IT HAS been an exciting period for Granny. She was featured on TV again – twice in two months! Hubba hubba!<\/p>\n

This time, we were featured in Singapore Discovered!, a programme by Channel NewsAsia that follows expats in Singapore as they divulge hidden island gems.<\/p>\n

That’s right. Granny is an island gem. \ud83d\ude42 Anyway, there were some pretty fascinating images from 1980s fashion runway shows in Singapore. Really wish they had shown more clips!<\/p>\n

Watch the full video here! Granny’s Day Out on Singapore Discovered!, Channel NewsAsia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"So,

So, they start off the whole vintage theme by showing old reels of fashion runway shows. That's cheena-piang huge teased hair from the 80s. We don't recommend it, ladies.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Hats

Hats were all the rage. They shield us from UV rays - we should wear them more!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Note:

Note: Strategically arranged fringe over left eye under hat.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Lady

Lady behind in red hat brings to mind 80s screen siren Lin Ching Hsia. All the ladies on TV swirled like mad back then and kept tossing their hair.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This

This lass reminds me of a really cute girl who comes to the shop.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The

The hat used to match the clothes.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"A

A bizarre occurrence on the runway: Characters in identical outfits and turbans appeared accompanied by mafia types in suits and shades.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"They

They pretend they are famous and chased by paparazzi. The macho men leap to their rescue. Drama mama!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The

The host of the programme, Grace Lee, discovers that Granny's Day Out is an island gem that sells vintage clothing and accessories.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"She

She hunts us down in ulu Peninsula Shopping Centre while I pretend to work hard on the window.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"We

We chat about the past. I reminisce about how women used to dress up a lot more, even in their own backyards, like I was there in the 50s.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Shop

Shop propaganda, yeah!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Grace

Grace (excitedly): "I need a dress for a vintage car event I'm attending!" Me (in unnaturally high-pitched tone): "Sure! Let's go try some dresses!"<\/p><\/div>\n

\"So

So many choices! We pick from hundreds of vintage dresses. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"First

First outfit: Grace matches a 1970s floral dress with a 1960s crocheted handbag and beaded necklace.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Grace

Grace is from Hawaii, and she loves this 1970s Hawaiian frock which reminds her of home.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Awesome

Awesome sleeves! Could've been worn by a hippie bride with flowers in her hair.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Whos

Who's crazier - the lady or the dress? Grace wears a psychedelic 1970s mock-neck dress.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Twirling

Twirling around in a 50s bustier dress like a princess.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"This

This lady looks good in vintage! Here, she plays dress-up in a 1970s green maxi dress with an unusual neckline.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"She

She practices a curtsy in a 50s floral number!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Thats

That's our shopping bag! That's our shopping bag on TV! Woohoo!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Final:

Viola! Grace's final choice of a get-up at a Singapore vintage car show: 1950s bustier white dress with 1950s tri-strand beaded necklace. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
