Women have never been satisfied with their appearance! From the innocuous application of lipstick to the drastic Brazilian Butt Lift, women have painted, squeezed, pulled, whittled, moulded and generally manipulated their body into whatever is fashionable at the time. Shape is everything - and corsetry is the chief weapon in the perfection armoury. See how ladies underwear - and other bits - have changed over the centuries and laugh at the excesses. In this light-hearted talk there are lots of delightful pictures and I bring a selection of interesting underwear items - but no trying-on allowed! Hey, there's even a liberty bodice!
Views: 1421 | Enquiries: 20I'm a retired (Science) teacher with a passion for History. I started talks after retirement, found I enjoy it. Word got around from those who had heard my presentations and I mostly have repeat bookings.
Many of my talks are accompanied by items I bring for illustration . In addition, I always bring projector, laptop (and screen if required). Illustrated talks last about one hour.
I enjoy meeting people - whether it is WI, TG, Probus, church groups or others and welcome input during talks - people often have interesting anecdotes of their own to share.
*I will travel a 10 mile radius from my home in Atherton M46, but there is an added time/fuel charge for distances over 10 miles. My aim is to provide a good morning, afternoon or evening for my audience to make their outing worthwhile.
I talk on over a dozen different topics and will be glad to send (by email) information on all of them to interested enquirers.
