Leaving school

When asked what we would miss we said NOTHING.
And this, of course.



Dear Sit

I found this in an old pack of typing paper that my grandmother gave to my mother to give to me.
It's A MYSTERY!!
(also a mystery is why my mother would give me ANYTHING, which you'll understand if you've ever met that pscyho)

I think the typewriter belonged to my uncle Ian who was trying to type a letter. Then along came Sandy/Alex, another uncle (who I don't think I've ever met) who RULES OK(!) Liz is his wife. Maybe they were all drunk.

20p! When I was little I used to play a game where I had an imaginary shop. EVERYTHING in my shop was 20p. I would like to go to this shop now.

Karl loves building sites

Some words of wisdom from my favourite crazy designer-who-used-to-be-fat:
KARL LAGERFELD

"I'm rather pro-prostitution...Thank goodness for it. People need relief or they become murderers."

"Friendship is often used to describe something you are indifferent about. You shouldn't trivialise these things."

Notice in the men's toilets in Chanel office:
"Pissing everywhere isn't very Chanel"

On possessions (despite owning a library and at least 25 iPods): "I don't care for them."

"I love the smell of building sites."

Drawing Room antics

I like the Drawing Room very much as it combines two of my favourite activities: drawing and dressing up crazy.

It's me posing dramatically, in a blonde wig.


Vintage hair for dummies


I have invented my own amazing way of cheating at doing fingerwaves.
I'm thinking of sharing this as a tutorial cos i'm so unbelievavly generous. And most of the ones I've found online looked REALLY TRICKY and time consuming (my attention span only lasts about 5 seconds).



YES I AM FROM THE 1930S HELLO.


Amen

In a vain attempt to stalk my own blog, I accidentally missed out the 's' in the url,

Which took me to THIS exciting place http://tonic-and-gin.blogpot.com/ (blogPOT!?)
it seems to be some kind of Bible bashing wonderland,

SUCH A RIOT!

so naturally I looked up what they had to say about some of my favourite hobbies:
EBAY
A PHOTO TOUR OF ISRAEL (it Is reaaaallll)
SUNGLASSES(!?)

"A few minutes reading this page could PROVE to you the Bible is true."

Su Blackwell

Wow





I love these book sculptures.

"Do you know how popular I am? I am so popular.

...Everybody loves me so much at this school."
Molly Ringwald, The Breakfast Club
“I never thought of myself as a style icon. I wore all that vintage because my parents kept me on an allowance. … My style was based on necessity.”


Apparently I look a bit like her (I don't)

Why are 80s teen movies so great??

Fairy cakes


I can't bring myself to eat them though. Too beautiful!

Fashion vs. Art


I made this magazine cover to accompany an essay I wrote: 'Is Fashion Art?'
I'm not much of a photographer but I had a lot of fun taking the pictures.

Other Voices, Other Rooms

I went to see the Andy Warhol exhibition 'Other Voices, Other Rooms' at the Hayward; he's my idol. And Edie.


"I can't figure out what my part is in this movie"



I drew her, look:
