I had a defining moment whilst i was watching wizards of waverly place on the Disney Channel with my minimi - quite a good programme - original at any rate! Anyway, I was looking at the teenage daughter and thinking 'what a cute hat' she has on and 'i like the way she has decorated her phone' - and that is when it hit me - I was looking at the fashion of someone HALF MY AGE!!!!!!! I should really have been identifying with the mum in the programme - she is closer to my age. When on earth did this happen?? it seems like sometime in the last five years I have grown up without being consulted about it! Who decreed this should happen?? And will it happen again? Will i be watching programmes in ten years time, looking at the 30 something mums, thinking they are wearing 'cool' stuff only to discover i should be looking at the 40 something character??
My main concern is for when I hit 50 ish - will isuddenly wake up one morning and discover my hair in a tight perm and my clothes have all morphed into crimpolene dresses (Think Nora Batty in last of the summer wine)? I'm afraid - very afraid!
And don't laugh - it is coming to a future near you!!
