Bending the Rules

When The Phoenix promised to wear a gourd after spotting me in my bullet bra again yesterday, it was a done deal.
I laughed maniacally as usual and popped on a pink fluffy toy crown.
Then I realised it was #2 Son (aged 15) who was accompanying me out and if I was to enjoy his company in public ever again, I would gladly bend my "don't give a feck" rules, tone it down a bit and wear more than a 1950s bra.

So I decided it was time to wear the delicious lurex top Vix sent me long ago.
Potential embarrassment of teen averted and I was still smiling.
Win-win.

Toy crown, bangles - thrifted

1950s cardigan, blue granny beads, Frida earrings - Etsy

1970s disco queen top and Barry M turquoise nail paint - gifted by glam queen Vix

Sparkle necklace (worn nearly everyday) - made by scrumptious Krista

Bag and skull necklace - craft markets

Leather shorts - old Bitching and Junkfood

Muscle leggings - Black Milk

Docs - retail

Sunnies - shop in Fitzroy, Melbourne

From the backseat of the car beckoned my 1970s Australian Department of Supply cap I wore to the beach the other day.
Quick change.
Still no signs of embarrassment from the lad.
He even agreed to take pics in my favourite op shop, Aid for the Blind.
Bless.

The appearance of the cap created some imaginative stirrings in me...

But back to the task at hand.

Our trip wasn't a waste of time, I grabbed a couple of t-shirts on special for three bucks each and this Minnie Mouse headband.

Late last night, it was my first viewing of Charlotte Rampling and Dick Bogarde's controversial cavorting.
A forbidden love affair between a young WWII concentration camp prisoner and her sadistic SS torturer and lover.
Years later they meet by chance ...

You can watch the full movie here.
We have another week of school holidays so it's been a bit all over the shop here.
I hope to sit down with a huge pot of tea and have a glorious catch-up with you all this weekend:).
Forgive me.

Molti baci,
Desiree xo
