Question:
"Status Shades"
on my way to the tube station this morning I had to walk past a bunch of guys unloading carpets from a white van to a shop. I did the usual internal cringe fully expecting various comments like "nice tits", "smile, it might not happen" or, if I'm lucky, a simple "good morning luv" but instead I got:
"nice status shades lady, verrrry nice"
now, I'm not sure if that was code for "tits" but I appreciate the window-dressing.
alternatively, are 'status shades' a good thing ?
btw, I was wearing my truly fabulous taupe Tom Ford Whitney glasses which make me look very sophia loren;) .
Maybe you have come across a new species of white-man-van/fashionista hybrid :lol:
I say that was definitely a compliment and much better than being likened to a WAG as I have been this week :mad:
Ellie, get yourself an ipod, it's marvellous for blocking out any sort of builder talk. It doesn't stop them making the comments in the first place as they are too stupid to comprehend that earphones mean you can't hear them but it blocks them out a treat :lol:
Never heard the "status shades" expression before, Shiny might be onto something with her new species theory :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: Status shades?? :lol::lol: that is a classic and definitely a compliment!
I'm still laughing at that :lol:
LOL!
On the subject of headphones, sometimes I put them on even when the thing they're connected to has a dead battery.
It stops the performance from the inevitable attention seeking girl opposite me on the train.
If they think they don't have an audience, they don't bother with all that designed to impress stuff when they just have to ring their mate.
You know, all that extra detail about their simply fabulous life that you know is only for your benefit. :rolleyes:
