Ribh's D'Coopage

[MaryJanet]

There's a newly homeless chap who puts himself by the big train station in town and instead of trying for money, he tries for food. And he has retained sufficient dignity to turn down a gift if he's already got it covered. My neighbour tried to give him water when the temperature was up over 40 on Wednesday and he said "you're right love, the cafe downstairs lets me drink their water if I need, so you hang on to it in this heat." So she offered her fruit salad iinstead, which he accepted so it was wins all round.

Everyone wins. That's great!

I had a quintessential Aussie experience in Melbourne airport Ribh. I'd been away for three days, travelling with carry on, so I was in *cough* well-worn jeans, comfy pale blue shoes, loose and very long dusty pink tshirt with the wrong bra underneath, and a short cashmere cardi in cream. Not my best outfit, but I was out of options.

Guess who walks by? She takes a glance and is visibly taken aback. Lee Lin Chin. Looking absolutely resplendent of course.

So do I need to google Lee Lin Chen?

She's an Australian
newsreader who presented oneof the national news tv programs for a few decades. And she's a style icon.

I can see that. I guess you would feel frumpy with her walking by all decked out.

To be fair, I already knew I was frumped out But you don't expect to be in the same place as Lee Lin Chin, much less startle her .

Oh gosh! I feel for you. If it helps, I'm always frumped out. I can't wear clothes so they look good on me @ all! I love pretty things but it doesn't matter, I always look like I'm tied together with string & leaking out the edges.

Also, if it helps, however resplendent I don't actually like her style much. Too in your face. Too ~ dunno ~ geometric.

In a nutshell I loved Kate Middleton's wedding gown & loathed Megan's, so simple, classic & understated rather than ...whatever it is Lee Lin Chin does.
