Maybe a Trip to the Outback Will Help With This Little Phase I'm Going Through

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,

aaaaaaand, Miss Bernadette Bassenger.

 1920s beaded cap, 1960s bikini knickers - Etsy

"FREEKY" necklace - custom-made by Phussy

Sequin top, feather bird on my head, bangles, feather earrings and Glomesh bag - thrifted

Sparkly bracelet - lovely Miss V

Frida necklace - supermodel Tamera

Pink sparkly necklace - scrumptious Krista

Green tights and purple fence nets - Sock Dreams

Shoes - market

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?

Oooooooh and in other fantastical news, Spy Girl has been super busy with her sketch pad this week, I love this art work!  Thank you so much Anne!.

"Check us girls, aren't we faaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous?"

Be brave biatches and knock 'em dead this weekend!

EDIT: YOU CAN WATCH PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE DESERT HERE.  EEEEEEEEP!!!!!
Mwah, mwah, mwah!

I Was Dreaming When I Wrote This

Forgive me if it goes astray.

Sky was all purple, there were people running everywhere ...
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care.

1950s black bag (just bought), purple tutu, DIY leather gloves, bangles, earrings and hair ribbon - thrifted

Feather cape - online sale from now-closed shop

Goddess bag - craft market

King Tut swimsuit and gold suspenders - Black Milk

Docs - retail

Well after prancing about in a tutu, gold suspenders and a feather cape on Friday, a boxset of Pre-Code movies The Phoenix bought me for Christmas got a right ragging today.

Night Nurse was one of my favourites.

I adored Barbara Stanwyck (here as a brunette) battling a gang of crooks trying to murder two little sisters for their trust fund, while keeping the girls' mother hopped up on drugs and alcohol.

Of course, Barb and Joan Blundell gave audience glorious peeks at their scrumptious knickers at every possible opportunity.

 Well of course that wasn't going to happen was it?

Hiding from matron after a big night out, Joan Blundell is a wee bit worried about getting sprung "coz I wear my makeup all the way 'round the back of my neck!"

I was in the mood for showing off a few bits of pure vintage scanty-goodness before the evening light withdrew.

These girdles from the 1940s and 50s are too yummy to hide so I wear them as skirts over leggings.

I buy them a couple of sizes bigger than if I was to wear them as control underwear, so they slip on and off easily.

Can't wait for autumn to take hold as I miss wearing these gorgeous babies.

Linking up to Patti's Visible Monday.
Kisses,

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
