Korean womens' clothing is horrid, cutesy and childlike or built for ajumas- nothing in between. All I want are shirts without ruffles bows, or large patterns, and pants hemmed to the propper length. By the way, I get complimented on my clothes all the time, by foreigners and Koreans

But Lewisham? LEWISHAM? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? Yates Wine Lodge? WHAT A SHIIT HOLE!!! Mind you, the only surrounding areas are Catford - mmmm, not today thanks, don't want to get shot, Deptford - no thanks, I want to drive home in MY car tonight thanks, Blackheath - getting better and Greenwich which isn't bad at all. But LEWISHAM? And DRESSED UP? Laughing Laughing

Lewisham is not very nice, a bit pikey, somewhat dangerous, and full of dirty Saff-East London MONKERS* in Lycra. Nobody really dresses well there, particularly the patrons of the Royal British Legion. But some of the foreigners in Korea make these same very patrons look like GQ centrespreads in Allessandrini couture.
