The Baddest Biatch on the Gold Coast


Miss Hannah Bowd doing us proud!

I want, want, want THIS!

The Bed Troll






Miss Jillian Shannon, the raddest chick to ever grace this earth has been painting, stitching and "finger-banging" up a storm lately. Her work is a series of hot, kooky chicks with "sperm hands," tattoos and bunny ears on calico. I'll post more of her stuff soon...

Black Rebel Motorcycle Boots



My Husband and I bought our house about 8months ago and we are still decorating it slowly with crazy bits and pieces that we pick up at markets, art from friends, instruments, surfboards and bits of Haydn's 1964, Ford that he is building pretty mutch from scratch. We have decided to do a mirror wall, full of retro mirrors that will cover one full wall in the guest bedroom or study. So here are some shots of my old motorcycle boots that I got about a year ago from American Rag in Melbourne, taken in a couple of mirrors we have scrounged together so far.

Flanno and Feathers






I was never the type of girl who could get amped about "flano" pajamas. I always said flannelette was for people who dont get any action (if ya know what I mean). But now with the whole Kurt Cobain, 90's grunge Flano revolution I have been awakened to the unbelieveable comfort that anything made out of this fabrication can bring. Lazy comfort dressing is now somewhat accepted. Sounds good to me!

The leather and feather belt is sadly not owned by me, but by this chick Georgia who I work with. Pretty insane $3 purchase from an Op Shop. I love the buckle detail and the feather insert. So gorgeous and quite unique.

My Next Project....

Click to enlarge.

Im a little hesitant posting this because alot of the time - okay, most of the time - I am all talk and no action. But... this dress is to be my next project! I am totally in love with these shots off dropstitch a really cool Perth streetstyle blog. I used to live in Perth so I love looking at this site!
I love the colours and the lace vs block fabrications. The design I have illustrated up is a little on the boring side but I think with a dress like this it is definately better to be simple!

Electric Lady Land





I have always had a thing against wearing animal print clothing - I've seen too many crusty old ladies whilst I was growing up on the Gold Coast, who strutted their stuff wearing full on leopard print. They always had heaps of gold jewellry dripping off their ears, necks and wrists and hot pink lipstick smeared across their trout pouts, as well as the obligatory peroxide hair and orange fantasy tan. Niii-ce!
So, when I first saw this leopard print top, in the raddest vintage store I was a little hesitant. I felt a bit hipocrytical because I actually really really liked it - lots. It reminded me of the 1950's rockabilly chick who was all about Betty Page, Hot Rods, Ed Roth, Polka dots and platforms. So I bought it and here it is. I think it will be alright as long as I don't get any fantasy tans!
