FASHION

Fashion Editor Pepe Sofianos snaps up the best fake-leather biker jackets.

Babe in a biker jacket - who can forget Sandra Dee’s transformation from prissy prom queen to big-time punk princess in Grease?

Once upon a time, biker jackets were the territory of those hairy, tattooed blokes on Harleys - the ones you didn’t take home to meet the folks! Now the motorcycle jacket has evolved into a fashion must. It’s an instant style boost with its unmistakable surfeit of zips, snaps, studs and hardware plus quilted patches in that boxy arrogant mannish cut that simply goes with everything and suits everyone.

musthave Red collarless jacket with padded sleeve detail, R699, Truworths.

s t y le

HOW TO WEAR THE BIKER JACKET: Be the grunge queen with a bare midriff look and tightfitting cropped moto jacket and low-slung shredded jeans.

Thick black jacket with detachable faux fleece collar, R1249, Topshop at Edgars.

Tan jacket with epaulettes and double front zippers, R1399, Sissy Boy at Foschini.

Black heavy-weight classic jacket, R999, Re at Woolworths.

Dark brown bomber jacket with ribbed collar and cuffs, R699, Outback Red at Truworths.

GO FOR PLEATHER

.

Yes, real genuine leather is the top prize but set your sights on pleather or leather–look as: a) it’s ethically better for your karma and b) it’s so much better on your pocket.

The biker is the only jacket you’ll never tire of and certainly won’t part with it. Ever!

THE LITTLE RED HEN TEACHING HELPFULNESS

Who will help me mix the dough and bake the muffins?

We will, we will ! And so they did……..

They all helped to bake delicious muffins. What fun !!!

Waiting to mix the dough.

….and into the oven it goes.

Carefully into the muffin pan.

Future master chefs at work.

Into our tummies

What did we learn from all this ?

1.Work hard - The hen wasn’t afraid of hard work even if nobody else on the farm would help her 2. Ignore naysayers – The other farm animals told the little red hen that she was crazy to work hard while they were lazing about and having fun.

3. Fairness – The animals who didn’t share in the work didn’t earn any of the bread.

4. Rewards – Hard work pays great rewards in the end. The Little Red Hen had some delicious bread to eat and share with her family while the other animals had nothing.
