JUJU

Working all over the Jubilee weekend I had to instead show my Pride in my Outfits! God save this Queen! 

07.05.91

Edward where have you been! Sorry I have been on my travels darlings how I have missed you! I have just spent a glorious few weeks in Greece for my birthday and am finally back to the reality of London and all its glory... tubes, rain and expense. Greece was just the inspirational escape I needed, I just wish my dear Lally had been there with me, can you imagine the photos! Alas without my Lally I did manage to take a few shots and here are a choice few... 

Jubilations

 I spent yesterday frolicking about in Battersea Park dressed as the queen! The Battersea Jubilee Festival was, despite the rain, brillo. We nibbled on giant rice crispies, played musical bingo and ate gazillions of sarnies (ham & mustard, coronation chicken + cheese & mango chutney all made by me). All in all a right royal day out.

Vogue

 Can't believe that I have never posted about my fun excursion to Vogue. It may well have been a whole year ago but thats the beauty of Vogue, its timeless.

Yodelling in the hills

More photos from under the bed. Taken again when I was 16, these were for my final collage art exam. My mum made the dress and styled my hair in to this fetching plait and the paintings in the first two photographs are both by her (what a multi-talented lady she is). My project was based on dolls and camouflage, so here I am doing a selection doll poses and facial expressions, trying to blend in to the background (I'm actually currently re-visiting this theme having just read Baudrillard's The System of Objects, and his discussion of simulacra and simulation)
 On re-discovering these photographs I also found the dress, so maybe that will also make a re-appearance sometime soon.
