The finishing school might have peaked in the 1950s but it has come back in fashion since the telly reality show Ladette to Lady. |
It would have been a natural response to an afternoon when fortunes lurched like a ladette on the mother of all binges. |
But when she's escorting viewers around St Tropez on Summer Holiday, there's no sign of the leering ladette of the late-night schedules. |
This led to a right old stooshie when the ladette, who was well-bladdered, booted him up his wazoo. |
Making Claire-Louise Cordwell's Desdemona a teenage ladette makes unexpected sense too, as she lolls around, quite innocently, on the laps of Cassio and other boys whom she has clearly known all her life. |
Tessa is a contradictory creature, almost a caricature of the modern ladette with her mobile telephone, pierced navel, and career talk. |
