I make clothes, I make bags, jewellry and all manner of wings and things… so if I want a classic soft-top to match my vintage headscarf and sunglasses then it figures that I need to learn about car mechanics.
In particular I’m intrigued by welding and resprays. I think this must be something to do with growing up in the 80’s where all Hollywood movies were required by law to feature a permed chick in skimpy dungarees, welding something. It didn’t seem to matter what – modern art structures or girders on a building site, it never seemed to need to tie into the plot.
I have this dream that in the future HaroldChasen, S0b and myself will spend our weekends together restoring an Aston Martin which has fallen on hard times or a beaten up old 1950’s Porsche Cabriolet to compliment my latest handbag.
I’m not planing on a perm anythime soon – but the Cabriolet, now that’s a different matter. And I have the perfect pair of slingbacks…
