If a regular gele is a standing fan, this is an air conditioner.

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S.

How high can your mummy’s gele go?

6. When the gele wearer is a friend of the bride and groom.

Before they say someone is partial!

7. This “ring-a-roses” gele!

Who is in the garden?

8. This teal gele is the class captain of geles worldwide!

Fabulous!

Very beautiful!

Senior girls gele!
