Yeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaa!
Not sure where that came from but there's always something special about a mountain-top so I can't help yelping that one out.
Melbourne Cup Day is kind of a big deal here in Oz.
Everyone gets frocked up, has a bit of a flutter and if you're within sniffing distance of a track at closing time you'll spot quite a bit of stuff you wish you'd never seen - a bit like Ascot y'know?
There were no such drunken high jinks at Kitty and Sue's MCD Vintage Fashion Parade on Tuesday at Mount Tambourine, with its panoramic views of the Gold Coast and hinterlands.
It was the show guests came to see and I don't think Kitty and Sue disappointed the packed house.
I was one of the seven models they selected to wow the crowds with a mere smidgeon of their INCREDIBLE vintage collection from The Shop Time Forgot.
Ooh spots and stripes! That stunning creature doing her magic on my hair is Chrissy of The Lindy Charm School for Girls. What that woman doesn't know about vintage hair and make up - wow and she works so fast!
You can tell Mikey the professional photographer took this - mmm neck crepe!
What a gentleman, averting his eyes and rushing out the door when some of the gals *cough* would strip without warning.
No spiky bob allowed! I'm sold on the 1930s curls now and I'm scouring eBay for hot sticks.
It's easier to check out the running sheet with your pants off.
A bit of irreverent disgracefulness always breaks the tension.
A stitch in time saves your negligee falling off.
All ready for the show - look at Kitty's amazing 1940s suit with it's incredible detail - that woman knows how to sizzle!
I could have walked out in this 1950s crepe frock and hat, never to be seen again! In the background, the scrumptious and so sweet Shannon in her 1960s leopard-print night wear - very James Bond!
On with the show ...
Chrissy introduced me to the room as Tilly Devine, infamous real-life 1930s brothel madam, her story retold in television's Underbelly Razor.
Ooh butter wouldn't melt.
This was the most fun outfit to walk in, the 1930s bias cut satin negligee is mine. I'm carrying a bone-handled vintage fly-swatter and any misbehaviour from punters resulted in a heavenly swatting from me ... got the crowd in a bit of tizz there ... oh yeah I'm tellin' ya!
Tit's out, shoulders back ... I even kept it together while my petticoat was falling down.
Comin' back down the mountain, I drive so Kitty gets to kick back and make paw prints on the windscreen ... what a day!
Thank you for including me in this incredibly fun day Kitty and Sue!

Hot sticks in my hair, I was a bit nervous about doing my own make up surrounded by so many experts.
It got Chrissy's approval though and she just added eye shadow and a cute little beauty spot.
On with the show ...
A big hand for the awesome two-some!
Some very hungry and thirsty poseurs!
Thank you for including me in this incredibly fun day Kitty and Sue!

ReplyDeleteI love the curls, what a great look for you! Amd those frocks were scrumptious on you, I don't know which I would say is my fav.... The black is very film noir, and of course you know my weakness for bias cut gowns... The green was amazing on you to. Looks like you had a grand time, I'm happy you did!
