![]() I looked down at my white shorts and oversized blue shirt and realised I’d adopted this simpler look without realising it. She had cropped blonde hair and was wearing a white dress with large black spots. The following week in Lisbon as I overlooked the city from the Bairro Alto a woman sitting on a park bench below caught my attention. One turned up in a navy sheath dress, another in oatmeal pants and the third in Missoni stripes. My pink dress felt too pink and I opted for white linen pants and a Zara cap-sleeved T-shirt in a muted blue. Then I went to Europe and getting dressed for dinner with three very stylish girlfriends I found myself unusually indecisive. I couldn’t explain it, they just felt a bit, well, floral. But when the unseasonably warm weather rolled in a few weeks ago for some reason I didn’t reach for them. I have at least half a dozen floral dresses, among my favourites a blue and white print that makes my eyes look bright blue, and an old Tigerlily maxi in such a gorgeous print I wish I could replicate it on bedlinen. If Kate wears florals – and she does – then so will the rest of the world. Plus they didn’t reckon on the Princess of Wales factor. When retailers such as the UK giant John Lewis got on board declaring there had been a vibe shift and that florals were as tired as a 10-day-old bouquet of delphiniums it was an easy translate: “We know you’ve got closets full of florals and because there’s a cost-of-living crisis we know you won’t buy another frock unless we position yours as unfashionable.”Įxcept they said it in a nicer way. In any case, attempts to raze the fashion favourite with a spray of superiority by style editors would never convince the masses. Picture: AFPĪttempts to excise them from our wardrobes would earn detractors a sharp spike. ![]() Leonie Presents Cyber Safety Talks for schools, business, and community groups.Kate chooses a print foe the school run in 2019. There are many “Talking” game apps like this. More information about the security of Talking Angela from the developers Outfit7 Here: The 2 is for nice graphics and fun ability to imitate the users voice or sounds. I guess it’s more exiting to have a conspiracy. It’s sad that many social media apps meant for adults like Kik Messenger where kids ARE actually getting contacted by adult strangers and drawn into sexual conversations and being sent and asked for nude photos and yes there is actual evidence, are not being deleted by parents. If anything positive does come out of this, it would be that parents will pay a little more attention to what apps their kids are using. Well respected blog Mashable have also spoken to the developer about the accusations which have now propelled this app to the top of the iTunes store! There’s a rumour about a man’s reflection in the eye but I think it’s simply an optical illusion brought on by an overly active imagination.īelow is a video I did showing you how Talking Angela works and showing you what some of the rumours are warning of. Snopes and Naked Security also have a post on this disputing that any of the claims are true. Is Talking Angela Safe For Kids? On first look it seems so, certainly haven’t yet seen any evidence that confirms the rumours going around. unless that’s what you are after of course… Angela the cat is quite precocious though and a little bit too sexy looking…. Such a pity that this app is so heavily monitized, because it is quite cute. I tried to annoy the cat, and to get the cat into a conversation that might be seems as provocative, and it actually brushed me off! For kids they should definitely use a made up pseudo name. ![]() But you had better watch what you say on the app. The developers assure users that they don’t keep data associated with location but use a child’s age, name to make the app work better. In the few hours that I had the app open it didn’t ask me any questions that were impertinent or really invasive. There is a “child mode” switch on the app, which prevents the text chat ability, but there is nothing to stop a child from turning it back onto adult mode. Yes you can turn off the advertising …for a price, but it will still prompt you to spend money for game coins, or watch advertisements. I wouldn’t recommend this app to any kids or parents as it, like so many apps on the online game stores, are so heavily slanted towards monitization that it comes across as mercenary. The only danger I can really see after a few hours with it on, is danger from marketing overload! After reading all the stories about the game app called “Talking Angela” rated 4+ available on iTunes and Google+ and being linked to pedophiles I decided to take a look at it.
