Surely this website was written for me?

Now I can try and make a pirate hat and sailor hat for my next photo shoots!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are a couple of shots that Jo took of me from our recent retro “Bad Girl” collection. I have just changed the colour to look a little Sin City-ish and a tad vintage…

I have been asked to exhibit my work at Live08!

The event is all about Life, Love + Lust. There’ll be Burlesque shows every hour, music concerts in the evening and a Cirq De Sole-ish show as well.

Here’s my advert I designed for the program:

The other day I ordered a couple of Australian (yes, Australian) hot rod, pin-up, low-brow art magazines and they arrived today. I was a bit suspicious initially - thinking it was just “printed in Australia and heavily featuring American content”. But it seems legit. Aussie models, Aussie cars, adverts, gig scene, the lot (well, maybe not the whole lot, but predominantly).

Bloody shoes - these are so good but too expensive, especially when you want more than one pair!!!

Gorgeous blue velour peeps (Don’t step on my blue velour shoes baby), called “Miss Velour Blue“:

How luscious are they?!!

And these appropriately titled shoes “Miss Fish Green“, perfect for a mermaid pin-up shoot:
