Welcome To Seattle

Fresh share! If you've never been to Seattle, this video is just as good much better than any travelogue...

However...if you're not familiar with Seattle neighborhoods and celebrities then it will probably make no sense at all...nevertheless it's got good beats.

Yes, darlings...I know it all looks incredibly appealing, but take it from your pal Gams...if you're new to the area, don't ever let anyone tell you BALLARD is trending. It very well may be, but anyone who's lived around here as long as I have knows it's just Ballard. You'll most likely be kicking out an old Norwegian who's lived his whole life there, just so your trendy-fucking-yuppy-ass can have your tacky little place in the sun. Oh, dear...sorry to rant, darlings...but believe me when I say Just Ballard....not Beverly-F'in Hills!!! Like it says in the song...Somebody had to go 'n say somethin'... Nevertheless....welcome to Seattle, Washington...The Evergreen State For More Than Just Trees. Have a pleasant stay. Checkout is 11 sharp. No exceptions.

 xoxo Blue Scholars mwahh!

Artful VOGUES

Galore Style

Darlings...let your fingers do the walking to my new PINTEREST page! I've created two boards so far...one called GALORE STYLE, featuring all kinds of glamorous goodies in my favorite color! The other is called BEE AND DUB and it features more fabulous things in a neutral palette. I hope you enjoy them...and have fun re-pinning! XOXO

Let's Bring Back...

Darlings, wouldn't it be heavenly fun to bring back such intriguing, hidden messages with gloves, hankies and parasols...along with many other forgotten customs, fashions and frivolities? Don't you miss some of the cool stuff we had...and especially what we never had? We are not alone! I recently picked up a marvelous book from my everlovin' local library, called "Let's Bring Back", by Lesley M.M.Blume. It's been out about a year now, but I hadn't seen it before, and if you haven't had the pleasure, here's a delightful little teaser that should inspire you hunt it down at your local library or bookseller! Trez Divoon!

Fast Fashion

Last night's Seattle Erotic Art Festival was one helluva swanky, spanky party...I've never seen so many corsets in one room...and this glamorous gal was sportin' one of 'em! Matter of fact, I'm terriblehhh proud of the costume I threw together at the last minute with only pennies to spare!

Fortunately, I just happened to have some beautiful fabric laying around...sheer black georgette with a shimmering velvety red rose print...

...which I turned into a long split skirt. I cut a couple extra scraps of it and covered the cups of my black strapless bra...just a few hand stitches around the edge so I can undo it later.

I took another scrap and wrapped it around a little plastic hat form to make a tiny pillbox with a big red feather!

Next, my trusty black satin corset that I got at least ten years ago...one of those wardrobe investments that just keeps paying off! Black fishnets...long black gloves...my favorite boots...a vintage black velvet capelet...sparkly red earrings...red lipstick...a glass of white wine....et voilà!

Gamalamadingdong!
