The Annalucia turned eighteen in the year 1970. that is to say, after suffering a girlhood in which the Twiggy was posited as the ideal fashion figure (leaving the Annalucia, who was actually quite normal, feeling like the obese cow) she was then hit with the breathtaking ugliness of the 1970s. To think of her wasted youth – it is to weep.

Fortunately, now that she is not only solidly of the middle-age but is also a grandmother, she is finally learning to be choosy about what she wears and to accept only those colors and styles which are truly flattering to her.

Come to think of it, perhaps here is the right place to post her request to for the future editions of “Whose Shoes?” Manolo dear – may we please have more examples of queens, movie stars, presidents’ wives, artists and other such women from the period of 1920 to 1960? Even if I cannot guess who they are, I will have such pleasure in gazing upon their beautiful shoes.
