shot.
‘Cos there’s nothing wrong with exercise to tighten your thighs,
But there’s something wrong with drinking bleach to purify your insides.
So if we run out of cannabis,
I’ll have to handle this,
Just to release the pressure on her
With a fashion antithesis.

Fashion Womble
I am a fashion womble, ‘cause I like to find
clothes that the everyday folk leave behind
in charity shops. They’ve got quite a range
the vintage, the bargain, the oddball and strange:
Chenille turtlenecks that are falling to pieces,
stonewashed Wranglers with turn-ups and creases,
a Hellbunny dress that won’t fit round the middle,
a gabardine coat that smells s...
