Typical 1990’s Outfits

I realised something as I was creating these sets - I love the 90’s! I had completely forgotten about tattoo necklaces, tencel jeans, best friend forever charms, big flowers on straw hats and those little plastic pacifiers! Although I think I love the 90’s because of the reminiscing that accompanied the research, and not so […]

Nail Art & The 1940’s Dress-up

Okay, I know they look a little cheap and nasty, but that’s what happens when you’re not a professional manicurist. They kind of remind me of a deck of cards. A deck of heart cards, that is. Just add some ridiculously rude red nail polish, use your 1982 cassette tape of Annie (man, I loved […]

Artist Of The Week - Lori Nix

Library
I came across this slightly sinister photo a long time ago, and have kept it in my ‘amazing art’ file without ever knowing who the artist is or what the photo is about. The cool thing is, I just stumbled across some information about the artist, Lori Nix, and have learnt that these pictures are […]

What Would You Do With 20 Crocheted Flowers…?

I’ll tell you what you do, you make crazy jewellery and hair accessories! I bought 20 of the things without having a clue what to do with them. The lady who made them had put so much effort into created these little things and they looked pretty, so I couldn’t resist buying them. So yeah, […]

Fun With Mayan Astrology

I’ve always loved the mystical side of life. Astrology, tarot reading, palmistry, clairvoyants, and other magical and esoteric shenanigans have always consumed my attention.
I’ve been a fan of astrology since I was about 7 years old and I don’t know why as my family thinks it’s a bunch of bs. But while Johnny and […]

Pretty Please, With A Cherry On Top?

Lately I’ve taken a liking to all things rockabilly. I love the pinup styled hair, the kinky femininity, the subtle sensuality, the immaculate style, the polka dot stockings, sling back wedges, leopard prints and red lipstick - va-va-voom!
