Shoulders are interesting things. Husband, Son and I all have wide shoulders. Before Husband became so ill, he had a bit of a weight-lifter appearance but as he has ankylosing spondylitis as well as Parkinson’s, he is very bent over now. And before Son’s scoliosis got the better of him, he had the look of an athlete, but pre-surgery, one shoulder was much lower than the other so he had begun to look a little bit deformed when seen with his shirt off. As for me, despite the fact that shoulder pads are back ‘in’ (I know this from having read the fashion magazines in the hotel the other day), I will not need them as my shoulders are so wide that when I am in a queue I am often mistaken, by the person behind me, for a man. “Excuse me, mate,” I get all the time, until I turn around and they see my bright red lipstick!
Baby Turkey’s way of standing and walking always looks like she is wearing a dress with shoulder pads.
I couldn’t figure out who she reminded me of until I found the following pictures.
The Bubbles (the other turkeys) don’t strut their stuff like Baby Turkey does! Of course I mean no disrespect to Bea, from The Golden Girls, Lady Di or Gaga, but you have to admit the resemblance is rather striking!
Wide shoulders: a symbol of strength. Yes!

Margaret Thatcher would have made a great photo.
Wish I’d thought of that!
I think I owned those dresses! Hahaha!
Hope you kept them – it’s all the go now!
They are in my costume box! Hahaha!
You better get them out and start wearing them again!
seriously hilarious shoulder pads pictures!
Back in style!
Baby turkey looks like she’s also wearing heels …
Yeah, it’s weird!
Shoulder pads are funny things, but they do hide when one shoulder is different to the other (as well as being a fashion statement).
I have wide shoulders like a man too, so I’m in good company with you.
Ha!
The height of turkey fashion!
Yes! I’m beginning to think she is a he in which case s/he is very metrosexual – ha!
