就是这一件仙人掌衫
妈妈真的是一个了不起的裁缝，她照着小孩子的服装簿裁剪小女孩子的衣服真是一流，当时是称为‘红毛装’，是外国小孩子的服装也。我全部的衣服都是她一手包办的，穿起来显得我特别美丽与可爱，每一个见了我的人都称赞一番，是我的衣服不是我的人！
只有一件衣裙是我最讨厌穿的，就是用浅紫色的薄纱裁剪成的，又不垫上滑滑的底层，一穿上就刺得我半死，尤其是腋窝底及领口，一出汗就好像贴在身上的刺猬，妈妈认为很美，一有大场面，必要我穿上此刺猬皮。还带我去照相馆拍了一系列的刺猬照片。
有一次，当时的香港大明星葛兰在国泰戏院有一个与影迷交流签名会，做记者的二舅带我去，妈妈必要我穿上此可怕的裙子，一点都不舒服的我脸黑黑的来到葛兰小姐的面前，拿着她的玉照给她签名，她微微的笑着还问我一些问题，她心中一定想为何穿这着漂亮衣服的小女孩脸上露出不高兴的样子。
一回到家，立即将刺猬皮丢下，变回人皮，全身松晒，后来妈妈将这仙人掌衫不知收到哪里去了。
Mamma was a great tailor indeed, she follow the children's pattern book and
sews beautiful little girl's clothes, these type of clothing at that time was
known as 'westerner’s dress', only worn by westerner’s children. All my dresses
were her masterpiece, it made me looked beautiful and lovely, Mamma’s friends
would praise me when they saw me, actually praising my dress and not me I think!
I hated to wear one particular dress, it was made out of light purple chiffon, Mamma didn’t know how to make the lining then, every time when I put on this dress was like thorns in the fresh, especially under the armpits and collar, when I sweat as if attached to the body of a hedgehog, Mamma said it was beautiful, in every big occasions, Mamma would force me to put on this hedgehog skin. She took me to the studio to shoot a series of the hedgehog photos too.
I remember one occasion, a famous Hong Kong star Ge Lan who held a fans signature meeting in Cathay Cinema, my reporter second uncle took me to the fans gathering, Mamma wanted me to wear this horrible dress, I felt so uncomfortable as my face turned grumpy once the I had the hedgehog skin on. Miss Ge Lan smiled and asked me some questions as she autographed her photo, she must wondering why this little girl with a beautiful dress looked so annoyed.
Once back home, immediately leave the hedgehog skin, change back to human skin, I felt so relaxed, later on I wouldn’t know where Mamma had hide the cactus dress?
