Style Icon: Margaret Thatcher


There is no need to become a notorious British prime minister to replicate this style, you don't even need to spend lots of money. It's easy to look like Maggie for next to nothing at home.

Step 1: Go to your nearest charity store and purchase a well fitted 80's matching skirt and jacket. Don't get ripped off, it shouldn't cost you more than $10.

Step 2: Time for a visit to nanna! Ask your favourite grandmother where she gets her awesome perm. Go there and negotiate a discount with the hairdresser. It's easy, tell them 'If you don't give me a cheap perm you will be unemployed soon enough'. They will probably be scared into the discount.

Step 3: Work on a sadistic grin. Practice in front of the mirror. You have to make sure your eyes show no emotion and it is only your lips that move.

Step 4: Make enemies with young people, trade unionists and people in the fashion world. Your aim is to get people to make famous T-shirts undermining your policies. You are allowed to shake hands with these people. Avoid skinheads on the street.

Step 5: This is not necessary but if you can get your hands on a coat like this you should definitely buy it immediately! She looks like a witch, in fact, purchase a cauldron too. You should begin working on your spells.

See it's easy! By following these 5 fun filled steps you should be channeling Margaret Thatcher in no time! Goodluck!

it was ironic that i made you read it because i needed to talk about kevin

i was never good at sports

archery is a sport

21:54Salome

me neither

i was thinking of saying that, but i thought it would still be mean to say you were bad at sport even if its true

21:54Me

it would

but it's ok because i said it first

21:55Salome

and also because im bad at sport too

21:55Me

does eating two mini toblerones equal to one normal sized one?

21:56Salome

depends on the situation

21:56Me

no it doesn't

they are always the same size

so it would always be the same

younger kids who are cooler than us.
































Oh how much we hate them, it's this perverseness which is one part admiration and two parts jealousy.


When we were your age we were wallowing in our hate for everything, being fat and working out what life was. We didn't have time to be cool.


It's not only that you have great style, you also have a good taste in music, know who you are, are creative, intelligent, and generally productive in life. Were you even ever bullied!? We got the cool knocked out of us and we had to build it up again over a long period of time with never ending barriers. Fuck you for being so resiliently amazing so young!


It's terribly hard but we have to overcome all kinds of shame and recognise you did life better than us and probably always will. How? HOW?! My darlings, congratulations, you managed it all. (we are allowed to recognise your coolness and still hate you)



P.S.
Photo babies: we're sorry we ransacked your facebooks and stole your amazing pictures. You people are truly too cool for school. The kids we speak of are younger than you, but we don't have kids that age as facebook friends because that would be creepy.


salome: 'seriously cathy, younger kids that are cooler than us makes me depressed.'
