For the second time this week I awoke to snow so what better to counteract the bitter cold than a pink Crimplene catsuit, big hair and some massive sunglasses?
It was a bit too icy to negotiate the hill of doom, our usual walking route into town, so we went via Dandys Walk, an atmospheric Georgian alleyway. You'll find a great photo HERE.
Today's mission was to pick up a pair of brogues we'd left with the cobbler last week and to replace my beloved Barry M lipstick (shade 52) and Cobalt nail paint, which had run out after two years of near-daily wear.
Naturally we had to pop into the chazzas. The 1960s St Michael nylon shirt and 1950s Mohair & Alpaca car coat are now in Jon's wardrobe. Sadly the green leather Made in Milan riding boots and red gloves are far too small for me so they'll be off to Vintage Village this coming Sunday to find a small-footed, dainty-handed vintage lover. Melamine's a big seller with the VW crowd so this vintage aqua set will be on one of our festival pitches over the Summer.

As our inbox is gradually filling up with festival organisers wanting some Kinky Melon action at their events, I thought I'd knock up a few summery skirts for our pitch to use up some of my overflowing Ottoman of vintage fabric. By the rate I'm going I should be able to close the lid by the end of the week.
Right, back to the sewing machine, I've a nightmare of a blouse which I'm determined to finish if it kills me...
See you soon!
