    Tut.... it might be that or they may just be a little distracted looking down your cleavage. :D


    Hmm, would be more the case now but years ago when it worked better, it was a case of "Cleavage? What cleavage?" :D

    They could have been busy looking at the stockings combined with the mini skirt though.......
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Should we all swap boards for a week or two? I think fresh perspectives on all of the above would be very interesting.

    Ermmmm no.

    Cleaver, if you'd like to discuss the merits/pitfalls of shoulderpads, come over to the Health, Beauty & Fashion board. We're much better qualified to advise you on this important matter.

    I'll give you a basic overview - they're back, but only in black and only with minimalist accessories. The shoulders speak for themselves.

    HTH... ;)

    Thanks very much GrammarGirl. Being male, shoulderpads aren't too much of an issue for me, but it's nice to informed in a metrosexual kinda way.

    By the way, with regard to your comment that over the the Health, Beauty and Fashion board you are "much better qualified to advise you on this important matter", you haven't reasoned for the brainpower of Generali. Granted, his forte is credit default swaps, mutal funds, hedge funds, foreign currency exchange markets, asset bubbles, emerging markets and global crash cycles but I wouldn't bet against him having a pretty good working knowledge of the shoulderpad world. He knows everything.

    What if you were offered a massively well paid job as an extra in Dallas?

    I have difficulty in believing the shoulders in the City are all natural. I believe some serious male shoulder padding goes on, and some more subtle suit ''structuring''.

    Not even the Balmain blazer?! :eek:

    I like the sound of this Generali chap... tell me, does he know much about spray tans? Or tooth whitening? Or even (and this is a long shot) where to find the best black leggings? If so we shall welcome him with open arms and await his wisdom.

    And those long length trousers are definitely hiding a Cuban heel of at least 4 inches.
