Say Cheesecake Photography shoot

 

 



Being one of the world's most apathetic people who gets mega excited about projects for about a month & then shrugs and announces "Meh. Over it!",  I love people who go after their dreams & goals. I mean get up off the lounge, drag themselves away from Beauty & the Geek and friggin do something about their life.
I'm a lazy schlub. I have dreams but I am too scared to leave my nice little cocoon & GO FOR IT.
I mean what if SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS.

On the big wide world of social media I am constantly pounded in my makeup soaked face with
PIN UP THIS & FUCKING PIN UP THAT. PIN UP PHOTO SHOOTS. PIN UP HAIR. PIN UP MAKE UP. PIN UP FUCKING BUTTONS. BLOODY PIN UP EVERYWHERE.
Now don't get your French knickers in a knot.. I do love pin up stuff... Heck I even had a shoot myself! I just think it's become a bit OVERDONE. I certainly don't call myself a Pin Up. I am just a simple (in every sense of the word) 1940s & 1950s era lovin' gal. This means I like most elements of those decades which happen to also include pin ups.

SO, when I saw that Say Cheesecake Photography were doing packages that were a 1930s inspired Circus carnival theme I thought "Thank friggin gawd someone is doing something DIFFERENT".

I booked in with the gorgeous Kimberley & Celesta, two of the sweetest dames you could meet.
Now, it admit that it was in their back yard with homemade back drops & without the latest photography & lighting equipment BUT what they lack in production value they make up in creativity & passion.

The two looks I ended being really happy with are what I like to call
"The Sexy but Sweet Showgirl" and "The I See Bad Things in your Future Fortune Teller"
or collectively entitled "HOLY SHIT CHECK OUT MZ VICKI'S TA-TAS" .

Despite the fact that it was STINKING hot we had a lot of fun and I really got my jollies from wearing some lovely super sucky-innery corsets.

Kimberley (the photographer) & Celesta (Hair & Makeup) are so lovely & I hope that their business starts taking off for them.
They have a couple of things to iron out to push them over the line into PROFESSIONAL but once they get there I think the sky is the limit.

Brizvegas Kustom Karnival

 

Last Sunday TBF & I were so stoked to hit the road & get to the Brizvegas Kustom Karnival at the Acacia Ridge Hotel. Yet ANOTHER awesome gig put on by Lori Lee of Robert Productions.

I decided to bust out my home-made 1/2 circle skirt that is red & white gingham with pics of little cartoon ants on it & go with a bit of a PICNIC vibe.  The weather was gorgeous & sunny & perfect.

HOW CUTE IS THE ANT PRINT?!!!



 

After a feed of yummy roast beef gravy & chips I couldn't wait to hit the markets. I was so happy that one of my favourite shops Western Wac had a stall. I bought a fantastic Mexican embroidered mu-mu to chuck over my togs (photos to come) this summer and was totally eyeing off the new Freddies of Pinewood "Lana" pedal pushers when TBF announced "If you want them then get the money out & get them!"
Well, here I thought I couldn't run! The pain in my knees was miraculously gone as I ran like Usain Bolt to the ATM before TBF could come to his senses.
I squealed like Ned Flanders as Kimmy handed them to me. SWEEEET!

 

Then it was time to head downstairs to get our boogie on. We scored a big table for our gang of misfits behind the mixing desk and settled in for a great arvo of music, talking gutter filth, taking 500 selfies, photobombing, groping & laughing.

MY GIRLFRIENDS ARE FREAKING HAWT.

THE LUCIOUS MZ SHERIBOMB

(this is her awesome Blog:  www.sheribomb.com.au )

 

The only I will say about the venue is that bottom room is SO HOT! ERMEGHERD!
Thank goodness some of us had the nouse to bring some fans to cool down. My 10 layers of makeup slap were threatening to melt off my face!
I didn't mind too much though because it gave me a good excuse to go back up to the markets that were in blissful air conditioning.

SOME OF OUR BIGGEST FANS

All the bands were freaking fantastic. (I did miss the first band The Zephyr Project because I was too busy stuffing my face & yabbering away upstairs). 
The other highlight of the day was getting to meet one of my Facebook friends.
I LOVE THE FACEBOOK. I have gotten to 'meet' so many awesome people that I never would have had the chance to chat to if not for the wonderful world of social media.
I got to meet the sauve bugger Uncle of Uncle Jim's Customs.

Finally it was time for the highlight of the day. MARTI BROM.
I hadn't seen her perform live before so I was really excited. I grabbed my fan & quickly headed upfront centre.
For a little chick she sure does have a mighty powerful voice. Like a mix of Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee & Loretta Lyn.
I looked like one of those possessed people you see at an evangelistic churches fanning my face like crazy & jumping up and down like looney! HALLEJUAH !!!!
I even managed to convince a couple of unsuspecting blokes to have a dance.
The sweat was pouring off of everyone (poor Marti under those lights!) but it was fantastic!
My two favourite songs she did were "Blue Tattoo" and I went positively ballistic when she sang "Great Shakin' Fever".

I was so stoked to get my photo taken with Mz Brom afterwards. She was so lovely.
Thanks again Lori Lee for another rip-snorta of a gig!





I don't know what people are talking about! She wasn't short at all!!
She was the same height as me!
