Well Frock Me Sideways with a Pitchfork!

It's about time I wore this frock.
The poor wee dear, who really deserves a name, has been in my mending mountain for way too long and she's finally received the new zip she needed.
So she spent Frock on a Friday, out and about with The Phoenix and I.
Let's call her Betty Blue eh?

There's nothing quite like a 1950s wiggle frock and heels to make a gal feel a million bucks.
Take my advice.
Keep it tight at the knees, crank up the heels and you'll always have plenty of wiggle room on the pavement - gawpers and gaspers alike will simply part like the Red Sea.

Of course, accessories and a bit of 'tude help along that feeling of nothing-can-catch-me-but-a-crack-in-the-pavement.

Oh what have we here?
1940s sheer black and lace knickers.
I'm feeling very Black Dahlia!

Ooh let's kick the weekend off with a lovely big bang in pale blue fishnets and six-strap garters.

I swear the six-straps are the shizzle - no dragging, saggy stocking tops like I get with the four-straps.

You can get the magic-sucking-in-garter-belt here at Sock Dreams.

I also snapped up the fishnet stockings from Sock Dreams for a piddly five bucks but I'm sure you could make your own by cutting the pants off a pair of fishnet tights.
All this talk about snapping, I think The Phoenix needs to get strappy-snappy pronto!

I swear Young Moira is giving me ideas - are you watching American Horror Story?
If not, why not?

Betty Blue baby wishes you a happy weekend and a jolly good pounding.
Baci,
