The evolution of an outfit

Hello there! I hope you are well and the weather is a little more clement.

Firstly I would like to introduce you the right of my blog!!
After a long crappy shift on Sunday in work then ironing then mending a school cardigan and a P.E shirt (seriously?? I'm freaking Cinderella hahaha!!)
I went to blog visit
And saw her/me.  Then freaked Mr F out.  Because I was speechless and doing pointy fingers at the screen whilst looking at him eyes wide and gob open......perfectly reasonable response to AWESOME-NESS!! Thank you Anne http://spygirl-amb.blogspot.co.uk/


Where the is Yin there is Yang

My Mum sent this down on Friday for us

My Mum sends lots of things

I say 'send' like a parcel

we live about 10 minutes from each other

I CAN'T HULA, I can't flaming hula

my shins are shredded as that's where the hoop lands

 it seems  jerky and puffy hip movements are wrong, it needs to be smooth

my Mum suggested as I am left handed I need to do it counter-clockwise

no success, just more shin banging, I am determined to do it

can you hula?

****whilst going over my grammar and probably missing all of the error's, I decided to have another 6 tries, I confirm I still cannot hula ****

Anyhoo

Taking part in share-in-style http://www.mispapelicos.com/ and with Anne (see link above) is something I rather like doing, of course the first time sharing takes a little bit of moxy, but I like that my wardrobe is a place of opportunity/disaster, depending on my decisions.
I have linked in with Anne, see above for the 52 pick me up: 10's (1910's or 2010's)

Work yesterday

I wanted simple 

Today I wanted colour

but, for the life of me, I could not get it right

...........needs a belt

don't like the beige......

not sure on black.....

hair isn't right.....

the camera is playing up......

not happy with the pin-curl .....

In the end I gave up

what do I do?

Do I post?

well yes, because this is life

sometimes it works 

sometimes it doesn't.............

and it's only an outfit, no biggie

And as there has been some serious glove modelling here AND faux fur collar action

I'm exhausted

I need to reflect and learn

well, not really!

I just need to remember to stop walking out of the house with my dress tucked in my pants

(yes, the other day, again!)

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

P.S. Blogger comment is being a massive pain in the bum, I haven't been able to comment on some blogs, I am sorry about this
I am blowing rasberries at you Blogger

I'm about to take you on a journey

.....feel free to leave at any time! I got a little carried away!

My art appreciation class I signed up for last year seems to have stalled, not enough people are signed up, bah! what about the welding course? same thing, bah! however I could do cookery for a £30 charge, I declined, my cooking is average and that's how I like it.

So, I will teach myself about art, and my knowledge is really really bad/ poor/ shocking.

I will do it in little patches, and try and learn little bits at a time.

Hatching plans at 1am

plans hatched when posing are very reliable
(edit; I am also sharing in with lovely Sacramento 'Share in style' favourite colours)

St George's Hall

on the extreme left of it are old prison cells

very very eerie

The Walker Art Gallery

I have come to learn!

inspire me baby!

Audio unit, all swish and very practical

The Tinted Venus by John Gibson

apparently a bit of a shocker, the Victorians were scandalized

not by her nudity

but because of her tinted skin and embellished bits, almost lifelike

I got distracted from Art

Mrs Tinne's wardrobe

awful pictures, beautiful clothes

They reckon she never wore this coat

weep

her social life wasn't as glamorous as her coat

but she bought them to provide commission for the badly paid shop girls

I thought of Brooke http://missbandthebygones.blogspot.co.uk/

I know the era is not quite right, but Brooke rocks hats

This is a real Rembrandt!

it is really quite thrilling in real life

poor man put up with me scrutinizing his face

Dante's Dream - Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Magnificent

I remember the colour green is used for hope

.....oh! and the person in orange was based on a man! 

I love her face

Helen of Troy - Frederick Sandys

......for a millisecond I believed it was her

Outside Selfies

A little bit of my Playlist;

 Heroin - Velvet Undergound

David Bowie - the Major Tom song ( so so sorry, I forgot the actual title!)

Bugsy Malone - We could have been anything that we wanted to be

Dexys Midnight Runners - Oh Gino

McAlmont & Butler - Yes

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Have a wonderful weekend

I hope my artistic journey has not bored you!

If they ain't gonna teach me

I'm gonna do it myself!!!!!

have fun!!!

Getting organised with Paloma

Hello there! I hope you are all well and have had a wonderful start to the New Year!

I have been a little busy the last few weeks (work, extra hours, training, general blah stuff), I have been tardy, disgraceful stuff indeed!  Now, there are some things I know about myself e.g. I am a little un-organised and I like shiny stuff however I didn't realise how routine based I am, and lately my routine has been picked up by a bat and smashed against the wall.

I gave myself a few days to sort myself out and kept away from the laptop, soooo unfair, I missed you all.  But I got some sleep, eat well and organised myself and the house.

My Paloma Calender

I don't think I have ever used one

which is ridiculous, I have children!

school trips and whatnot

now I am organised

1 leek, 2 potatoes and stuff

healthy (well, apart from the bacon and white bread)

Work bag with all the new stuff I am trained on

my brain feels like fish are swimming in it

It wouldn't surprise me if they were

Sweet flowers from Mr F

I was attempting an androgynous look

Like Marlene Dietrich

I managed silver service waitress

(which I've done, tough stuff!)

I took sooo many pics

I ended up with 3!!

Fuzzy pics

I know, I'm gifted

Elizabeth Taylor was right

'Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick and pull yourself together'

........well after a little rest first

I have the afternoon free

I'm coming over to see you

 my world is back to normal

*sigh and relax*

see you soon my Lovelies  

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Camping about on New Years Eve

Its New Years Eve!!

Hurrah!

I hope you have an extraordinarily tremendous one

and your 2014 is beyond brilliant and involves excellent stuff

Whether taking your raffia pets out for a frolic in a boa

(Fighting with the raffia pets over who is going to be wearing the boa

It's mine!!)

Casually reclining in lounge wear

I am inspired by Liberace

he covered a chaise longue like velvet

however I lack his magnificent wardrobe and formal furnishings

Looking forward

Sometimes looking behind

My 'Wrecking Ball' interpretation proved to be a little ahem, inappropriate

I have spared you and given you this

Senior festive dancing

with a pouffe

I hope I can always hold on 

 to something preferably very shiny

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

HAVE A FLAMING GOOD ONE!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

HIC!

XXXXXX

A Tiara and a cup of tea in the afternoon

Almost back to normal.  If you don't mind I'm just going to gloss over the Big C. (Christmas)


Hanging out with Nigella,  and I still will, I never liked that Saatchi man.

Cookie really is a kitty supermodel, I know I say it a lot

but she's fabulous

The brutal winds are affecting Whiskers a little

Little Miss-Ette creating awesome things

Eldest coveting awesome things

I have lost Missy to technology, she is in her pit although I have seen her today, albeit briefly

As it is now the afternoon

One must dress properly

Have a Queenly frolic

Discover the sequin bolero doesn't fit

but if it's sequins Darling

just whip it round the neck

And get in the light

extra sparkle Darling

we want MORE

Of course I am going to share my Regal Episode with the Fabulous Anne

 http://spygirl-amb.blogspot.co.uk/

52 pick me up

'GET SHINY'

edit: Little Miss-ette has told me that I can't pretend the tiara belongs to me, it is hers.  

edit: The bolero belongs to the Eldest.

edit: Fabulous from my Mum (and is currently being addressed as Tilly Twinkles)

I hope you have all survived

and Liver's are only mildly twitching

Paloma Faith

the Queen 

'Just Be'

I'll see you all on New Years Eve

Christmas with Peaches

Peaches jumped out of bed, eager to clean the house.  It's Christmas Eve! how exciting.  Peaches told the children that Santa won't come to an untidy house quite a few years ago.  Since then it's been a tradition Peaches looks forward too.  Peaches LOVES to clean.

You must clean your baubles

and of, course your hems

don't forget your pussy

but how do you keep a happy face while cleaning?

How do you do it Peaches!!

No!

Stop!

It's just a little bit of Christmas Spirit

Well, it is called Mothers little helper

I WISH YOU

A

*****MERRY CHRISTMAS****

HOWEVER YOU SPEND IT

AND WHOMEVER YOU ARE WITH

I WISH YOU A GOOD ONE

BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW

IT'S ABOUT THE LOVE THAT YOU GIVE

AND I'M SENDING BUCKETS FULL

TO YOU ALL
