You're all exaggerating in a ridiculous nimbyish EDF way.


Or so I thought till I went in today to see what all the fuss was about. Good grief - gaudy tat only begins to cover it; actually worse than the website. Wonder what will move in there in six months? (Mind you, what do I know: I didn't think the shoe shop in North Cross Road would survive either. Though I think that one's more of a yummy mummy hobby business really - something to do while Jemima's at nursery.)

OHMYGOD!


I popped into this shop today, and it looks like the kind of place where Barbara Windsor and Joan Collins purchased footwear. It is very Walworth Road mid 1980's. I am sure that the staff are lovely, but what were they thinking, opening on Lordship Lane in this decade? I feel traumatised for the poor investors. I need to lie down.

Davina Shoes. Hmmmmm... Shiny Patent Buckled bad taste. Did Davina do ANY market research I wonder. Maybe she did? There are plenty of hairdressers and estate agents on LL who are all known for their impeccably bad dressing. Ill fitting suits (there's her next shop perhaps?) Over 'done' hairdresser hair. A penchant for pink. Visible muffin tops (thats the usually rather flabby mid-riff above trouser top and below tummy button...) and the high high shiny shiny shoes with big shiny buckles . It is a great shame that the shop is at the head of North X Road , very visible and very um... pink. Alas, 'taste' is an individual thing and everyone is of course entitled to regard their own very little world of taste the best. However, having said that, I DECLARE DAVINA AINT GOT NONE.

not just hookers.

they have lelli kellis in the window, which any girl between 5 and 10 will tell you are sparkly impractical pointless objects of desire for children, with their own tv ad campaign, Davina's got them in the window, so maybe she ain't no fool after all? I will of course be distracting my female offspring with organic fruit as we stroll past that shop.



the thing that does confuse me is the name. Davina Boutique, like boutique is her surname, good surname if you want to sell clothes/shoes. Or like she is a small personalised fashionable version of herself. mmmmmm

I am wondering if anyone has bought anything in said shop.


Furthermore, it would be interesting to hear from the proprietor or manager of this shop to hear why they felt this area needed a shop like that. It is in such a prime - as far as East Dulwich is concerned - location too! I have only peered through the window in a flabbergasted and rather aghast state. I think I may pop in and potter around next time.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
