A woman with the fashion sense of a magpie who likes to mix it up but with a hint of rockabilly vintage and her tongue firmly in her cheek. An experienced stylist, model and burlesque performer not to mention a dabbler in DJing and event management. Oh get her! All lardee dah!

My Wardrobe...
Ok so some new websites for your avid vintage shoppers.
First up is the wonderful British website 'Big Beautiful Barbara Brown'. I own one of her dresses in fact...its the Niagra Marilyn Monroe style dress. Arrived in two weeks custom sized so I was one VERY happy rabbit. Impressive to say the least. Her Marilyn Monroe inspired dresses can be found here.
I have also noticed she has a maternity 40s style wrap dress for all you expectant vintage mommas...can be found on this page...
Anyway I can recommend this lady. The only thing I wish there was available is fabric swatches online so I have a clearer image of what the overall 'look' will be.
Another site is 'Oh My Honey'. Admittedly I have not ordered anything from this site but lets just say when a certain invoice is paid to me I will be rectifying that. I particularly love her couture dresses modelled beautifully by the burlesque poppet Millie Dollar...I am also in love with the ivory tulle heart dress. I know a lot of people love this lady...I have seen many a burlesque performer advertise her site...
My last offering is '21st Century Foxy'. With the likes of burlesque starlets such as Anna Fur Laxis and Slinky Sparkles it certainly looks wonderful. I love the mix of handmade British designs and the imported Stop Staring brand that is famous amongst pinups both here and abroad. A particular favourite of mine is is the Hawaiian wrap style dress found here. I am tempted to buy as I need some sunshine as this dreadful British summer was so short lived
