What can YOU say in six sentences?
Adolescent dressing
And after hand me down?
When I began to break out of that me-as-mini-version-of-my-mother?
Hooped petticoats, fed with faux-whalebone strips to stand out like a lampshade, space between hem and thigh filled with flounced and ruffled netting.
My father ruffled and forbidding, me flouncing in temper from the room.
Blacker fury for my black stockings teamed with mini-skirt: ‘No better than a Piccadilly tart!” he thundered.
And I wondered how he knew.

"Piccadilly tart!" I had to look that up. Funny stuff.

'Blacker fury for my black stockings...' Love it. Is cheeky the same as sassy, because that's what this piece is. :)

No Gita - mutinous silence, always. I never did learn to answer back :(

Ooooooooooo! Around my house they used to say, "You're going out in THAT?"
Love sentence 6. Were you cheeky enough to say such aloud?
