About Me |
|
My ambition as a child was to be a chorus girl and have a fully stocked cocktail cabinet, ambitions I have achieved through the Actionettes and finding a chap with the same appreciation for Harry Craddock as I. I love black and white films and spend most of the time lusting over the suits, dresses and shoes worn by the delightful ladies and trying to work out exactly how I could make them. I have a growing collection of vintage style clothes made by me and have started making my own vintage-style lingerie, a selection of which can be bought on ebay . |
|
My Interests |
|
| Most things from the 1930s-50s, lazing around drinking cocktails whilst watching films, dancing, sewing, vintage fashions, stockings, baking vegan cakes, spending time with my gent, dressing up for no particular reason, shoes- especially high heeled round toes gloves, trying to grow things on the allotment, lindy hopping, knitting (although very slowly!), dancing with all-girl dance troupe the Actionettes , hats, gramophones and finding good 78s | |
I'd like to meet:do you dance? do you make cakes? do you sew? hoorah! |
