ROOM
101
We caught up with Lindsay Edwards, a personal stylist from REIMAGISE, based in Biggleswade, who takes huge pride in offering a range of fun and supportive services which boosts an individual’s appearance and confidence. We met up with her to find out what she would put into Room 101…
Sticky tape
Rarely used, it spends the majority of its time bumbling around awkwardly in your kitchen drawer. When the time comes to wrap a gift, it finally surfaces to fulfil its purpose. and to make a complete show of itself (and you). As soon as a section is cut its sole intention is to stick to everything it shouldn’t, including itself. It repeatedly loses its own end, taking the assistance of several family members to find. Throughout this utter fiasco, the significant design flaw of its shape leads it to continually roll away from you. In short, it behaves like a complete annulus - I’m not being rude, look it up!
Fitting Rooms
Otherwise known as the room of doom. Once you have failed to secure privacy by pulling the - inch too short - curtain across, you will be greeted by the fulllength mirror inside. They say mirrors don’t lie, well, these ones do. As does the unnatural lighting, which highlights every lump, bump, shadow, wrinkle, blemish and facial hair you possess. At this point your fight or flight instinct will kick in… will you fight the distorted reflection and buy the top? Or flee as quickly as possible, only to be stopped by the fitting room assistant who smiles sweetly whilst asking ‘any good’?
Autocorrect
Working under the guise of being a useful tool, what it actually causes is a cringeworthy fest of typos. Gone are the days of sending a quick text. Now each text requires proof reading before sending. Or the receiver will need to spend 15 minutes trying to decipher what you actually mean. I sent a text recently asking for the receiver’s postcode ‘for sat nav purposes’ but autocorrect changed it to ‘for satanic purposes’. Cue the swiftly followed apology for typo text. Autocorrect is the technological equivalent of that irritating person who finishes everyone’s sentences. Incorrectly.
