…but I can’t.

I’ve gloved some people in my time: Rachida Dati, Michael Winnner, Grace Jones, John Sergeant. I’ve even gloved New Year’s Eve. (Not my best).

 
Black sells some lovely gloves. The Sunday Telegraph’s Stella loves our gloves. But when I see gloves like these I feel I’ve failed. Diamond-crusted gloves. What could be better? If we’re a glove retailer and we DON’T sell diamond-crusted gloves, what is our worth? What are we doing here? Who am I? Who are you?
 
I guess that’s the thing about MJ’s death. It may have created a pandemic of introspection – not necessarily sparked off by feelings of glove-range inadequacy – causing Man in The Mirror to head the iTunes Download chart.
 
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
 

Gonna go off to Swarovski (not de Beers, not yet). With these:

I'd Love To Glove Grace Jones

There was this fella on the last series of Dragons' Den who made a red and black glass sculpture of Grace Jones's head and when I lived in Hackney there was an intersecting street called Grace Jones Close, which I thought was pretty cool. You wouldn't get that kind of freedom of thought in West London street planning. The houses on the street were elegant Victorian terraces, flanked by elms so there was a lovely contrast between the avant garde and the old guard.

 

Then I saw her on television and in the Sunday Times Style (pictured). What style she has. I'd love to glove Grace Jones.
