We all have one …. You know, that ‘line in the sand’ that tells us what we think is acceptable, and what is just that ‘bit too far’. While I’m all for self expression, and daring to be a little different… today I saw something, that for me, just crept over that line.
You see, I was sitting in a cafe and I noticed this very anglo elderly woman (high end 70’s by my calculations). She was seated with her side to me, but I noticed that she was wearing leopard print lycra tights. I had a little internal giggle and thought to myself ‘good on you’ ….I guess.
BUT when she turned I noticed that she had her nose pierced !! There she was sipping her
latte with two sleepers sitting side by side in one very wrinkly nostril…and I almost choked on my coffee.
I was reminded of the saucepan advert with the elderly woman sporting a tattoo on her arm ~ referring to ‘not-so-good’ decisions….. BUT piercings are so easily removed (if you want to).. so my guess is that she was perfectly content with her look… again ‘good on her’.
I wonder what her grandchildren think ??….and does it even matter??… I guess!
