Too cool for school

On Saturday I was shooting a beautiful model and the location was so gorgeous, I had to do a few self portraits, even though I was decidedly boring in my working outfit. 

(Overalls are perfect for storing lens caps, spare batteries, 

brushes, flashes and other photography paraphernalia.)

Anyway, only twenty minutes down the road...

Snow! 

It was such a perfectly clear, sunny day...

Mysteriously long forgotten boots on table...

And look at this incredible woman...

Such a natural beauty...

And she's another Wonderwoman...

...runs her own business, manages a family with two little kids, volunteers at a nursing home... 

plus she is an absolute sweetheart

I think I'm awesome when I do up my pants 

and eat breakfast on the same day.

There was a bubbling brook. 

I am not even exaggerating. Bubbling.

It was beautiful. And she was beautiful. 

And I did up my pants and ate breakfast. 

Bam! Boss of the world.

Gritty unrealism, a lady and me

I picked up this fabulous 1980s party dress 
in an op shop last week.

I would have to remove a couple of ribs to do up the zip, so it's held together with safety pins, glue, twigs and spit... but I don't care. The skirt is extra twirly and the bodice makes my rack look awesome. Priorities.

There is new art in my favourite tunnel of love, 

so it was time for a romp with mi Ada Prada.

She's once, twice, three time a lady. 

Oh my god, look at my package!

Passing arseholes were treated to a sweet smile 

and a quick leather gloved salute from my talent.

I'm just once, twice a lady. 

But I'm more than a woman.

Ada wore: 

Dress and white flower - Retail

Floral headband - Made it herself

Turquoise earrings - Vintage fair

Bags - Vintage store

Pretty pink rose - Darling Helga

Brooch - Gift

Coat, necklaces and boots - Op shopped

I wore:

Friday True Story

Last night I went to the chemist (pharmacy, drug store) to have my latest antibiotic prescription filled. My fourth sinus infection of the season has caused swelling/bleeding in my throat and it's very difficult for me to swallow tablets, so my doctor has prescribed a liquid suspension. 

The pharmacist calls out "Cooper Smith" and a blonde lady steps forward. The pharmacist asks "How old is Cooper?" and the blonde lady says 
he is 18 months old. They discuss the antibiotics for a minute 
then the blonde lady leaves.

Then the pharmacist says "Sarah Misfit" and I step forward. The pharmacist asks "How old is Sarah?" and I reply "Er... forty two..."

The lady standing next to me snorted so hard, her hearing aid squealed! 

Happy weekend!

The tally to date: 

2 x towels, 1 x pig toy, 1 x jumper, 

1 x dress, 1 x door mat, my nerves

While in a meeting with my boss today I briefly caught sight of my own reflection and got a fabulously inappropriate case of the giggles when I spied the polka dot bow perched absurdly atop my head. This is why they pay me the mediocre bucks! 

How fucking delightful!

Remember The Terminator aka Destructodog? 

Well...

Yesterday I wore the frock below. When I saw these pics last night I was so frickin bored with my outfit that I vowed to a) never post these pics, and b) ditch the dress, stat!

I don't know if it's the dress or me, or the boring way I wore it, or the (gag) collar, or just because I'm feeling kinda bleh at the moment, but I absolutely hate these pics and the dress and according to Vix's Law*, the dress had to go.

When I got home today, Destructodog 

had done the deed for me - the dress was shredded, on the floor, tag and buttons ripped off. I guess she hated this dress too!

Thanks, Annihilator! 

Speaking of the dog, some of you expressed concerned that her destructive behaviour is a sign of anxiety... please be assured, she is not anxious, she's just nine months old, bored and completely frickin mental. Hell, I'm forty two, bored and completely mental!

*Vix's Law: If it doesn't make you feel fabulous, get rid of it!
