I'm first, yes I am! You look gorgious , the queen of your house! I'll follow your advice and will be partying later tonight!!! Must be your sweet sixteen??? daughter? You both are smashing! And what about those dresses you photographed. Is it possible thatpeople felt unhappy while wearing them? i doubt.
ReplyDeleteLook at you rocking the hell out of your pinny! Housework has never been so glamorous.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you love to get pissed with Paloma? I think she should come with us on our next day out. Love a bit of Jean Varon and its still possible to pick it up at bargain prices. I bet that lady was gorgeous. Shame the gallery didn't include some photos of her back in the day! Thanks for the vote, love! Have a fabuloarse weekend. xxxxxxxxxx
House cleaning at its best! A little drinky poo erases all the grime. You are the sassiest of 1950's housewives. And your gorgeous daughter!!!! A houseful of beautiful girls! Love your museum photos. Love them!
ReplyDeleteHaha, your brother looks like a Ron Mueck sculpture! Grayson Perry made me spill my cocktail once, which sounds like the start of a bad joke, but isn't :)
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed your pinup version! You are such a glamorous house wide, and that pinny is just the most beautiful. You and your daughter... what can I say - it's a happiness to live in such a gorgeous household! Your male neighbors probably have a million reasons to stop by to just have a glace on you. :) And you are the sweetest. And the funniest. And the warmest. Will the list ever end? :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dresses - I'd love to visit such a display. xxxxxxx
House wiFe of course! Love xxxxx
ReplyDeleteLooking very glam in the kitchen right down to the gorgeous pinny. The Jean Varon frocks are just fab and to add a black velvet cape well, just totally wonderful. Hope you are relaxing with a cocktail by now,
ReplyDeleteYou look like a fifties domestic goddess ... the perfect combination of glamour and efficiency.
ReplyDeleteThose dresses on display are divine ... specially the last one ... I really need the last one ... do you suppose they'd loan it to me??

Cute pics Sandra! Kisses.

You look fabulous! xx
ReplyDeleteI don't know what that video clip is from but I LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm playing catch up and have had a ball reading through your last few posts. Now I will always picture you in that GORGEOUS kaftan, reclining on your chaise, being fed grapes by that beautiful daughter of yours, while she's wearing your pinny and doing all the housework. Wouldn't that be a dream!!? I have similar illusions in my house! x
ReplyDeleteYou and your pinny are fab. If Paloma were to come out for the next meet I would have to decline, her voice makes me want to smash her face in.
ReplyDeleteI am very jealous of you seeing that Grayson Perry exhibition he's ace.
I am late for the party. No surprise there, but better late than never! You are so fabulously adorable, although I am not terribly fond of parties I will always come to yours. I love this post. Sending you introverted love and hugs.
ReplyDeletexoxo
You are the most glamorous housewife I've ever seen! Lot of love from Spain, my dear friend!
ReplyDeleteSandra your retro look is fabulous! Look at the headband! And your daughter is simply gorgeous, just like her mom :-)

Where to start, with so much goodness in one blog post?
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable, as always!
The Jean Varon dresses are beautiful and I must say that Grayson Perry is a genius. I love his work, his personality and he's not as crazy as some people might think- I mean, look at those quotes. Does he know what he's talking about or what?
Huggles!
You look great doing housework, but partying sounds much more fun! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat print on skirt dear :D

You look totally adorable, pretending to clean in that apron from Vix! But having a drink is much more fun!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all those 1970s Jean Varon outfits at the Walker, aren't they stunning?
Oh Cupid Stunt, all in the best possible taste! Grayson Perry is spot on, we Brits are all about class, even now. xxxx
Oh my God! I used to think Kenny Everett was brilliant! What a blast from the past.
ReplyDeleteI do love all those dresses on display, they're so flamboyant.
Loving the apron :) Yourself and your daughter are stunning!
I hope you're having a perfect bank holiday weekend xx
A complete post indeed, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteI cannot get over your beautiful eyes, and you sisters, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
jealoussssssssssssss
Tons and tons of love and gratitude for your friendship.

You are such a pin-up girl!
ReplyDeleteHello There, We just got home from a great week--which was a terrific 'healing' experience for me --as I recover from gallbladder surgery followed by that wicked infection... You'll have to check out my blog post today (if you haven't done so yet).
ReplyDeleteI love your apron---but I must tell you, my dear, that you are the prettiest of all 'housecleaners' I have ever seen... You do NOT want a photo of me when I am CLEANING.... ha ha
Looks like a great time at the museum... Of the 5 dresses you photographed in the museum, my fav. is the 3rd one... GORGEOUS.
Hugs,
Betsy
Nice photos and you look so lovely!!
