This is my youngest daughter, Sarah. She's curled up on the sofa watching her favorite TV programs in her favourite cozy night gown. On weekends, she'll lounge around in it until we finally initiate today’s fashion-decision process and chase her into the bedroom to get dressed. Oh well ... weekends are a time to relax, and there are actually few times when children have to just do nothing but kick back without demands from parents, teachers or peers. Sarah is now nearly 13. Clothes are playing a pivotal role in her life, as she experiments with how she wants to present herself to the world. She will often try on numerous outfits to arrive at the look for the day, and she will often have several looks per day. We’ve been shopping intently for the perfect purse for two months now. It's all so very stressful (and expensive).
Some of Sarah’s friends have already adopted very distinct fashion choices. One in particular is into some kind of punkish/gothish fusion, sporting intense neon colours at times.
Sarah has good taste in clothes, I think, but taste is as a matter of opinion. Perhaps, in some small way, some of my preference has rubbed off on her. We’ll see what’s to come, but for now she has a good start, despite the Britney Spears/Lady Gaga influence of today’s music video scene. In my day it was Madonna.
I work from my ground-floor studio in our house. I expend very little brain power selecting which paint stained work clothes to don in the morning. I have a green fleece ”Painters Lodge” pullover of which I am fond. It was a hand-me-down from my father. I’m hoping that, in some Frosty-the-Snowman way, some of my dad will rub off on me.
