Mods: The Progressives

Background on the 1960′s fashion world:

When you think of the 1960′s you most likely think of the fashion associated with Mods like shift dresses, mini skirts or go go boots as well as fashion icons like Twiggy, Jane Birkin or Nancy Sinatra. Between  the 1950′s and 1960′s there was a transition in fashion as in the 50′s fashion was focused on French designers and was controlled around the wealthy elite. But with the new decade there was the creation of youth fashion where designers focused more on what young people were wearing. The cycle of fashion changed. It went from designers being copied by retailers to sell to consumers but they were taking inspiration from people on the streets and basing their design off of them. We also saw a shift in fashion capitals, London was fashions new muse, in particular Carnaby Street and in the Soho area in general.

Notable designers of the decade would be Mary Quant, Ossie Clark, Paco Rabanne, YSL, Givenchy and Andre Courreges to name just a few. Designers worked with man made materials to create their clothes and experimented with synthetics such as PVC and Polyester. Boutiques were made popular by Mary Quant setting up her first boutique in 1955. This was so that customers could combine items whilst still being accessible in urban environments like London. 

Their seems to be a debate on who first created the mini skirt between Mary Quant and Andre Courreges when I was researching but some come to the conclusion that Andre created it whilst Quant popularised it. Breakfast at Tiffany’s was known for the black dress designed by Givenchy and created what we now know as “The Little Black Dress.” Now the most popular 60′s icons would be twiggy, Audrey Hepburn, Jean Shrimpton and Peggy Moffitt. However, people fail to mention Donyale Luna in that list, even though her impact has been important to the culture we know today. She was the first black women to appear on the cover of British Vogue and coined the first black supermodel. She also was reported as Andy Warhol’s and Salvador Dali’s muse. I recommend looking into her story.

Mods in the 1960′s:

Mods derived from the word modernists were teenagers from the baby boomer generation who’s families had benefited from the economic boom after WW2 in Britain. It was also a way to escape from the political issues that were going on at the time as they were seen as “adult problems” as it is reflected in the emphasis on being or dressing childlike as a divergence from adults. There were 3 stages of 60′s fashion. The early 60′s was the introduction of the ‘new look’ showing the new boxy silhouette that contrasts with the hourglass body type of the 50′s. Then there was the mid 60′s when the mini skirt and shift dress is introduced. In the late 60′s garments were more flowy, often associated with the hippies movement. This style was also influenced by south Asian clothing with pieces such as the Afghan coat coming from it as well as many patterns inspired from Indian clothing. 

 Bands like The Who, The Beatles and The Small Faces were influenced by this style as The Beatles were known for wearing skinny ties which were popular at the time. They were commonly associated with vespas as they were sleek and clean but also fast. A lot of teenagers preferred to go to coffee shops that opened late or jazz clubs. The style had evolved from their ancestors of the Teddy boys and ‘50s Betniks. Men’s style was influenced by suits from the Edwardian era as well as those of the French and Italian kind which were sharp and tailored. They also wore turtle necks and heavy jackets to survive UK winters.  The women also wore clean lines and bright colours and controversial above the knee hemlines (Knees! How scandalous, How horrifying!)  At the time they were seen as progressive which on reflection can seem quiet shocking for how far we have come today, even though today is far from perfect. The style to some extent was seen as quiet androgynous with women adopting short hair styles and were becoming more independent as the second wave of feminism influenced ideas of women in the 1960′s as women believed that they should build a life outside of the home. This style was quiet popular to say it was a subculture but it did also clash with the equally popular rocker crowd of the time in England.

When writing this I thought back to trends have realised that the 60′s in fashion has forever impacted culture but the mods can still be seen today in terms of trends with bright pastel colours and mini skirts being a forever staple. Although now I believe that there has grown to be subcultures but also an emphasis on personal style. There are so many icons from this decade that I wish I could all mention and explore. Not only in fashion but in music as well.

Hey guys, sorry it’s been a while, been focusing on school. I hope you are all doing well. Thank you for the love on my last post, I really appreciate it!!! Hopefully I will post more soon. 

Lots of Love,

SHE/HER / have you ever heard of HOLD ON by jonas brothers, well, it describes LILY-GRACE BELROSE to a tee! the thirty-three year old, and DRESSMAKER & DESIGNER was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say SHE is more stubborn or more IMAGINATIVE instead? anyway, they remind me of a filofax bursting at the seams, trainers instead of high heels ( to work at least ), a slightly frazzled look on her face and the scent of roses, maybe you’ll bump into them soon!

ABOUT.

Name: Lily-Grace Belrose. Nicknames: Lils. Age: Thirty-three. Date of Birth: 1st January 1990. Birthplace: Edinburgh, Scotland, UK Occupation: Dressmaker and designer. Romantic/sexual orientation: Heteroromantic/heterosexual

Lily-Grace ( or Lils to her friends ) was born in Scotland's capital, the middle child of three. If there’s one thing she can tell you, it’s that there’s no fun in being stuck in the middle. 

She never meant to resent it. Her younger sibling was the baby and could do no wrong. Her older sibling the one they were all supposed to look up to, they set the example. For a very long time she felt like nothing to her family and it was devastating.

Despite this feeling, she slowly came into her own, picking up a keen interest in sewing that she picked up from her grandma. She would often sit in her front room learning cross-stitch, being shown how to make blanket squares, that eventually formed a stunning patchwork quilt the older woman kept on her bed.

She was determined from that moment on to do something with her life. Textiles became one of her most important subjects in high school and she began to make plans for college, all of her spare time dedicated to sketching out designs and putting together patterns. She rarely ever wore clothes from the store by the time she was fifteen.

At sixteen, however, the raging teenage hormones spoiled all plans she had and she found herself falling pregnant with her current boyfriend ( love the idea of this being a Love, Rosie type situation ). It was a case of peer pressure at its finest, her mission to fit in had left her as an outcast to be judged. She chose not to stay in school and instead was home schooled through to her GCSE’s.

The baby was born not long after she turned seventeen and was put up for adoption straight away. She wanted nothing to do with any of it, she wanted to forget.

Her attentions went to her studies then, working her way through college and onto a degree at University of the Arts London. The family having moved to the city when she was three, she’d had her sights set there from an early age.

She continued to work, picking up skills where she could, and then eventually began to sell her designs online. She now has a successful business and a small studio at the back of her town house where she works and does fittings for clients.

The dream is still to open a boutique one day, but for now, it definitely works as it is.

Over the last year or so she’s been finding her mind wandering to the baby she chose to give up, wondering where they are now, what they’re doing. There’s a part of her debating whether to try and find out, but it’s a decision she’s been wrestling with.

I am campaigning my first pair of shoes for my brand & I asked babe if he thinks I should open my personal instagram back up to advertise ... he immediately said no bc none of them support you they just watch lol. 

I definitely agree but I wanted a POV from someone with a business background. Turns out we were on the same page 

No-one from my personal page supports my brand like those who dont even know me (which I've learned to accept, people who know you sometimes dont support you in fear of you surpassing them) which is one of the many reasons I am no longer on instagram and Facebook. 

I can't wait to show you guys my first pair of heels. They are simple but QUALITY. My brand is my baby that has grown across London France Australia New York and LA . 

Some days I get frustrated and its not easy running an entire Brand without any knowledge or background work, sourcing new manufactures across the world  but God didn't give me this dream and large vision only for me to quit. 

My clothes has been on 2 well known UK artist - large social media influencers and was worn to Teyana Taylors party .... and still I feel like im not going hard enough . 

My brand will be sitting with A.Wang Jacquemus Bottega & Helmut Lang by next year .  

I found my tribe of supporters who genuinely appreciate my brand, although its people who dont know me from a can of paint - that's what makes it even better. 

I am passionate about my craft, my quality speaks for itself, I am not a instagram boutique. This is something that I was born to do. I was born to create clothes for those who know true fashion.

Beyond The Boosh – The Noel Fielding Interview (Posted on November 5, 2015)

Boosh Baby: Noel Fielding is heading your way (Photo: Dave Brown)

Memorably once described by Jimmy Carr as looking like ‘Rod Stewart has made love to a raven’, that there Noel Fielding’s back out on the road this month.

Hot on the heels of a successful first couple of legs of his tour, the 42-year-old Londoner – best known for multi-award winning comedy The Mighty Boosh – continues with his An Evening with Noel Fielding tour.

This being Noel, you can expect a magical mix of his somewhat unique brand of stand-up, live animation, music and meet a few of his best-known TV characters, such as the Moon and Fantasy Man, with guest slots thrown in from the likes of Noel’s brother Michael Fielding and Tom Meeten, both familiar to Boosh fans.

Noel’s never been one to rest on his laurels, or his hardys for that matter, and as well as a successful writing partnership with Julian Barratt – the NME labelling them ‘the funniest comedy double-act in Britain’ – he’s worked on several other successful projects, not least the half-live action, half-animated Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy, which also starred several Boosh regulars and included music by Kasabian’s Sergio Pizzorno.

Then there were his roles as Cradle of Filth-loving Goth Richmond on The IT Crowd and Jones the DJ on Nathan Barley, appearances in Doll & Em, How Not to Live Your Life, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Comic Relief Does Top of the Pops, The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, his long-running team captaincy on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and a little film work too.

As a solo performer, 2002’s Perrier Award-nominated debut show Voodoo Hedgehog also helped cement his live reputation, and then there were the art exhibitions – Psychedelic Dreams of the Jelly Fox and Bryan Ferry vs. the Jelly Fox – and his Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton book of old and new paintings, drawings and photography.

But it was his link-up with Julian Barratt that made Noel’s name, first bringing to life Howard Moon and Vince Noir in the upstairs room of a North London pub, the Booshmaking their Edinburgh Festival debut in 1998, winning the Perrier Award for Best Newcomer, further Edinburgh live shows and more awards following.

By 2001 the duo were commissioned by the BBC to write and star in a six-part comedy series for Radio 4 that won the Douglas Adams Award, their first TV series aired on BBC Three in 2004, soon moving to BBC2.

The awards and re-commissions continued, 2005’s series two leading to the duo’s first nationwide live tour, overwhelming public demand seeing the dates double in size, performing to some 100,000 punters and culminating in a sell-out five-night recorded run at Brixton Academy. A third series followed in late 2007 and a second UK live tour, Future Sailors, involved 100 arena performances, playing to more than a quarter of a million fans.

Untitled Sequence: Noel Fielding with Alan Davies and co on As Yet Untitled (Photo: Dave)

Fast forward to today, and Noel remains something of a regular on our TV sets, most recently spotted by this scribe on Alan Davies’ As Yet Untitled for Dave, where he told a rather compelling, typically-entertaining story about his brief spell in retail down in Brighton.

“Oh my God, I know! I recently saw Kevin Bishop from Star Stories, and we have a mutual friend, Dolly Wells, from Doll and Em, and we were with her, chatting about our absolute nightmare stories from when we got too drunk, and got on to that. That was a long time ago. I’m not even sure if that shop’s still there. If it is, I’d love to go in and say hello.”

Might that be the retirement plan one day – a move away from this business called show to take on a busy boutique somewhere?

“Do you know what? The reason we actually did that in the last Boosh series, when we had this second-hand shop, was because I thought it would be quite fun to work in a second-hand shop. I don’t know why. It’s probably really hard work, but … maybe. And I’ve got enough clothes that I could easily do that. It wouldn’t even make a dent in my collection.”

Perhaps you should start collecting envelopes now, unless you go on a till-training course.

“Exactly, or use some sort of barter system.”

Meanwhile, the live work continues, Noel now embarked upon on a month-long leg of his current tour. I take it – I ask – he’s enjoying the live experience.

“Yeah. I loved doing it the first time, with quite a big tour here, then went to Australia and New Zealand. That was really good fun. There were places we didn’t quite reach, first time, so we thought it might be nice to do another month and hit all those.

“And the shows got better and better. When we first went out in England, we’d just written it, so there were a few teething problems. By the time we got to Australia for that second phase, it was much stronger. So I’m hoping that phase three … this is where it takes!”

Mighty Alrighty : Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding (Photo: The Mighty Boosh!)

I’m guessing you know the set well enough to comfortably come off-plan?

“Totally! It’s a bit jazzy. It allows pockets of improvisation, I suppose. But there are a lot of points I have to hit. There’s stand-up in it, and the Moon’s got an alter-ego, a Dark Side. There are a few new characters, some sketchy stuff and some songs, and animation.”

Are you good at remembering what you’ve come up with on the night, or do you have moments where you did something good but can’t quite recall what?

“Weirdly, comedians never forget a joke. It’s the oddest thing. I can’t remember anything else, but I’ll never forget a joke! Somehow it comes back to you, and comedians never throw anything away.

”In the second half, there’s a break and then – after an hour of material – you have to introduce some sort of narrative, otherwise it gets a bit boring. I like to mix it up live. I can see comedians and they’re absolutely brilliant, but sometimes after 50 minutes I’ve had enough if it’s just stand-up.

“I was determined not to do that. I’ll do 45 minutes or so then make it more sketchy, or more cabaret-like, bring in some music, bring others on stage, some animation, then in the second half really get some narrative going.

“To raise it from there, I go and chat to the crowd. That makes it a bit more exciting and zingy. At the end, we bring someone on from the crowd, and they go into the animation. So hopefully there’s something for everyone.

“It’s a long show, but we work very hard at it, and if you work really hard at a live show you don’t have to worry so much about it when you take it out on tour. It’s quite knackering being on tour, so you don’t want to just be constantly fixing or tweaking stuff to make it work for you.”

Some would have you down as an improviser above all else, but you can’t be just that. There must be some preparation.

“You have to a little bit … yeah. Me and Russell (Brand) were talking about an unplanned show, because we’re both quite good at that. But there’s something slightly unsatisfying about a show that’s completely improvised. It can never be as good.”

Mannequin Madness: Noel Fielding and a friend, live

It seems to work with yourself and Russell though.

“Well, we did a Royal Albert Hall gig for the Teenage Cancer Trust, in which we literally had a few bullet points – that’s all! It was like, ‘Oh my God, this could be an absolute disaster!’ But somehow we always managed. I think you can if there’s an audience there, playing off them.”

Isn’t that just a special vibe with Russell? Could you even do that with Julian, as well as you know him?

“I think we could a bit, but with Julian it’s very jazzy. He likes to know what the theme is.”

There’s no obvious foil with you two. You’re both a bit off-kilter.

“The thing with Julian is he likes to know what he’s doing, go off then come back. He’s obsessed with Miles Davis, whereas with me and Russell, we’re quite free-form. There’s not even a script to begin with. We’re jumping off an invisible script at the same time! It can be good, can be quite chaotic, but occasionally you need a little bit of structure.”

You mentioned music links in the show, there was the Never Mind the Buzzcocks team captain’s role, and you have a few celebrity mates from that world. If you had a chance to nip back to any time in the history of music, which band do you wish you could have slotted in with?

“It would have to be the ‘70s, in the days of glam probably … or prog. Marc Bolan’s band, or a proggy rock band like Hawkwind. I love all that stuff, and Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. Me and Julian were obsessed with all that – the dressing up and the weird psychedelic, frightening stuff.

“It’s a bit conservative now, and I feel a little sorry for the kids. When you’re young it’s quite fun to dress up. I should imagine going to a Ziggy Stardust concert would have been pretty good if you all dressed up and went out together. Now, there’s not so much of that going on. Or maybe there is but I just don’t know about it. There certainly doesn’t seem to be too much ‘out there’ stuff.”

I’d personally steer clear of all The Rocky Horror Show type scene, but could see you in Beefheart or early Roxy Music.

Pleasure Seekers: Roxy Music in 1973, from the gatefold sleeve of their For Your Pleasure LP. Noel Fielding not yet added.

“I absolutely love Roxy Music! Then again, The Rocky Horror Show stuff is sort of amazing, and people love to join in with all that. Something like that today would go down so well, when people are more used to being in front of a camera or being in the limelight now.”

We heard it here first, eh?

“Yeah! Well, it was your idea!”

On a similar note, do you think you could have taken on being a full-time art teacher?

“I make a joke about that! I dunno, I like the art side a lot – paintings and animation, so it was good we were able to bring a bit of that into our live shows and with Julian, as with the music. But I don’t know if I would have been happy just doing that. I did a little teaching when I was at sixth form, and there’s something quite amazing about that.”

Perhaps you’d have been happy if you could have done that by day, and played in a glam or prog band by night.

“Maybe that would have been okay! There’s something quite rewarding about teaching. Kids are very open to learning.”

What were you like at school? Were you the quiet one, waiting for a moment to tap all these ideas?

“I was quite shy, but good at painting quite early on, so I think it was always felt I would go on and do that. The idea of performing was probably a bit frightening. I probably said maybe I was going to be a comedy writer.

“Then I started reading lots and realised I might have to do some stand-up, which seemed quite horrifying to me at the time. I did a few gigs at art college and they sort of went okay, so I thought I’d give myself a year when I left art school to go on the dole, try and get housing benefit, and do as many gigs as I could and see what happens.

“As it turned out, it all happened quite quickly. I think in my heart I felt I could do it. I had friends who were much more gregarious, outgoing and better performers, but maybe they didn’t have as much writing behind them. I had a whole backlog. You can get a certain way on performance and character alone, but you really need a lot of ideas.”

Buzzcocks Banter: Noel, right, with Phill Jupitus, left, and Rhod Gilbert on the Never Mind the Buzzcocks set (Photo: BBC)

There have been several key moments along the way – like meeting Julian, or Bill Bailey asking if you’d like to try Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

“I know! In a way, you can’t control stuff. It’s weird. When you’re looking for it, it never really happens. The thing with meeting Julian – I don’t think that will ever happen again. Now we’ve not done the Boosh for a while, it’s clear how much people love that show and how special our relationship was. Double acts are few and far between anyway, but good ones are like unicorns – they just don’t exist.”

Don’t tell my youngest daughter that, I add, before Noel continues.

“With Julian we had a natural chemistry and could write together, which was pretty insane. You then think, I’ll be able to do that with lots of other people, but you can’t actually … or at least only to a degree.”

Seeing as you mentioned unicorns there, can you really talk to the animals, you’re your character, Mowgli in flares?

“I do have a weird sort of affinity with animals, although I’m not that bothered. My girlfriend loves animals, but they always bite or sting her, even jellyfish. With me, they always seem to love me, especially dogs. They tend to follow me about, and I’m like, ‘Look, come on, I’ve told you!’

Speaking of your other half – radio presenter Lliana Bird – have you any ambitions to do a bit more DJing – like Jones on Nathan Barley. Or are there already too many of those in your house?

“I think there are too many. I’d like to do a bit more acting, if something interesting came along. But it would have to be more interesting than whatever I was writing. That’s always going to be the case, unless what you’re offered is unusual.”

Personally, I’d love to see you and Russell come up with, as mooted a while ago by the tow of you, The Goth Detectives.

“I’d like to do that as well! But Russell’s quite hard to pin down, now he’s gone political. I’ve not seen him for a while.”

Goth Detectives: Russell Brand and Noel Fielding (Photo: http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/)

I guess we all expect the two of you to be partying all the time, but I guess the reality of it is probably quite tame – a cup of coffee and some Digestives perhaps?

“Well, especially with Russell. He hasn’t drunk for years. He likes a coffee, yeah – a coffee and mung beans! I don’t know what he’s up to at the moment. He’ll have something up his sleeve though.”

I was talking to Steve Diggle from the Buzzcocks the other day. I didn’t dare mention I had you up next though, in case he expected royalties from the makers of Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

“I do see him occasionally. He must live around here.”

He told me he lived quite close to Noel Gallagher actually.

“Really? I think I saw him around Highgate way. They’re an amazing band, aren’t they. But it’s gutting that Never Mind The Buzzcocks has been cancelled now.”

I must have missed that announcement. Apparently so – after 18 years, 28 series and nearly 270 episodes.

“Yeah. That’s really annoying. I loved doing that, and loved working with Phill (Jupitus) as well.”

Do you see Phill – who memorably described Noel as ‘a gothic George Best’ – socially outside of the show?

“We’re mates, yeah. He’s such a lovely dude, a good artist as well. We send each other art books and things. A lovely man.”

Many moons ago, when he was doing his stint with Go! Discs and I was writing my Captains Log fanzine, I’m pretty sure I received something from his office, and he’d signed a compliments slip in his Porky the Poet guise. Unfortunately, I think it’s long gone now.

“Actually, I think he might actually have started doing some poetry again, in Edinburgh last year.”

Who do you think the real Noel Fielding is closest to, character-wise – Richmond Avenal or Vince Noir? Or maybe the Moon?

“It was Vince, but I might be getting too old now. I’m getting like the Moon now, forgetting stuff, getting stuff wrong. Those characters I think were the ones that were probably the closest to me, rather than the scary ones like Old Gregg.

“I did like The Hitcher though, because it allowed me to play a slightly more evil character … or as evil as I can go. I’m not very evil naturally. When Julian goes evil, like with The Crack Fox, it’s really quite horrifying. But he’s quite sweet as well.”

I mention a wonderful visual gag on The IT Crowd where someone comes to look for Richmond in the office, and he’s hiding on the ceiling. Was that one of Noel’s ideas?

“Erm … I don’t think it was. I think it was one of Graham (Linehan)’s, but he was very generous and let us have a lot of ideas for our characters. I seem to think I was very hungover when I did that scene, and nearly vomiting.

“But when Graham said he was interested in talking to me about the part, I had an idea straight away for the voice. There was a documentary about Pink Floyd, live in Pompeii, and it made me laugh the way they were very posh … (Noel switches to his Richmond voice) because Goths are often quite posh.

“Cockneys or chavs would never dress like Goths, really. I was a bit of a chav myself, but think the working classes like to dress a bit more smart, like Mods, whereas I imagine most New Romantics and Goths were middle class.”

Is that right you shared a flat with Lee Mack?

“Yeah … years ago. We lived together for two years running in Edinburgh, for six weeks or so while we were doing the Festival. Me and Julian, Lee and another comedian one year, then the year after it was me, Julian, all the Boosh, Lee, and someone else.

“Those days were quite fun. It’s the only time you ever live with other comedians. Some of them can be quite annoying, but Lee is probably the funniest person I’ve ever known. Or maybe it’s between Rich Fulcher (Bob Fossil in the Boosh) and Lee. They’re both unbelievable.”

Edinburgh Flatmate: Lee Mack

Can Lee ever switch off?

“No. It’s like a disease. Really entertaining, and nice to live with, but me and him trying to make a cup of tea was unbelievable. It was the Chuckle Brothers meets Laurel and Hardy. Literally, you’ve never met two people less equipped to deal with real life!”

Finally, who do you think you’re closest to of all the past comics. I see the wonderful Spike Milligan mentioned a fair bit.

“I love Spike. I would never compare myself to him, but love his sense of being quite child-like. And I’d like to write children’s books, as he did. I have an idea. I also love Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Julian and I always thought we were quite like them. We always felt we had an affinity with them.

“The Pythons are amazing too. Really, it’s the classics – Spike and The Goons, Pete and Dud, Python, Vic and Bob, The League of Gentlemen, then us. But I’ve probably left out a lot of my friends there! Blackadder and The Young Ones are in there somewhere.”

Fiction: The Devil Wears Sarong Kebaya by Peter Soh

I loathed the sweltering heat since small, but it didn’t stop people from coming here. The street in front of my house, Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, seethed with tourists almost every day.

When I was a kid, I often waved to people taking respite from the scorching sun in the goh kaki of our house. They took in the colourful English tiles on the walls and touched the intricately carved window panels. They asked my amah, the maidservant of our house, the meaning of the word inscribed on the jee hoe hung above our main door. My amah, Muijie, who looked after me 24/7, found the tourists rude peeking into our house. She shooed them away in her Cantonese accent and shut the doors.

Only a handful of tourists interacted with me. Muijie would say nothing if I wasn’t crying, but she would give a disapproving look with her sharp eyes if the unwelcomed guests stayed at the five-foot way for too long. She always told me strangers carried germs and I shouldn’t play with them.

I was too young to understand what germs was and continued to play with anyone standing on the goh kaki. After all, no one in the house played with me. Muijie was no exemption, and I figured she had no position in our house as everyone in the house, including my doting mama, called her by her name, Mui Fong. Only mummy called her Muijie and she told me to address the same to show my respect. I learnt from mummy that ‘jie’ means ‘sister’ in Cantonese.

Whenever I cried, Muijie would assume mother figure even though maidservants like her had taken the vow of celibacy to not get married for the rest of their lives. She combed her hair into a neat bun just like mama’s except that she did not stick in flower garlands nor cucuk sanggul. She simply secured her chignon with a hairnet and hairpins.

Whenever she swore at the people who made me cry, I found her dramatic gestures amusing and I would stop crying and start laughing. Her manoeuvres combined cadences and actions. She would stomp out to the goh kaki in her wooden clogs, and left hand on waist, she pointed her white handkerchief and lashed out in a concoction of Cantonese and Malay patois I could never comprehend.

Except the word ‘babi’. I knew it meant ‘pork’ because mummy always cooked babi pongteh for me. Braised pork was among the few non-spicy dishes served in the house, and I had no idea why Muijie spat the word ‘babi’ to people.

“Who else can defy mama’s order to call the ponderous servant Muijie if you give birth not to a boy?” said Aunty Sarah, my tua ee, whenever mummy was in the living room overseeing me with Muijie. Aunty Sarah was mummy’s eldest sister and I could sense she didn’t like me because she never hugged me. But she said nothing and would play with me when mama was present. I deduced that those who wore their hair up were fierce.

Although our street was named after Tun Tan Cheng Lock whose ancestral house was at House 111, mama preferred its Dutch name, Heeren Street. ‘Heeren’ means ‘gentlemen’ and mama adored the Dutch word, for it served as a reminder to us, the baba nyonya, to always be gentle, soft-spoken, and cultured.

Fond of this name, mama’s father, my kong cho, bought this house and built his family here. Mama was born here, and unlike the Chinese ladies who stayed with the husband’s family after they got married, for the baba nyonya family it is the other way around. Hence, mama, mummy and her sisters, including Aunty Sarah, all stayed under the same roof even though they were all married.

Perhaps the house could no longer accommodate more ladies in the house that a male—which was me—was born to relieve the situation.

Mama showered me with toys, a gold anklet, and a jade-and-gold talisman that bore the image of a ferocious carp for warding off evil spirits. I had never seen any of my cousins wearing the same talisman. They wore small bronze cylinders with floral motif and less elaborate craftsmanship. My bib was a colourful cross-stitch sewn by mama while my cousins’ were plain pink fabric. The fabric of my Chinese New Year clothes were bought in Arab Street in Singapore and never from the merchant who sold fabric door to door. Mama never uttered a word when Muijie had to coax me to finish my food while mama didn’t hesitate to admonish my cousins for eating too slow.

“Go to your room to learn how to stitch. If you can’t stitch, how are you going to do beading next?” mama said crossly.

Though I was very much pampered by mama, I had never seen her smile. She always pulled a serious face and never spoke much. She either cooked in the kitchen or stayed in the room to look after me. I was never allowed to join my cousins or enter their rooms. She threatened to throw my toys away if I ever went near them, especially Aunty Sarah. And I never managed to go near them even when mummy wasn’t in the house. Muijie would carry me back to my room or bring me to the front hall to look at the crowd. She tailed after me all the time and she did whatever mummy would do: cook, clean the house and look after me—except scold me.

It wasn’t long before I knew I had to move out from the ancestral house. When mama passed away one morning, papa decided to bring mum and me to the United Kingdom for good. Papa didn’t bother to explain or maybe I was too small to understand when papa broached his decision. I just knew we were leaving after mama was laid to rest and Muijie was to stay in the house to take care of the remaining family.

I was only five when I left Heeren Street, thinking that the plane would fall if fat people were on board.

*

The façade of the house looked bleak and uninviting. Patches of mildew decorated the walls instead of English tiles. The two ring-shaped copper door handles had gone rusty and the gilded window panels were replaced with metal poles. The house looked out of place compared to the many boutique hotels, museums, and restaurants that lined the street.

“Are you sure this is the house?” I asked father.

“Don’t be ridiculous. You stayed here before.” Father wasn’t impressed with my question. He took a deep breath before knocking.

No one responded. Father knocked again. This time, louder.

“Coming!”

Though faint, the voice was familiar. And before I could figure who, the door swung open.

Though wrinkles embedded themselves in her forehead and her hair had turned white, I recognised her. She was still plump and her hair remained impeccably combed. The only difference was her white hair had made her black hairnet and hairpins visible. And she walked with a slower gait.

“Muijie!” mum called out.

Muijie stood at the entrance and squinted to inspect the lady in sarong kebaya. There was a tinge of awkwardness between us.

“Oh! Siu nai nai! Oh gosh, I barely recognise you! You never put on the sarong kebaya before this! You look so pretty, adui! This sarong was bought for you by mama, right? What brings you here? You have been gone for almost 20 years!”

Before any of us could speak, Muijie glanced at us and continued her babbling.

“This must be gu yeh! You did not change at all. You are always looking dashing in your business suit. Come, give me your jacket. I wash it for you. You must sweat a lot just now. The weather is getting hotter nowadays.”

Muijie moved to pick father’s dark blue jacket on his hand but I held her hands.

“Muijie,” I said.

She looked up at me. I shook my head, to forbid her from cleaning the jacket. It seemed she couldn’t make out who I was for a few seconds if not for the presence of father and mum.

“You are…Ben. No no, I shall call you siu yeh zai,” Her hands shook.

I nodded and smiled. “Yeah, I am Ben. How are you, Muijie?”

“I almost can’t recognise you. But I have a hunch it’s you. You have grown so tall and handsome like your father. How are you doing at what is that place? England? You must be speaking like one of those ang mo now. Wait wait wait. Baba speaks good English. I think they learn more from you. Am I right, siu yeh zai?”

Muijie couldn’t stop patting my arms and conjuring her own narrative of our life in the UK. It had been 20 years since mama passed away. I couldn’t blame her for her imagination because I couldn’t even remember much of the happenings in this house, let alone imagine the lives of those people staying here.

I only remembered there were lots of ladies in the house but only mother and Muijie were close to me. Mama rarely played with me as she was busy chewing sireh or playing cherki with her friends. She would buy me sweets and treat mother to colourful sarongs from Indonesia whenever she won the mahjong-like game. My cousins were always hiding in their room doing what mama instructed—stitching.

“Who are those people? I told you not to simply open the door. Can’t you understand my language? Macam babi!” berated a lady walking towards the door.

“Siu nai nai has come back, dai siu nai! They have come back from what is that country? Eng… England!”

In a white blouse and sarong, the lady looked like mama.

It was Aunty Sarah.

*

“What happened to the family plaque? Don’t you know it is a great shame to have the jee hoe taken down? And where are the rest of the family?”

“Look at who is speaking now.” Aunty Sarah jeered. “You are not the matriarch of this family but I am. I can do whatever I want. Nampak-nampak dah kurang ajair sekarang. Remember your rank in this house and don’t be rude.”

Even though our house in the UK was far from looking like those in Heeren Street, the jee hoe formed the spirits of the baba nyonya family. Even though we didn’t have one in our UK home, I learnt its importance quickly.

“Mo kasi jee hoe jato, is it?” was one of mother’s admonition whenever I misbehaved when young. It is a rhetorical question if one would like the family plaque to fall down. The jee hoe implies the family aspirations and beliefs and one should live up to its expectations and protect the family name at all costs. It was no wonder why mother questioned the whereabouts of the family’s jee hoe as it wasn’t hung at the entrance anymore.

“I sold it,” Aunty Sarah said evenly. “We needed the money.”

“What do you mean by you needed money? We willingly left the house so that you can take over the house willed to us. We did not take a single cent distributed to us. And chau works as well. Your husband’s salary is a bonus for your monthly expenses. What do you mean by you needed money?”

“Things changed. Just like who you are. You didn’t even put on the sarong kebaya when mother was alive. What did you say that time? What–nist? Feminist?” Aunty Sarah scoffed. “You thought you could change the world after reading some magazines. How ambitious. Look at you now. Back to this house again. And putting on an archaic costume.”

“That’s none of your business, ta chi,”

“Then why are you here?”

“UK may face lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak,” father chimed in. “And since Ben has just graduated, we thought this is a good time to come back after all these years, to take a short break.”

Aunty Sarah didn’t look at father. She looked straight into mother’s eyes. “You think this is a resort?”

“This is our ancestral home. I was born here just like you. And I gave birth to my baby in this house too! And this was my house actually! Not yours!”

Mother couldn’t contain herself. She raised from the mother-of-pearl chair and gazed at mama’s portrait on the wall. I remembered seeing this photo at mama’s funeral. Mother told me that mama liked this photo because people could see her giant kerosang thoh. The brooch used for fastening her baju panjang was indeed spectacular. I could tell it was quite heavily encrusted with stones.

But nothing was heavier than two sisters estranged from each other.

*

This was my first time stepping into Muijie’s room. It was as simple as her black-and-white attire. Besides a bed and a wardrobe, she had only a small table with a mirror, some hairpins, and a bottle of what seemed to be hair oil to me.

“Is this all you have?” I gasped.

“Yes. I don’t need so many things. The only time I am here is when I go to bed.” Muijie was folding her blouses and pants.

“Can you stop working for a while? I have so many things to ask you.”

Muijie stopped folding. She took a deep breath and turned to me.

“Take this, siu yeh zai. This room is very hot.” Muijie passed me a fan from her bed. “What do you want to ask?”

I lowered my voice. “What happened to the people in this house? And why are you still here? Where are the other maids?”

Muijie looked at me with a helpless smile. I could tell life was not easy for the past two decades. She came all the way from Canton to Malaya by herself at 16 and worked for several families before joining ours as a veteran amah. Our household was impeccably clean and she could remember each and everyone’s names, birthdays, favourite foods, medical conditions, and their foibles. Mama doted on Muijie so much that she cleared the remaining debts of Muijie’s voyage to Malaya and Muijie in return stayed working for us until her final day. And no one could call her Muijie even though she was the majordomo in the house.

That was the deal from mama. Muijie accepted it with no qualms. After all, no amah could spend her final days in her master’s house as it was deemed to bring bad luck. It was uncharacteristic for an amah to be assured a place to work and die in. Muijie surrendered herself to the deal, even though this could mean that some maids would take advantage and abdicate their responsibility, and show no respect to her. Rather than having no food, Muijie gave up her dignity.

“They have left the house. They are working for other families now,” Muijie slowly coughed out the stories.

“And where are ee teoh? And other aunties, uncles and their kids?”

“Your other aunties have moved out from the house as well.”

“Why?”

“Ever since your mama passed away, no one wanted to keep up with the traditions in this household. They sold the furniture and those precious paraphernalia to the antique collectors and moved to Singapore. Except those in the front hall. Dai siu nai said we should keep a few in case anyone visits the house. But no one visits the house. Till now. Who wants to come to a house that looks like a ghost house? I keep scrubbing the mildew off the wall but they grow back quickly! Especially when it keeps raining for days!”

“Then where is ee teoh? He should be here with tua ee, isn’t it?”

Muijie looked at me.

“Where is he?” I pressed for an explanation.

“Look at you. Still the same. No one can stop you from getting what you want.”

“Stop teasing me, Muijie. Tell me where is ee teoh? Did he die already? I don’t see an additional plaque in the ancestral hall just now.”

Muijie snatched my fan and knocked my head. “Choy choy choy. Spit before you say anything again.”

“I am sorry. I am just curious. I don’t remember seeing him when I was small.”

“Tai gu yeh is a businessman and he rarely comes back. He was here during your mama’s funeral but I guess you were too young to remember.”

“Is he coming back anytime soon?”

“I doubt it.”

“Why?”

Uneasiness welled up in Muijie’s face. I could tell there was more than just business trips.

I leaned forward and looked at her, conveying it safe to unlock any secret.

“Tai gu yeh will never come back because…” she paused. Muijie took a deep breath and rattled on. “…because he has a baby with his mistress!”

The door swung open. Aunty Sarah had let her hair down, and she looked ghastly under the kerosene. She lurched and slapped Muijie with all her might.

“You are leaving the house by tomorrow morning, do you hear me?”

“I am sorry, tai siu nai. I am sorry! I won’t tell this to anyone anymore. No, no. I mean I don’t know about this. I don’t know where is tai gu yeh. Please, please don’t chase me away. I have nowhere to go. Please, tai siu nai. Please…”

Muijie cried and knelt for forgiveness. I remained rooted to the spot and didn’t know what to do. I didn’t dare to look at Aunty Sarah, to avoid confrontation. I sweated and wished she would go back to her room.

“You want to stay here?” Aunty Sarah sneered.

“Yes. Yes. I can do all you want. Please. Don’t chase me away.” Muijie couldn’t stop sobbing. Snot dripped with her tears.

“You can stay here if I die! I don’t want to see you tomorrow! Go away!”

Aunty Sarah kicked Muijie and left the room. Muijie muffled her cries, covering her mouth. I felt bad for her.

“Muijie, she won’t chase you away. You will be here. You are the best amah in this house. She won’t kick you out.” I tried my best to comfort Muijie but deep down, I was frightened to death. Mother is going to lambaste me for my tactlessness. Why am I digging my own shit hole?

*

Just a few more hours to 6a.m. but I couldn’t sleep. I had made a huge mistake and had jeopardised Muijie’s work. No, it was her life. She had lived here for 30 years and where she could go?

I was engulfed with remorse. Father and mother still had no idea what their good-for-nothing son had done. Mother was going to chastise me for breaking the family’s jee hoe this time.

I went down to check on Muijie. I wanted to make sure she was sleeping. I wanted to let her know I would do my best to rectify the situation and she should not worry.

Muijie wasn’t in her room. Did she leave the house already?

I opened her wardrobe—her clothes were still there.

She is definitely in the house. Maybe she is in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

I went to the kitchen but there was no sign of her.

Where could she be? Ah! She must be with Aunty Sarah to beg for forgiveness.

I headed to Aunty Sarah’s room and I was right. The kerosene was not put out yet. Someone was inside.

I was puzzled at the sight.

Muijie was sitting on someone and with a sarong in hand, she covered the nose and the mouth of someone on the bed. I couldn’t hear anything but I could now see Aunty Sarah struggling to push Muijie off her.

It wasn’t long before she stopped moving. I stood horrified and I had yet to process what I had witnessed.

“Now I can stay here,” was all I could glean before running back to my room, not caring what would happen next.
