6 Reasons Why Housewives Get Hot Under The Collar


all photos by talented Bucharest based Catalin Tecaru

Well I'm ashamed to say my ironing efforts would be hanging in the area of 73 miles. I'm not a typical female when it comes to pulling out the ironing board sadly for my Ollie who loves me to make his shirts wrinkle free. I remember when I was starting out styling  I use to assist the fashion director for Vogue Australia she had me ironing and steaming outfits for photo shoots . I was a whiz with the steamer but the minute I was asked to iron a shirt it was always a disaster. It's the arms. No matter how many tips and tricks I've been shown I can't for the life of me make the arms wrinkle free. I guess this is one of the reasons why I moved into interiors - although ironing + advertising shoots for bedlinen is another whole post I will share with you another time.

    I've always said that I need my own wife to do the ironing. Since my husband's wife does not.

    Thanks so much for visiting my blog, which allowed me to find yours! I hope to hear your thoughts in the future :)

    PS, the Erma quote is so awesome. I'm definitely an ironing delinquent, I hate it!

    I love that quote by Erma Bombeck. I couldn't agree more with her!

    I'm not ashamed to say that i really never iron, nope nothing and most of my friends can't believe it because they iron lots and say i look no differnt. I just hang up my clothes or fold them whilst not totally crisp dry and voila. OK. Maybe for a wedding if somethings not perfect and my husband gets his shirts ironed but that's it. I save like hours of time. It's bliss!
