spent much of childhood in approximation of Edwardian dress. [note to self: poss. why had no friends?]

I would have been your friend. I would have been your over-enthusiastic, worshipping, envious, absolutely besotted friend who always wanted Edwardian dress but never had the elan for it til she was twenty. One of my heroines is Lisa St Aubin de Teran (author of 'Slow Train to Milan' and many other novels and travel memoirs), who always wore Edwardian bustles, and even when travelling took with her several hat boxes and several crates of books, or so she says.

Could I be any more fond out you?

Unfortunately my attempts at Edwardian costume were somewhat on the pathetic side. They tended to involve blankets and nightdresses.

By the time I was twenty, I'd worked out that it's easier if you try to fit in, so I was wearing things full of holes in an attempt to be Kurt Cobain.

I never quite pulled off my masculine Edwardian or Oxbridge 1920s look due to my CHILDBEARING HIPS & also total poverty which precluded lace, bustles or fancy waistcoats. I still covet a Regency overcoat, and I'm damned if I won't one day have an ice-white stock around my throat.

By the time I was twenty, I'd worked out that it's easier if you try to fit in, so I was wearing things full of holes in an attempt to be Kurt Cobain. Kurt Cobain was the man who made me cool, because finally, with grunge, you really couldn't get it wrong. They were heady days. Even I looked fucking good. I love our generation.

*continues to adore you*
