Hard to believe, I know, but I am currently the Fashion writer for Mythaxis Magazine. It is ‘fashion’ with a difference of course, and somewhat tongue in cheek. Coming to this role late in life makes me approach it from a different perspective, so don’t expect any reviews of skinny jeans, swimwear, or male moisturisers.
For anyone interested, here is the link to my latest article for the magazine.

Perfect! I must pass it onto my mother as well. She’s forever complaining about uncomfortable shoes, but every time I suggest she buys some comfortable shoes she insists they are “ugly”. Anything comfortable looks pretty to me, and even more to my feet. I look forward to more fashion advice, Pete. An absolute winner!

It’s look like you covered all the bases Pete! I hate to admit I have a pair of sandals whose straps attach with velcro! I should have read your piece before I got them! 😉

I was talking about the huge velcro pads that flop over the front of some supposedly formal shoes to secure them. You are okay with your sandals. 🙂

Great article Pete 🙂 I just love what the slippers say on it 🙂 I tried to leave a comment, but it has not accepted it. Anyway, keep up the great work as always 🙂
P.S. did you hear that Spitting Image is coming back on a UK service called “Brit Box” I believe? 🙂 I hope it remains every bit as sharp as it was during the 80’s and early 90’s because since then, the world itself has debatably become a Spitting Image sketch. Either way, here is a youtube video link to the trailer below 🙂

Thanks for the trailer, John. I don’t subscibe to Britbox, and it’s a shame that Spitting Image couldn’t return on a mainstream channel.

How about belts and belt buckles?
LikeLiked by 2 people
I only have two belts, GP. They are both black leather, with medium-sized buckles. They are the only ones I own, and are identical. I am not a very adventurous belt-owner, as I do not wear jeans, ever.

I love it, Pete! A well written write up. Sketchers are amazing! So comfortable. Over here we call the farmers boots rubbers (I know, gross) or galoshes.
LikeLiked by 2 people
I was wearing Skechers today! Galoshes (over here) are rubber covers that fit over normal shoes. Wellington Boots are full-boots, like these.

Sketchers became my foot friends about 5 years ago – they’re so lightweight – and I agreed wholeheartedly about letting elastic take the strain of getting into and out of shoes and boots 👍😃
