In the best possible taste

Art Friday's were going so, so well.  I fancied a faff about a bit, but I do have some nice pics.....they are at the end.


Wearing my VIX apron
What's that apron?, speak up
Vote Vix!
Hurrah! let's do it!


'Cleaning'

'sarcastic'

Working my fingers to the bone


Somebody get me some marigolds asap





Me and Paloma
BESTIES


Sod the cleaning
Let's Party
IT'S FRIDAY!!!!


I do realise a look like a little sinister here
(sinister also means left handed, which I am eeeeek)













Evening dress by Jean Varon 1973


1970's does the 50's
Jean Varon


The donor of this dress wore it to her son's wedding in Tenerife in 1972
with a long black velvet cape
*I have collapsed, I have! this woman must have looked absolutely blindingly gorgeous*


More Jean Varon

Grayson Perry

"Class is bred into us like Religious faith"

"More than any other factor - more than age, race, religion or sexuality - one's social class determine's ones taste"

  2. Look at you rocking the hell out of your pinny! Housework has never been so glamorous.
    Wouldn'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

  4. Haha, 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 :)

  5. I 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? :)

    Gorgeous dresses - I'd love to visit such a display. xxxxxxx

  7. Looking 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,

  11. I'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

  12. You 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.
    I am very jealous of you seeing that Grayson Perry exhibition he's ace.

  18. Where to start, with so much goodness in one blog post?
    You 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!

  21. You look totally adorable, pretending to clean in that apron from Vix! But having a drink is much more fun!
    I 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

  24. Hello 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).

    I 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
