husband present

just bought the husband a surprise

he may or may not see this post -not really sure anybody knows im blogging again-

so im not going to say much more at this time..

y'all will see it when its in my greedy hands! his hands

pin ups & hot rods

came across some photography by david perry

basically badass chicks with equally cool cars

 

here's some wikipedia to start:

-A pin up pin-up girl is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture-

 -Hot rods are typically old classic American cars with large engines modified for linear speed-
-A rat rod is a style of hot rod or classic car that, in most cases, imitates or exaggerates 

the early hot rods of the 1940s, 1950s, and early-1960s-

-Most rat rods appear "unfinished", as only the vehicle's bare essentials are driven-

the first print i saw was Pink Tattoo above, possibly slutty but also charming

she led me to others:

 Rock-a-Billy Queen Rat Rod

Bluegrass Rat Rod

Hot Rod Pin Up Girl

Chinatown

Chop Top Street Rod

West House Deuce

Pink Tattoo is still my favourite, im considering buying a print for one of my walls

catgirl

everybody knows im a t-shirt kind of girl

i got this catgirl over at ivory jar, cut off the sleeves and voila

 

am also currently into lots of gold bling, hence the ghetto hoops

 

the full look as posted on instagram

filling up the spaces



couple of months ago the husband and i went for more tattoos

he's already been for more since these pictures, he's filling up way fast

 

i got one, he got three

 

the long nails theme is repeating!

15 feb 2014

i guess the biggest news of the last few months:

the bf and i got married in february, i am now a WIFE!

 

mr & mrs in the church

 

and at the party

 

and a reluctant mr joining my selfies :p

gone but back

...summer has gone...

it always seems to me that a regeneration comes in with the cooler air

i can't say that i havent been thinking about what to do the blog

but to my surprise ive also had other people mention it to me 

from friends to distant acquaintances and even strangers

judging by analytics its still being visited in much higher volume than id expect (yay!)

 

i understand that real life has a habit of getting in the way

but its always sad when loved blogs disappear.. so i want to keep my own going

 

ive been seeing a lot of cyprus blogthings going on right now:
starting up from scratch, collaborating, being sponsored, redesigned and/or coming back, its definitely interesting

 

so here i am too

lets see what happens!

vintage ck t-shirt, zara jeans, stradivarius coat
