Rag Tales Weekly News Round Up
Here’s a great video of Sarah Jessica Parkers Vogue Shoot for the May US edition. Shot by Mario Testino in the run up to ‘Sex and the City 2′ coming out soon… The blue dress on the cover is by Calvin Klein and is set to be a hot ticket item
Since 2006 TOMS shoes has given 600,000 pairs of shoes to children who had none. Children all over the world go barefoot and suffer from soil born diseases or cannot go to school because they have no footwear. TOMS shoes is a simple business. For every pair you buy they give one pair to a child who is without. I love this. It’s a win win. The shoes are canvas, comfy and exactly the sort we will all be wearing on holidays or throughout the Summer. I love these and they ship all over the world. This is a continuing good news story we can all take part in…..
Thighs are in it seems. They are having a ‘fashion moment’. That’s good news for me but I fear it has come too late. Years of hiding them have become a habit I’m unable to break. I first noticed them in the 70′s after I once wore hot pants with tights. The memory left permanent scars. I’m very happy to post some here though in the hopes that my ‘Thigh issues’ will not have been in vain and that other thigh-challenged souls will not suffer as I have.
I kind of hope this tigh-high trend won’t catch on… I can see the girls in my school rejoycing because they can actually wear proper pants to discos and not just their knickers.(No, I’m serious, they wear their knickers because they can’t find shorts short enough.)
Delightful young ladies, no?

Thanks for the information on Tom’s! I just ordered the Tyler Ramsey painted pair (that you showed). Such a nice idea, I’m forwarding it to lots of people.
Another note, the whole knickers at discos disturbs me. Really disturbs me. Please let this be a very quick fad.

I agree, I’m not one bit enthused by the site of girls in knickers on the streets. The beach is the only place this looks ok.
