Twirly Teens

Wednesday 9th of April 2008
This could be two teenagers
in my class, but it isn't. We
were not satisfied till we had
a "broomstick skirt" to wear
to school etc. They flared
out when dancing which seemed
daring and wild.
I recall, that just because a
friend's mother wore gold hoop
earings, I thought she must truly
be a Gypsey. We kept
the many folds in the circle skirt
looking pleated by tying the
skirt to a broomstick to
dry the pleats in.
