It reeks of hair bleach, eyebrow dye and musty clothes.
My summer frocks are slowly getting a dust-off and it's like greeting old friends.
Well, they are fussy old dears and I certainly can't let those hard-working gals down by not slapping on a bit of muck, plucking my eyebrows to buggery and sizzling my roots can I?
I think La Dama might like today's 1950s cotton frock, but I really think I should have worn a feck-off crinoline and girdle to channel our favorite puta.
I had four minutes to make myself decent this afternoon to pick up The Stylist from school.This frock said "pick me" and the ethnic jewelry just came along for the ride.

I hate to pay full price for cosmetics and fripperies, so I was stoked about finding these Sally Hansen nail strips for just five bucks - they're usually $15 around here.And I only realised when I took these pics they're a dead-cert match with the whole lotta-lotta I've got going on here today.
October 19 is Loud Shirt Day and The Stylist and I have been invited to judge a competition tomorrow afternoon at an amazing local art, music, craft and second-hand emporium.All proceeds from the event will go towards helping deaf children learn to speak.
Now I just know if you're reading this I'm probably preaching to the converted but this Friday, go loud!Oh and don't forget, Lakota's Faith Hope and Charity Christmas Swap closes on October 28.
It's a great way to express your vintage desires, by swapping wonderful second-hand and handmade gifts with like-minded lovelies:).
