        Odd people. We have some here too. Do you still have that fellow, the one who refuses to wear clothing, tramping round the country?

          It's a style choice - like minimalist, baroque etc - not sure it's that news worthy.

          Looks like the daily mail are getting desperate for stories to me.

                Each to their own I suppose :) -- I couldn't live like this to be honest. I like my modern comfort and those trousers would so not be flattering on my thighs :heehee: .

                Good for her, I say :thumbsup:

                She's not hurting anyone and is being her authentic self. She's only got one life and if that is how she chooses to live it, it is no one else's business but her own.

                  Yeah, we all like different things! I hope she finds someone as enthusiastic for 1940s roleplay/cosplay as she is, though. Good luck to her!

                  I'm actually pretty jealous of her Art-Deco fireplace, though, we had a similar-styled one in the house I grew up in. :biggrin:
