I owe it to these two fabulous wenches for inspiring me today.
One of my childhood heroines, the ever-playful Agnes Moorehead in Bewitched, and ...
the glorious Miss Simmonds Says.
I've been living in false eyelashes and getting busy dyeing this week.
Take one 1950s white cotton bra.
Add dye, salt, water, then stir.
Add bling as required.
I'm wearing the brooch Vintage Bird Girl gave me and a beautiful Frida necklace made by Tamera.
I'm also wearing half-lashes and I treated myself to Lime Crime's Velveteens in the colour, Suedeberry.
I bought this pretty 1960s cotton blouse for $1 from the Salvos before it burned down a few years ago.
I never wear it, probably because I'm not a big fan of cream or white.
Repeat process.
Be awesome like Endora.
Bless you!

Isn't Endora just the most stylish thing ever!!! I love that show. I wish I could wriggle my nose & be her for a day. Clever clever you on greening things. I LOVE the shade it turned out as. You look sublimely hot in that bra...I was thinking to myself how gorgeous your eyes look. And what a huge improvement with the blouse. Magic! The green works SO well with your hair too. Love you my fellow Green Queen!!!! Xx
ReplyDeleteI can never get the right lashes on! Which is why every now and then I have the biggest spoil and get lash extension. The more over the top they are the happier I am.
ReplyDeletePink and Green! Pink and Green!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a GORGEOUS sight to be seen!
xo xo
(And wasn't Endora about a MILLION times more fabulous than Samatha?!!)
What a fabulous choice of colour, what a difference a dye makes!
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment on the pink and green combo - which I love! Now I want to go see if I can dye any of my unworn clothes... ~LittleMissPlump (Sara)
ReplyDeleteI used to love Bewitched - Endora was always so much fun! Isn't it amazing the difference a little dye can make - green is perfect with your hair :D
ReplyDeleteI'm Green with envy! Badum tschhhhhh...
ReplyDeleteI'm preparing another box of lovelies for you. Stay tuned :)
just too scrummy for words!!! I love that green!! I think i need some vintage undies in my life! Inspired every day by you xxxxx
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not a fan of cream or white either. However, green I am a big fan of and that green is scrumdiddlyumptious as are you, you fabularse thing you. xx
ReplyDeleteI've never even attempted to wear false eyelashes, but if anyone could convince me to try, it would be Endora!
ReplyDeleteLawks, I used to love Bewitched, I dreamed of the power of the nose wriggle and magic (still do!)you have perfected the falsies, such troublesome things and you look perfection - I feel a little endora inspiration too xx
ReplyDeleteYou are FABULOUS! Your blog really cheers my day! xxx
ReplyDeleteSo vibrant! And you've dyed them so evenly, my dyeing always turns out blotchy. I really like your straight hair style, it looks very edgy and groovy! The pink and green look fab together!
ReplyDeleteI love the witchcraft of dyeing!!!
ReplyDeleteMagic!! Endora's and Clare's colors and spells are always a great inspiration! I adore the tropical green you choose for your outstanding clothes, you look so beautiful with your amazing hair and the bra!
Love xxxxxx
Endora was a great character. She opened our eyes to the possibility of being flamboyant regardless of age. Certainly more fun than Aunt Clara!
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices, you really gave new life to those garments and goes perfect with your hair - thanks for the inspiration today!
ReplyDeleteI loved Agnes Moorehead with her ice blue eyeshadow and winged out liner, you look fab!
ReplyDeleteTwo marvelous muses for inspiration! I live the shock of pink with the green and all the added colors! I adored the show Bewitched and Endora!
ReplyDeleteEndora and Clare, you can't get a naughtier, funnier, more fabulous pair of super-stylish women than those two!
ReplyDeleteLove the green dye jobs, the bra top looks particularly amazing. The effect of the eyelashes is wonderful, you look smoking hot, love! xxxx
Omg I can't totally see how Eudora has influenced you wow! I adore Clare and her dyed undies and your bright green is gorgeous! Stay beautiful!
ReplyDeleteXxoo
I fucking love Endora! I even want to name one of my future spawns after her.
ReplyDeleteI been thinking of dyeing all my boring beige bras. I amar you more in lime green bra! That lipstick looks fabulosa, I been wanting to get the suede red one.I can see you wearing that amazing green frilly blouse with a black pencil skirt.Claire and her amazing ideas.
Besotes
I wanted Endora to be my granny when I was a kid! Love that green it fucking sings. I can hear it all the way over here. You look fabularse in it and is there nothing that a nice bit of Dylon can't sort out? That's a different blouse in that colour. Love it. Love you.
ReplyDeletexxxxxx
Endora was the best thing about that show!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore your bright green bra and top--they are stunning and set off the pink glory of your hair perfectly!!
You know what I thought about which is too cool. How many lucky ladies have green matching bras with blouses? This could quite catch on!
ReplyDeleteThat green bustier is enormously fabulous on you dear Desiree, a total stunner! I've been dying clothes too, a 70s maxi dress lavender amongst other things. It's addictive isn't it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wish we all could be as awesome as Endora.
ReplyDeleteBloody hell you look amazing.
ReplyDeletethe green bra is fab! Xxx
ReplyDeleteEndora rules! I've been her a couple of times for Halloween, and I like to wear Endora-style dresses now and again. Bright red hair forever!
ReplyDeleteLove how the green bra came out :)
I loved Endora! She was so smoooooooth.
ReplyDeleteYour dye job turned out great on both items! Yours is the second post I've read on dying today - must be something in the air. I love the green color you chose!
The acid green is great! That pearl necklace looks very familiar.
ReplyDeleteYES!! The dye job came out awesome! I actually just bought some dye not too long ago to revamp some clothes totally inspired by Clare.
ReplyDeleteI love dyeing clothes!! That green is wicked. Bewitched was one of the best things on the old tele growing up. I would love to be able to wiggle my nose and make things happen!
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome. Such a style icon.

hurrah for Endora and hurrah for tropical green!!, you're inspiring and sexy as a rock star, dear lady, that blouse looks so much better now!!, and love your green fabulousness!!!!
ReplyDeletebesos & green!
Looks fabulous makes me want to go out and buy some dye :) love the green!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteI watched Bewitched every day after school and I loved Endora's outfits (we only had black & white tv so I never got to see the colours) Hot pink and lime/leaf green are one of my absolute fave colour combos - excellent dye job on the bra and the blouse! You are inspired by Endora, and I am in turn, inspired by you - it's the circle of life ;)
ReplyDeleteI had a proto-lesbo crush on Samantha when I was younger, she's just so perfect. I love Bewitched so much. I really love what you've done with the bra!! I used tropical green too!!! It looks really fantastic, you have to wear it out. Especially love the parrot brooch, what a great idea - super glam. Get dying - do more, it's just so much fun! Love the combination of your pink hair and green top, like a watermelon - but not the same shape - beautiful xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh! You and miss Simmonds are really something! I adooooore both of you in your green bras!
ReplyDeleteDying the bra is awesome idea! Now I just need to find vintage bra that fits me :D Not as easy as you would think...
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous as usual.
I am loving that green shade. It looks Brilliant on your body!!
ReplyDelete*Eaaak a total delight*
Wow, going to have to look for that shade of dye its freaking fantastic! Green *is* a magical colour, its the colour of the faeries, so wearing it brings you the magic of those mischievous beings as well as honouring the (they're earth spirits.) Et voila! Just like Endora, you are magical my darling! XXX
ReplyDeleteIt did a good job, i have some of that dye at home, in several colors
ReplyDeleteI should try it-
The green is stunning on you!

Clare is an idol in my books too. And I have renewed respect for Endora. When I was a kid I didn't like her voice...what a fool I was.
ReplyDeleteI gasp again when I see these closeups of your face - you are so gorgeous.
I loved Bewitched as a kid and was a big fan of Agnes! Love your homage to apple green in not one but two fabulous vintage tops!
ReplyDeleteYou look like a beautiful punk mermaid!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Tie-dying (or just dying) boring white things fun colors is something I love to do, and certainly don't do often enough! LOVE your color choice, naturally. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the best green ever, I'm always too scared to dye in case it all turns pear shaped but I feel inspired now! The bra is pure heaven on you and the top is divine. Bewitched was one of my favorite programmes growing up although I could never understand the appeal of gormless darryl or was it darren?
