It must have been about 17 years ago I watched a certain movie with a pair of wowsers (party poopers) who were shocked and stunned at what they saw.
What a shame for them.
This week I watched that same movie three times in a row and now I simply cannot get enough crazy-shiny in my life!
To whom do I owe the honour of injecting a super-strength shot of fab into my week?
Miss Felicia Jollygoodfellow,
Miss Mitzi Del Bra,

I cannot compare myself to those wonderous wenches in the frock and costume stakes, so maybe I could be their wig-brusher, glitterfier and sequin-polisher?
"Check us girls, aren't we faaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous?"

Mwah, mwah, mwah!

just came home from derby training & spotted this post on my fb wall :) your style makes me smile and always inspires me,love it! time to start injecting alil more creativity into my outfits me thinks! have a fabulous weekend doll x
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Priscilla for ages! I really should watch it again. I totally fell in love with it when I was 17, especially the soundtrack, so many favourites. You look gorgeous - wow you're one bendy wench!! The double tights are gorgeous and the sparkles are wonderful - sequins are a must. I love how you add a touch of the flapper girl to every outfit. Perfect. How cool would we look in Mitzi's headdress? xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteYOWZA! You are one hot dang momma and so bendy too, I'm very impressed! I used to be able to do the backwards bend but I haven't done it for ages and I'd probably put my back out if I attempted it right now, although I can't say I'm not tempted after seeing your magnificent display of it. Once when I was working at the pub in Covent Garden we were inundated by Pricilla fans on their way to a screening at the Prince Charles cinema in Leicester Square, it was fabulous!
ReplyDelete...xXx
i was trying to be really clever and put a very intellectual programme about egypt, and then i read your blog, sodded the programme and watched the video clip instead (much more fun!) x
ReplyDeleteI fink u freeky and I like you a lot!!! I share the love for Priscilla, I've watched many years ago and I remember how I enjoy it and its awesome soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteI love the sparkling top, the double tights and the shoes, the colour palette is a great inspiration for the weekend!! Now I need to listen to 'I will survive'!
Lots of Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It's crazy shiny dragtastic gorgeousness! And your incredible yoga pose! You're my yoga idol sweetie. I've been doing yoga for a while now but my back will never be that sexy bendy!
ReplyDeleteI love this film soooo much. It's in my top 20 of films I need to watch every now and then and it always makes me happy. You are gorgeous and sparkly and holy mother of god, your divine self doing a bridge. YOu have utterly made my day.
ReplyDeleteLove and snogs.
xxxxxxxxxx
Oh, I loved "Priscilla!" May need to watch it again for some glam inspiration. I adore that sequin top and the FREEKY necklace.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, a back bend on the coffee table! Priscilla is a hoot of a movie. Shouldn't everybody have a dress made out of flip-flops?
ReplyDeleteFlipping heck Desiree. The crab. With heels. What the devil next? Seriously impressed. And thank you, lovely, for reminding me about Priscilla. I LOVE that film - haven't seen it in...too long. Have a wonderful weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteHot stuff! I'm taking notes...
ReplyDeleteFreaky, Fabulous and FLEXIBLE!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a joy!!
Holy Crap Desiree! You sure are flexible! That's awesome. You look fabulous and like a circus girl on her way to work. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to watch to watch Priscilla but every times it's on, it's more than half way through.
Tits and teeth all the way baby.
ReplyDeleteYou look enchanting.
Will Blogger let me comment - sheesh - I tried 3 TIMES on your Prince earworm post!!!
I adore that necklace - wowweeee - and there is NOTHING more cinematic than those top of the bus, floating fabric long shots in Priscilla - NOTHING.
What movie is this? I think it sounds OUTSTANDING! Whenever I watch To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar, I always want to dress all glitzy too! I love that top and those shoooooooes. Have a great weekend m'dear!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that movie!! It's been so long I probably have forgotten the majority of it! The sequin top is amazing-- I am sort of having a sequin moment, too!! Your back bend is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteSoy Girl's sketch of you is amaze-balls!!!!!
Becky :)
"Be brave biatches and knock 'em dead this weekend!"
ReplyDeleteoh girl you have no idea how I needed to hear that today, cyber-bullies SUCK!
But you are absolutely and utterly fantastic, must drag out some sequins this weekend to prance around in, and thanks so much for the post dearie...
Wow, you need to join a cross dressing disco circus for freaky flappers NOW! Love the sequins and pants and double tights and the beaded cap and Frida. And the bendiness, of course! You ALWAYS knock 'em dead! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteLoved that movie, love your outfit, love sequins, love the bridge - wish I could do that!
ReplyDeleteIs that film really 17 years old? Doesn't time fly? I need to dig out my DVD of it and watch it. I love it and I think you pay a great homage in all your glittery fabulousness. You're so flexible too. Btw, have you recieved a parcel of joy? Xx
ReplyDeleteWOW.!! how do you do that. i rally need to get fit. i couldn't even get on the table!!! i love the outfit. the shoes are amazing. i just ordered one of the freeky necklace. i like it a lot. you model it so well. love lucyx
ReplyDeleteYou are a picture of sparkly happiness!!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a classic. My favourite line is "Come on, cabanossi tits." Or maybe anything Hugo Weaving says in the pub scene when he's selling make up. I think now I'll have to watch this today! I love your sparkly blue top, and that is one impressive back bend, especially in those shoes!! Bring on the crazy shiny!
ReplyDeleteNot only men get to be drag queens. Some day, I'll do a post all about how drag queens helped me learn to accept my femininity. And, man that back bend is impressive!

I fink you freaky and I like you a lot! Ah P Queen of the D, Vix and I were just talking about this flick as she saw a play done recently. FAB FAB for sure! Don't start wearing an ABBA turd around your neck :) I love your sparkly top and purple eyes, those shoes are mad as is your back bend!
ReplyDeleteStay shiny baby!
XXOO
How could anyone not love that film, it's been one of our family favourites for years, weird to think it's as old as my daughter actually. Whenever it comes on I always end up watching the whole damn thing again. And you look beautiful as always, I left some sequinned dresses in the charity shop yesterday because I'd already gone over budget, but you make me wish I'd bought them now. Oh dear, I can feel all my good intentions to save money going out the window again! xx
ReplyDeleteGosh you look like you're having so much fun...is that your sitting room? I love it!!! So much rainbow crochet goodness!!! LOVE the Frida necklace...I love everything you are wearing not to mention the awesome eyeshadow...aaah this post is all kinds of fun xxx
ReplyDeleteMaybe the best post ever!
ReplyDeleteI love everything you wear, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
ReplyDeleteAnd love the interesting walls in your house. perphaps you could do a tour for us one day.
Much love always, dear Desiree.
You are dear family now.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That movie is an all time favourite, always laugh at the ping pong bit!!
ReplyDeleteYou did WHAT? I cannot get over that bendy backward thing. You make me feel sane, my dear, but then you also make me want to dance on my table in swimsuit bottoms. Or maybe because you make me want to dance on the table in my swimsuit bottoms.
ReplyDeleteYou are just the most fabulous fashion explorer! I love you so much! I literally just watched Priscilla last week, that thong dress is everything!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! looks stunning!

I adore that movie, and have watched it over and over and over - over the decades :) I know this is not cool, but I also listen to ABBA sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYou are everything wonderful in a style blogger. Magical, surprising, shiny, and beautiful.
Have I mentioned I adore you?
Love, peace, & grace,
Lynne
Oh, my gosh, aren't you amazing! I love this fun and funky outfit - your shoes are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove "Priscilla" - such a great movie.

ReplyDeleteThe first post back I've read of yours and its truly a doozy! I'm loving those shoes!! If I stood on a table like that I would be on my head on the floor hahaha xxx
ReplyDeleteyour outfit pleases me well. You're so effin' awesome
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing that film in the theatre when it came out and loving it. When one of the magazines that targeted the queer community in Toronto ran a contest where you had to dress up like one of the characters in the film, I made my own "Flip Flop" dress, and won a copy of the movie, a poster and the soundtrack! I think I was probably the only woman who entered.
ReplyDeleteYOu are a rather flexible minx, aren't you? I used to be able to do a backwards bend like that, but not anymore ;)
Aw dude! I know exactly what I'm going to be watching tonight. I haven't seen Priscilla in aaages.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you've inspired me to dig out my "A cock in a frock on a rock" tank top to wear under my work uniform today!
Hell wow you look crazy fab!!! Love your outfit and your amazing purple eyes!!! I should deffo watch the movie again asap! Keep on rockin dear! xxxx
ReplyDeleteooh those purple eyes! The Phoenix is sooo lucky ;)
ReplyDeletesuper hugs,
Reva
Yes ma'am! I LOVE that movie. When they first started promoting it they used the slogan "Drag is the Drug" (I found this out via the commentary on the "extra frills" edition my husband bought me). I loved this slogan so much I painted it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thewhocaresgirl/4656330276/
ReplyDeleteAnd made it into a tee-shirt! http://www.flickr.com/photos/thewhocaresgirl/6165718273/
Oh wow, this is like watching a bird of paradise table dance. I feel like I've got colour coursing through my veins now. What a wonderful start to the weekend, thank you! xxx
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this? Thank feck for Helga, eh?
ReplyDeleteI saw Priscilla the musical the other day, and felt compelled to remind myself by re-watching the film...again! Not sure what won - Jason Donovan or Guy Pierce, I love them both!
Pink and green is the best colour combo ever, especially when encasing your delicious arse! xxxx
Isn't it amazing how some yoga poses can be performed better in heels? You go, darling! :)
ReplyDeleteERMAHGERD... I loooove this! Priscilla is a definite fave (I think I must have watched it at least once a year every year since it came out) - the costumes! The music! The fabulousness!
ReplyDeleteAnd there's you - in all of your exquisite, flexible, fabularse GLORY... table dancing and bending and generally being MARVELLARSE!
One day Imma come up there and plop on that sofa for a few days and make you dance for me on that table and bring me ice cream. Because I am terrible, Muriel.
Love yer bits! Sarah xxx
