Ilike the halter neck tops, but there's none I like in my size :(
I don't have the figure for swing dresses, the tight ones look better on me.

They're all so pretty
sadly I can't wear swing dresses. What looks cool, hip and intentional on other people, looks like I've raided a granny's wardrobe on me

I'm glad about this
as I have a few. I don't have one of those big net skirty things though.

God I love that look.

I'm glad that the rocker/psychobilly look has come back in over the last few years
Just hope that Pin Up Girl fashion becomes a little more prevalent now.

Were I to go for tattoos
I think I'd be quite tempted by those 50s horror/drag racer type designs. Lots of skulls etc.
(, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 13:07, Reply)
They're definitely 'in' right now
And I've seen some amazing pieces, but it's not for me.
As for horror, you could get a tattoo of Ol' Murder Eyes reaching out to touch you...

That's waaay to much horror for my old ticker to cope with.

Every time I close my eyes I see him closing in to kiss my neck
I've had fourteen showers and still feel dirty. Counseling has been booked.

I feel really creeped out just reading it.

I shuddered.
I could feel it happening all over again.

Better do your homework, eat your greens and pray each night
Or Ol' Murder Eyes will come for you!
(, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 13:15, Reply)
I'm going to the library at 4pm and I had salad for dinner last night.
I don't pray though.
I can see a hat in the distance.

You're going to end up scrubbing your skin off with bleach and wire wool
and sobbing in the shower before the week is through.

I'd also consider a whole-back tattoo
of the cover of Axis: Bold as Love by Jimi Hendrix, but
a) it'd cost a shitload
b) it'd fucking hurt
c) 'music' tattoos are a bit bent, non?
(, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 13:12, Reply)
Music tattoos aren't bent, no
A) and B) are correct though. Still, I reckon it'd look pretty damn sweet.
(, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 13:14, Reply)
Could you think of someone who'd do a good job of it?
And how much would you think it might be $$$-wise?
(, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 13:15, Reply)
There are a couple in London
Either at In2U or The Family Business.
A very rough guess at pricing would be a grand plus, easy. Some artists charge per piece, some per hour (some are fast, some are slow). Say maybe a couple of sessions for the linework, then four more for colour and shading at the very least.
(, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 13:18, Reply)
Hmmmm.
I am actually tempted by this, given your encouragement.
(, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 13:19, Reply)
Check out the sites for those two studios
See if any of their artists have work you like, and maybe go speak to them.
