SO, THIS time, we took all these crazy, wild, printed, psychedelic clothes from the 1960s and 1970s – you know, those groovy prints that give you an immediate visual flashback to ’em old times? – and dragged our very cute model Linda How far out in the faraway lands of Seletar, and snapped pictures of her in all these wonderful clothes in the hot sun at a little air base located near a cafe where they serve the spiciest chicken wings on the planet.

That was a mighty long sentence.

But anyway, back to the clothes: They just don’t make ’em like these anymore. Loud, screaming prints that defy rules in a rainbow of colours that sometimes clash in your face, prints that gel and mash, prints that distort perception, prints that add sizzle to anyone’s wardrobe.

Best of all, they’re so fun. Everybody loved them. We still love them.

What’s there not to love?

GRANNY’S ON TV!!!

Granny’s Day Out was on Fashion Ambush, a local Chinese fashion entertainment programme on Channel 8 on June 4!!!

Watch the full video here! Granny’s Day Out on Fashion Ambush, Channel 8!

So, here’s a short summary of what happened!!!

p.s Lots of exclamation marks in this post!!!

Kena ambushed on the street by fashion police Ben and Trey

I am a summation of parts.

So anyway they came over to Granny's Day Out

... and gawked at stuff

They gushed over vintage new old stock jewelry

... and yakked about vintage travel bags

Ben puts on a dress

...but decides I look better in it

Trey says this 80s jumpsuit is very Bian Yuan Shao Nian (Wayward Teenager), a local show in the 80s

So I put on the jumpsuit and strike a pose in the hope that someone out there will realise that I am truly meant to be a TV star.

INITIALLY, WE didn’t think anyone would want to look like a disenchanted mistress, really. We just thought it might be fun.

So we put our friend Maya-lynn in all these wonderful vintage dresses and shot her in a house shared by three bachelors – a hovel, really. But a hovel that managed to inspire us, with its built-in 60s wardrobes, grimy bathrooms, and well, general disarray.

Back to the clothes: It’s all rather grown-up, a little severe. There’s a smouldering sultriness simmering underneath the longish dresses with covered sleeves and muted tones. There are details that scream woman – small waists, curvaceous silhouettes, thick shoulder pads.

And Maya-lynn rocked it with a dash of flourish, and a devil-may-care attitude!

Now Granny wants to look like a disenchanted mistress, too. Anyone else?
