Sharpen your mind, sharpen your Bob

My brain has been fuzzy, it is sometimes.  So I cut my hair, sharp.  I believe in the power of hair.  I have also started eating healthier, it's common sense really.  I don't believe in diets, but I do believe in knowing your body, mine reacts like a puffer fish to certain foods, so I figured I will eat less of them, it's hardly rocket science, I feel better and more importantly for me, less bloated.

With all of my fiddling around with my clothes, taking off belt loops (I don't like them either, my waist is not where you say it is) I feel like I am fine tuning my preferences with dressing, if I don't like something, I change it, it's quite liberating.  I adore the 1920's, I always have and I also adore the 1950's.  The luxury of excess fabric, texture and statement pieces - a kick ass kimono, a sharp bob, cloche hats, capes and full, full skirts call me, sartorially, it's where I feel at home.  I see my body as a frame and I can adorn it how I wish. I don't give a toss about appearing larger either it's not my goal with how I dress.  In the past I spent time attempting to appear smaller, thinner, more acceptable.  Of course, it was all utter bollocks, stripping a person of their creative choices produces blandness and misery. Not a good look at all.

Louise Brooks

she makes me swoon

and that moment when it all clicks into place

what I wore to Little Miss-Ette's year 6 school play yesterday

she surprised me with her performance, her confidence and performance on stage was outrageous (we so proud)

the play was called 'War'

the scene were the deserters were executed was brutal and disturbing

*open mouthed shock all around*

but war is brutal

they touched on nostalgia and the truth of war with alarming accuracy, tenderness, empathy and humour

these children are 11

they all quite rightly received a standing ovation

Ever since Delia Smith pronounced houmous - hoo moose on tv

we have stuck to it religiously

so easy to make and I always make it with too much garlic (I love garlic forever)

The New Addition

Ms Jones is a pain in the ass sewing machine

My Mother-in-Law gave me hers yesterday

a hand cranking piece of art, she purrs

now I just have to clean her and figure out how to thread her

this dress is indecent and very see through

My COLLAR has even been hacked

I prefer it like this now

My adventures with clothing continue

I know I don't look radically different

but I feel it

and I'm excited about where we will go with it

and I hope you are all blooming marvellous

you really are wonderful

and rock my world in a fabulous way,

now, let's all have some fun!!!
