MADAM – Take time before you speak is good advice and this advice can easily be extended to think before you act.
In living memory the tattooed lady was a feature of a fairground side show and considered rather tacky, but by today’s standards looked upon as a fashion statement. As we all know fashions come and fashions go, but unfortunately tattoos are for life and as I am sure one would not wish to be shackled to their parents dress sense any more than be chained to some questionable colourful body enhancing graffiti.
This brings me to the forthright comment which appears to have upset Isabelle of King’s Stanley. She has the right to choose any lifestyle she wishes, but must also be mindful of the example she sets to her loving children as they obviously look up to her and see her as a role model.
So does she really wish to burden them with a fashion that could so easily become unfashionable in the near future?
I am sure that cannot be one of the items on her wish list.
I was not that elderly gentleman in Beeches Green waiting room, but I do see where he was coming from.
