This post has absolutely nothing to do with the Compound except three of us spent 10 days in the UK and our chickens survived our absence perfectly fine. Special thanks to Liza, Alyce and Betsy for giving the girls special treats!
While walking the streets of London, I remembered by Bill Cunningham's Sunday vlog in the NYTimes and decided to try my hand at fashion-reporting. I must admit, snapping photos of unsuspecting persons is much harder than it seems! Anyway, here is my expose:
Spring had sprung and Memorial Day was just around the corner during the last weekend in May, but Londoners were already decked out, from head to toe, in the color white. And many, including men and street performers, went so far as to don tight white tights.
Before arriving in London, a very fashionable Scottish woman told me (disparngly) that Londoners adopt "the fashion of the week", even if the newest trend looks terrible on them or clashes with their personal style. I certainly found this to be true with the white tights. 
Fat and thin, young and old - everyone embraced opaque white leggings. It was incredible - 5 out of 10 people wore white tights and none of them had VPL (visible pantie lines). Sadly, I didn't get a shot of the more ridiculous white-tight-wearers, but you can use your imagination.
White was hot for other parts of the body as well. Pretty much everyone had white shoes, white purses, white polka-dots - you name it - it showed up in white.
White was so prevalent than some people had pushed the fad into the neon realm. Neon pink, yellow, green and blue were often worn to offset the articles of white. Check out these two white and neon twins:
To be honest, I had no idea London was so mind-blowingly fantastic. Art, theatre, food, shopping - all seemed so far ahead of what you see here in the Bay. I can hardly wait for my next trip!
