Retro-ing up the place with appearances all over town!
December is proving to be far more busy and fun than I thought it would be this year. It’s always a busy time, what with the shopping, the school plays, the extra juggle of children on holidays and what not. But this December, although it has only just started, is shaping up to be the most fun and fancy time I’ve had in a while.
This month I’m helping Matchbox and Kitchen Aid with a really cool new contest they are running, in which you can win allkinds of cool prize including your favourite retro coloured Kitchen Aids! All you have to do is dress up in your retro best and take a photo with a Kitchen Aid to enter. I’m having real trouble picking my favourite with the glossy cherry red and hot pink vying for the lead.
Knowing that not everyone is as vintage obsessed with me, they’ve enlisted my help to teach the secrets to getting a vintage look and help you with your entries. I spent last Sunday down at Chadstone to launch the contest, and will be appearing again in store at Westfield Doncaster between 11-2pm to do another demonstration and answer your questions. If you have a free afternoon or would like to come down and play Kitchen Aid pretty up with me, make sure to head on down early as it gets very busy! You can find out more about the Kitchen Aid contest details here. (If you happen to be in Queensland, Mistress Chrissy of The Lindy Charm School for Girls will be at Westfield Chermside from 11-2pm this Sunday for you too!)
Listening closely!

With everyone’s thoughts suddenly turning to what to buy for Christmas, Some Fancy Ladies™ have been flat out doing store appearances for our 2012 pinup art calendar. It’s proving to be a hit with young and old, both men and women. Some of the delightful old dears we’ve run into have told us all kinds of stories from their youth, their wardrobes and even some secret saucy moments. I’m always honoured when we get to meet people and write personal messages on their calendars for them. We’ve had messages of birthday love, Sweet 16′s, Christmas stocking surprises and even something to give grandpa an extra “get well”! Friday night Bonnie Rose and I were in at Flowers of Canterbury on Mailing Road in amongst some of the most gorgeous flowers to meet and greet. Aren’t they just stunning?!
I can be a bit of a ham..
Our swanky calendars and cards
I just adore the colours in here!
If you haven’t ordered your copy of the calendar yet and want to see it in the flesh, you’ll find it locally now in store at Flowers of Canterbury, and Anton’s Clothing in Melbourne Central! Now, time for a bit of a sit down I think!
You gals look gorgeous! Great job =) I especially love the pinup calendar! Especially how it looks like the old paintings! Thanks so much for sharing!

Argh! The metallic pink Kitchenaid looks gorgeous. But am still lusting after the Ice color, much more authentic looking. Or maybe the Wonder Woman one….. Maybe I’ll get lucky at this year’s Wedding Anniversary.
The first photo of you is divine. Definately a promo shot!
Oh I LOVE those kitchenaids. I hope you can get them in the UK. I would love if they did a retro aqua colour, it just reminds me of 50s-70s seaside resorts and clinking china cups on a pier cafe, which is what always reminds me of baking (my gran, a great baker, lived near such a resort).
Everything about Kitchen Aid is always so retro chic, I love it! You look like you’re having the time of your life
Also thank you so much for helping me discover “Kiss Me Deadly!” I’m very excited about getting some of their items after the holidays
Love that pink Kitchenaid! And those frocks to die for as always!
The purple/cobalt blue dress looks marvelous on you! Definitely your colours, wow! Esp., with the red shoes, nails and lips
