Muriel and Charlie Webb

A few years ago my Nanny (my grandmother) gave me her old computer, on it there was a great deal of old family photos. The computer itself has long since died but I was able to dig up some of the photos recently so I thought I would share.

My nanny Muriel. I'd like to think that I look a bit like her. :D

Nanny and her sister Joan.

My Grandad Charlie.

Nanny, What a betty!

This just looks like the best holiday ever.

Arn't those glasses amazing?!

Grandad and a friend of his in Germany.

This photo was saved as The Custard House Gang. Nanny tells me The Custard House was the name of a pub where she used to go dancing every Saturday.

On their Wedding day.

I may be a little bias but I think she looks just amazing.

I hope I look as beautiful on my wedding day.

Nanny and my dad, Leslie.

Look how smart dad looks!

Flash forward to the late seventies. Left to right:

There you have it, the Webbs!

I hope you enjoyed,

Purple

Night before last I felt like a change. A purple kind of change. :D

Blitz II

Just two snaps from my camera phone before the run of Blitz (and before I was close to finished.)

Blitz

Just last week a series of student choreographed dances called ‘Blitz’ opened and I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to design and construct the costumes for one of the pieces.

The choreographer wanted an ‘other worldly’ feeling for the costumes in an earthy palette. I think I achieved that. Well, I hope I did. A lot of the time when I get free reign on things like this I always seem to stray in the 1950s vision of the future or Space Vixens.

I was so busy leading up to the opening that I didn’t get any proper photos of the costumes either on stand or dancer (besides two snaps on my mobile phone). So all I have to show you, my lovely readers, is the ONE ( :( ) professional photo from the WAAPA hired photographer and a handful of shots that a friend snapped from the theatre. That neither shows the costumes very well. I hope I’ll be able to get some better photos before we bump out next week.

Next time I'll be more on the ball with photos,

Cecile Mimieux

The one, the only; Cecile Mimieux! Isn’t she a babe?! Cecile Mimieux was the wonderful contestant in Miss Burlesque Australia that I made the costume for mentioned in this blog post. The photos that we took on the night came out in a blur so these are by A&C Photography.

Doesn't she make it look adorable? I am so happy I got to make a costume for such an amazing person.

Two Ladies

Lately, I have been helping out at the local burlesque events selling merch and other trinkets. It's a whole lot of fun and I get to meet some amazing people. Best part of it is I get to wear anything I please so I've been having a blast in one of the "Two Ladies" costumes from the musical Cabaret that my uni put on in the beginning of the year.

Now tell me, is this not the most fun costume ever?
