I thought I would treat you to a fun little shoot I did in the snow on Saturday! A little bit of vintage pinup for the festive season. ‘Yule’ love it!
Wearing an original 1950’s gold lame swimsuit; originally used in a circus in LA, 1940’s rubber and fur over boots and a 1930’s fur muff with ruched silk on the back with a hidden purse pocket. The boots are wonderful as you just wear your own mid-heel shoes inside. They act as wellies to keep the rain, snow and mud off your footwear!

Huzzah! It’s that time of year again where we all get to dress up and be part of something truly epic! Goodwood Revival is back in all its Harris Tweed glory. I cannot wait to sing in the VIP area again, with its fantastic vintage BBC radio set up and see all the wonderful Goodwood actors, staff and racing drivers once more. Although this year’s event sold out as quickly as it went on sale, you are in with a chance for next years event, so let me entice you with some of last year’s pictures…
Entertaining the evacuee children with a little bit of Gracie Fields.
I had just gotten to the VIP area and was doing ‘once round the room’ saunter, when a waiter turned round, saw the outfit and dropped a jug of orange juice down me by accident. Sticky, but hilarious! Had to use someone’s hair dryer behind the scenes.
The sound effects for the radio shows!
Recreating old radio shows from the original scripts. An absolute hoot!
For one of the VIP areas you had to walk through a 60’s record shop!
Another VIP entrance. Absolutely incredible England football team dressing room, including a mini pitch outside!
My wonderful boys of No.26. Can’t wait to see them again! Andrew Wareing’s 1964 BRM F1 car, P261
The adorable pedal car race. My personal favourite!
They look tough, but they are pussy cats really…
I asked for a strong tea with a tiny splash of milk. The girl Pantone matched it to the beige table cloth…
The gorgeously suave LM and his chum.
First World War Exhibit Entrance at War and Peace Revival 2014
Always lots to gawp at!
Some vintage stalls were just an old boar….
This talented lady was crocheting berets. I bought the one she is just finishing here as it matched my Heyday coat!

You weren’t there maaaaan!

Mr Mew modelling a rather dashing look in ridiculous heat…but the boy was determined.
Forget Woody’s Roundup, this is Patton’s version!
Just reading our favourite military magazine!
Visiting my wonderful friends at their stall. I look slightly Suffragette-esque!
The gorgeous Luna at the Heyday stall wearing her ‘Poppy Nipple Hat’
The staff at the show are always so attentive! Lee Parker either proposing to Luna’s big toe or massaging her foot. I will let you decide the most attractive scenario.
My new half and half act!
Taking in the scenery with my darling General Patton
I was thrilled to once again perform at this gorgeous Art Deco hotel! It has been around 5 or 6 years since I was last there and was the 1st Burlesque dancer to perform at the hotel.
I thought I would share some of my photos with you and have more to come!

You can still purchase back copies of this Military World Magazine HERE! Don’t forget to bring yours to one of my performances and I will happily sign it for you!
Well what a wonderful show! I haven’t been for 6 years, so was surprised to see no entertainment or music at all at the event. Luckily I had an awful lot of exciting and random reunions that filled my time! Rex from War and Peace Revival, Paul from Wartime in the Vale, Dave King and the boys from Military World Magazine where I signed some copies of Issue 16, photographer Lee Parker, Maria and Ashley Elliot with their gorgeous little bundle, a wonderful chap who was on the Berliner journey and more besides!
I purchased a wonderful military bakelite microphone, which I later found doesn’t flipping work, so will have to try and get it fixed and a few other goodies. We really enjoyed the show and it was great to see some familiar faces and we made some new friends too!
For those interested in fashion – The shoes are Red Cross 1940’s and original 40’s silk fully fashioned stockings. The suit is 1940’s with crepe silk lining and has a matching HUGE stole in the same wool with pale pink fox trim (I did not bring it with me). My wonderful blouse is a waffle texture by Heyday Online! The hat is a beautiful 1930’s original with black velvet detailing and the pin on my lapel is tortoise shell and silver inlay with a George V crest (1st World War). The Muff is 1930’s/ 40’s with a zip purse pocket (I know, sooooo handy!!!) and crepe silk interior.
