Passion and Fashion

Even though I'd felt compelled to lock myself away from the world, move in silence only leaving the house when absolutely necessary - to either meet the solicitor or doctor. It was a welcome surprise when my friends came to visit, chill and help me to try and make sense of my current situation.

'What the hell has just happened, why and what will I do next? I'm at a crossroads again.'

We sat in the office on the floor amongst an array of papers, books and empty wine bottles.

I tried to read but the words were blurred and appeared to be falling off the page.

'Let's open another bottle of Malbec, thats the paperwork sorted so tell me what you want me to start on next.'

'Well there's just the clothes to sort through. I've made two piles one for the secondhand shop and the other to sell as some of the clothes are vintage!'

' Some of the best days of my life were spent working in the fashion industry where I met and served some of the most famous people on the planet---George Michael, Sade, Madonna, Cher and Jonathan Ross to name a few! The days when I used to party every night in the local wine bar at the end of South Molton Street. We used club together on the kings road and eat breakfast in The Chelsea Kitchen before going to work in the morning!'

'We cant bring back the past but you look good in that white top and leather pants especially when you twerk and dance!'

'So turn up music and dance while we play your favourite Pete Tong (Aurora) and tell the world how it all went wrong!'

'If your passion is fashion then Glow-up and take your pose and write about the secrets that I can't wait for you to expose! Besides if people wanted you to say nice things about them they should've behaved better. It's amazing what can be triggered to do when your heart has been shattered...'
