Channel your inner smurf

I just passed a woman in the street who was wearing knee-high bright blue stockings, a blue top with a white vest top over it, a white skirt, and pale blue shoes. It says something about the nature of Dutch fashion that I can't work out whether this is a genuine "outfit" or if she's on her way to a fancy-dress party as Smurfette.

All I can add is that the heat must melt brain cells. Either that or we're sacrificing them en masse to the second-hand pot smoke billowing out of tourists' mouths and nostrils these days.

In any case, there really should be a bad-attempt-at-fashion-tax, and we should be the ones to administer the punishment.

There ought to be stickers you can hand to people (or afix to their backs) that say "Your outfit really offends me" - or words to that effect!
