Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all our fabulous readers, family and friends.

This year has really been full of suprises. Its been surreal, fabulous, sometimes sad but constantly challenging and exciting. We feel that this is the year that our little blog has started to morph into what we want it to be and we're so glad to have such supportive followers. 

We've partied hard, cried, danced, moved, traveled, met some wonderful new people, modeled, hosted an event, appeared in major magazines and partied a bit more. We can't wait to get started on 2012. 

We have this thing that we call 'girl love'. Its when instead of bitching or 'girl hating' (like the world around us often encourages to do) we try to support and spread the 'girl love'.  

Thank you for your support and big 'girl love' to you all.

P.s. Kisses to our male readers.....all two(?) of you.

Readers, Can you help me??

ANITA BERBER(1899- 1928)

I hope you have all had the most wonderful Christmas full of the three 

key festive ingredients.  Family, friends and food! 

On December 29th I will be jetting off to Berlin for the forth time this

 year. I love this city so much so I couldn't imagine a more fitting place to

 celebrate the new year and my birthday on the 5th of January. I will be 

conducting this trip in full Weimar Republic style emulating the most 

eccentric cabaret star of the period Anita Berber. For those of you who 

aren't familiar with her antics Anita was often sited walking around hotel

 lobbies naked apart from a sable fur and a silver locket full of cocaine. She

 also had a pet monkey, but I think I'll stick with my mouse. 

My Plans for the trip involve a lot of drinking, record shopping and a fair 

bit of culture, I have plans to revisit the Bauhaus museum as well as the new

 national gallery. I was wondering if any of you wonderful readers have any 

advise for me on things I simply cannot miss! I know I have been to the city

 so many times now but I really just don't want to miss out on anything

 special there is too see. 

Also if we have any readers in Berlin who would like to meet up for a coffee

 or show me a part of their city I would love to meet you ladies so get in touch!

Lots of seasonal love and kisses

500 Followers! Thank you!

Aimee and I are so friggin chuffed to have 500 + followers!  Thank  you so much for

 reading all our drivel.  It's our dream to one day get you all together in the same room

 and give you each the biggest hug. 

Last night we went out to celebrate this milestone as well as helping out our friend 

Carla by hosting the Hackney Working Girls Club Christmas do!  We wore showgirl

outfits teamed with big 60s eye makeup. I defiantly overindulged on Christmas

spirit and am feeling rather worse for it today. 

So want to thank you again for all you lovely comments, we read and appreciate 

every last one.. Some have  even been known to  make us a bit teary!  

Please do keep following and I hope you will enjoy reading  the blog for many more 

months to come.

The Chap Ball 2011

Hello all!

So we've been away a bit recently as we've both started new jobs, have university deadlines and tis the season to be stupidly busy. So, a little while ago we went to 'The Chap Ball' and had ourselves a fabulously drunken time. We were joined by our lovely new friend Sophie who we met at the sale and social a few months ago.

Excuse the kitchen photos - bah dark evenings. 

Harriett had a little outfit disaster with a pesky 30's gown. But what can't be saved by a 30's showgirl outfit?! Not much I say. Harriett found it in a charity shop maybe a year ago. It was also owned by one of Frank Zappa's backing singers in another life. Worn with vintage feathers and a lovely 30's headpiece she bought in Sweden. 

Sophie wore a gorgeous velvet 50's gown from eBay and gorgeous 30's shoes she bought from our recent trip to Lewes. 

I wore my new (to me) 30's 'Ginger Rogers' dress which I bought from American eBay. I think its an original theatre costume as it has a number in it and the date '1932' written inside. I love it so, it was so damaged when I bought it and I spent so long sewing sequins onto it!

To the bar!

We tore up the dancefloor with Jenny and Fleur. 

And then done some more drinking, dancing and shameless flirting. 

Cheers to Hanson Leatherby (check out his amazing photography here) and Andrew for the photos and Andrea for looking after us. 

Bring on more parties I say.

Love Aimee xx 

We now have a Tumblr!

Hi all!

If you follow us on facebook you may already know that we now have a tumblr! It occurred to us that we'd really like a good medium to share all the fabulous vintage photos that inspire us and all the quick snaps of us that don't make the blog. We thought the tumblr bandwagon was perfect for this. 

Some of the images we've uploaded....

All we need now is some followers ;)

Love Aimee xx 

P.s. I'm really new to tumblr and if anyone has any favourites do recommend!
