Vintage goddess hair in under 5 minutes!

I just came across this fantastic ‘How To’ video revealing the secret behind an immaculate 1940s ‘victory roll’ hairstyle! So simple and easy!

Now all I need to do is to get my hands on some ‘rats’ and start rolling!

Shoe love at first sight!

Today, I saw the most beautiful pair of heels I have ever seen in my entire life!

I was walking down the street when I saw a woman passing with the most incredible shoes I had ever seen. I could not stop myself from gasping out loud when I saw them, and as she walked by, I stared in stunned silence until I had to utter the feeble line ‘I *LOVE* your shoes!’

She smiled and thanked. As she walked past and I kept staring the shoes, I saw the red undersoles. Silly me, of course I did – they were red velvet Louboutins – who bloody well wouldn’t?

When I got home I had to google ‘red velvet Louboutin’ and the first result I got was the same shoes that was made of my wettest dreams.

Channelling my inner Domestic Goddess

For some reason I just find the whole 1950s housewife idea so incredibly attractive. I love the clothes, lingerie, hairstyle, makeup, and I – of course – absolutely adore the shoes!

I have just realised that I lack an apron. Now how much more appealing is housework if you think about prancing around the house in stiletto pumps and a sexy lil apron during?

I just can’t decide between the two three of these:

Dita Von Teese hiding a lesbian porn past?

I just came across this article in The Sun while searching for more photos on her lingerie line for Wonderbra.

BUSTY new Wonderbra model DITA VON TEESE has a secret hardcore porn past, The Sun can reveal.

The stage queen — famed for making the burlesque show mainstream — starred in a kinky lesbian movie.

Explicit clips of the 35-year-old being spanked and pleasured with a bizarre sex toy by women have emerged online.

If anything, this only makes her sexier in my eyes… nothing like a lil hidden lesbian porn past to add a bit of an edge to a raunchy celebrity…

50s-style pinup today: The Vanities Girls

The Vanities Girls
Since 1992, the magazine’s Vanities section has opened with a full-page portrait of a promising young star. In September 2006, we tweaked the format: the Vanities opener now features an up-and-coming actress in a 50s-style pinup shot. These shapely ingénues are on the cusp of fame or have just hit it big; they have names you need to know and faces you won’t have trouble remembering. Here’s a look at all the bombshells who’ve struck a playful pose in the new retro style.

More Teese about Dita’s smoking sexy debut lingerie line for Wonderbra

I can’t wait for the launch of her lingerie line so that I get my hands on them. I dare say I will be ordering the majority of the range online…

Sexy Science by Dita implies that they will be revealing a promotional video on September 15th. Keep and eye out and here’s a preview Teese:

Corset shopping

Black satin Femme Fatale Strapless corset

I’ve been coveting a corset for years but for some reason haven’t gone out of my way to acquire one.

I guess at first I didn’t know where to get one, and once I did, the whole goth and emo thing was all over the shop already. And the last thing I want is to find myself classified as one of either group. Or any other subculture screaming their little hearts out to be noticed amongst their army of cloned ‘individuality’. No thanks.

I’m just a big fan of spicing up my feminine flair with a tad of fetish items. I mean, a perfect hourglass figure, who wouldn’t want it?

During one of my recent lingerie binges, I was referred to Gallery Serpentine in Enmore. They specialise in goth wear and have a wide range of real boned corsets.

After trying a few different styles on, I chose Femme Fatale Strapless – the one with the most ’50s fetish pinup feel to it. It has a gorgeous sweetheart shaped neckline, lacing in both back and front (cleavage control ladies!) and takes about 5-6 inches off the waist. As a bonus this style is quite roomy in the bust area and can therefore accommodate my breasts.

I wanted mine made out of black satin and ordered an additional modesty panel* under the back lacing as I don’t find back cleavage overly attractive. They didn’t have any size 8s in stock, and since I wanted mine slightly modified, I had to order one in and wait 4 weeks for it.

To be completely honest, it really isn’t comfortable to wear. But breathing is well overrated, right?
