| 0:00.0 | It was my generation who were hard on ourselves saying you can't wear this and you can't wear |
| 0:05.5 | that. Your daughter would never judge somebody by whether they're showing their knees or their |
| 0:12.2 | arms or their stomach. And these talking about wearing oversized coats, you know, I was always told |
| 0:17.6 | you'll drown in that. They would never, they don't use the word drowning in |
| 0:21.8 | clothes. I mean, all these limitations were brought in by my age group. My generation enforced |
| 0:27.7 | rules. There are no rules. Well, Joe Good is, according to her own Instagram bio, an actress, |
| 0:36.1 | a broadcaster and a show-off. I love it. So what can we |

| 1:59.7 | television fashion guru. So how did that all happen? Well, |
