I have worn some awful clothes during my lifetime.  In the early years I could be excused for things like voluminous Oxford bags, six-inch platform shoes and a feathered haircut styled with a razor blade because those things were the fashion back then in the seventies.  It was my way of blending in with the crowd.  Of course I had the widest flares, the highest heels and a hairstyle that caused much confusion over my actual gender.  Had I been braver back then I might have embraced the...Read Full Story
