I fear my posing phase is getting out of hand
I'm on my own taking selfies trying to get sun rays on my face, really?
Colour was needed yesterday, I seemed to have zoned into Black for a little to long
Today looks like this
I think it looks like this a lot
grey, miserable and drizzly rain
My house is looking way too dark at the moment, so after googling 'How to create light in a dark space'
I realised I wasn't going to invest in wall to ceiling windows, re-decorate or put spotlights everywhere
so I did this
I put glass stuff where there was light
and I put a lamp on
and I found (in my towel pile) my vintage elbow length gloves
I got these years ago at a vintage fair
a vendor was selling a showgirl feather head-dress and a diamante bra
I floated over and asked him how much
he told me it wouldn't fit and that was that
bugger
I'm still on the lookout though, I will wear the head-dress and the bra as tassles
Glove modelling is notoriously difficult
I had to have a lie down after this exhausting physical activity
Cookie regally resting
must stop using alliteration
It's the weekend, which means drinks tonight and knitting
I'm so right now!!!
If you ever watched Will and Grace
here's Jack and Karen
possibly one of the greatest double acts ever
if that doesn't work
and Xanadu Olivia Newton John and ELO
and if that doesn't work
P.S. thank you to Louise at Polka Dots and Freckle Spots for the tech advice x x
It's the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
have a glorious one
see you all soon

You are a gorgeous glove model. I'm impressed that you actually own opera gloves. Stupid vendor. Bah! I once asked the price of a painting and was told by the vendor that I couldn't afford it. The nerve! How does he know that I'm not an eccentric heiress that likes to dress down so as not to attract gold diggers? I actually couldn't afford it but that's not the point. And...is Karen the best role model or what???? Love every little bit of you!
ReplyDeleteOh Connie ... that's hilarious :0)
Deleteyou both are hilarious!! and yes,yes,yes! Karen is too awesome x x
DeleteWhat a beautiful face you have my dear and those glasses more than suit it, just gorgeous! Give me color on dull day, heck everyday and what a cool idea with the glass pieces in the window. My blue therapy light is a must have in winter. I sat in during a taping of Will and Grace when it was still on the air, it was a blast, we got special vip treatment:)

DeleteO, I LOVE Jack and Karen!!!! Fecking superstars! And I love Xanadu...however did you know?!
ReplyDeleteGloves rock, but your'e right, posing with them can be tricky!!!
Glad the training is over,you can settle down and have a nice few drinkies now! XXX
hehe! my Helga senses are strong! I have now retired as a glove model, it was all too much!!!! x x
DeleteOh I loved Will and Grace - Jack and Karen were hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYou look your usual gorgeous self, loving the gloves.
I always have a grin on my face when reading your posts - thank you : )
Cookie is adorable - I used to have a rabbit with the same name.
Enjoy your weekend xx
aw thanks Yvonne - Jack and Karen were the best, I miss Will and Grace so much *weep* cute Cookie rabbit too, I adore rabbits, have a great weekend too x x
DeleteYou are ... hands down ... the very best modeller of gloves I have ever seen ... bar none!!!!!!
ReplyDeletexx
haha! it was all too much darling, I have had to retire!! x x
DeleteHope you gave the vendor a lovely smile and a one finger salute for being rude, no need is there, to be rude that is, there is always a need to salute rude people!! You are very talented at glove modelling reminded me of Mad Donna singing Vogue!! Enjoy your weekend and don't drink while you knit or you may well drop a stitch or three!!
ReplyDeleteHehe! I love 'Mad Donna', and yes I probably should have given the vendor a one finger salute! have a lovely weekend too! x x
DeleteLooking fabulous! Loving the blue floral dress. There's something so ladylike about long gloves- I want some. I hope you told that vendor where to shove it for being so rude! And, you're welcome for the tech advice. Glad it helped! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise, the tech advice was excellent as I am an tech idiot! definitely get some long gloves, very fancy they are! I walked away from the vendor, I was more annoyed I didn't get to try the head dress on! x x
DeleteOh thanks for a little blast of Jack and Karen, they were brilliant. I dance like Karen after a few drinks. Just so you know...
ReplyDeleteGod, the greyness has been crappy, hasn't it? Your pretty frock with the lace panel top layered over it is just the ticket to brighten things up. And your cool posing face is fabulous!
Gorgeous Gloves of Glory! I like a little 'lliteration too. You've modelled them to perfection, most elegant. Bloody cheeky seller, you would look wonderful as a showgirl.
Cutie pie Cookie, AND Xanadu? You spoil us! Hope the drunk knitting was a success! xxxxx
You dance like Karen! you fabulous sauce-pot! the grey skies are beyond crap and making me moody although I can be a moody sod anyway!! thanks for your lovliness, and I'm glad you like to 'lliterate too! drunk knitting should be approached with extreme caution!!! x x
DeleteAt last, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh bigger photos, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ReplyDeleteI can see you in all your esplendour, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Glorious.
Have a lovely weekend, dear Sandra.
