The information might be quite out of date now, but I was told - by a man wearing an opera cloak, that he needed white gloves as he would be dancing with ladies in low cut dresses. He was standing between a taxi and a closed shop at the time, staring fixedly at the white suede gloves I was wearing with the fluffy white coat, navy blue maxi dress and white leather boots.

Of course he might have been someone making a living conning gloves from people, but they were too big for me anyway, and rather a nuisance to keep clean.

That would have been - I think - 1970.
