Style Statement

It’s all about comfort. “To me, dressing up does not entail any kind of discomfort,” she says. No elaborate make-up stuff, no exquisite jewellery, and no complicated outfits.

Here I was forced into an awareness of an amazing group of people I have now come to think of as the Waiting Room Horrors.To begin with, they stand out by the way they sit (!).

There were sofas lining three walls, and I noticed many people sprawled on them in such a way as to take up three people’s space per person. They took no notice of tottery senior citizens looking bemusedly around for a place to sit, till some pre-historic creature like myself offered them a seat.
