I'm a little teapot short and stout

brixtonbroodI didn't leave the house from Sunday to Wednesday (potty training hell) and I haven't been shopping without Small since I don't know when, so I was in a vulnerable state when I passed the "directional" clothes shop in the posh bit of Clapham with a sale on.
Came out, after a bit of a dither, with a rather nice full skirt with a teapots print, not unreasonably priced, fairly fashionable and actually on my vague "could do with" list. Felt very smug going down the High St with poncy fuschia bag, planning to wear skirt to Church Fete on Saturday, possibly accessorised with baby blue cardigan (and baby sick of course). Then discovered that they had placed glossy catalogue in bag with skirt, revealing how their stylists thought it should be worn - by Paris Hilton lookalike wearing dubious red shoes and trashy jewellry in a David Lynch landscape of derelict gas stations. Very difficult to look edgy whilst wearing teapot print but she just about made it.
I now feel short, fat, frumpy, elderly and more akin to Miss Marple than Paris Hilton. However, what the hell, didn't Miss Marple shag Joanna Lumley in that latest ITV series? (possibly subtext only). New skirt is (hand) washable, hence anyone who meets me between now and October will probably get to admire it in the flesh.
