Hi Bro and Kirstin, so your going native, kimono's has not reached the essex high street fashion as yet but you could always start a new trend once you are back, i'm sure the Buckhursthill girls would look great with their faces powdered white instead of the usual orange glow. it's sunday night mum is over, just having a glass of wine waiting for strickly to come on, I'm sure this sounds really exciting but to us this is as good as it gets!!
