31/01/10 - vintage shopping

Today I went to the retro market at the Burlesque Lounge in Northbridge run by Sugar Blue Burlesque and came across these fantastic bargains. I found 50's ceramic ducks for my wall which I have been on the look out for, for years (I have 3 tattooed on my back).

$20 for both of them, Bargain

$15 nice Victoriana style and cute pin tuck detailing

Today my boyfriend and I went to Perth Zoo for the first time in 8 years (even though for over 2 years I have lived only a 10 min drive from it) something that I have been meaning to do for ages but have never got around to it.It was 31C so a lot of the animals where asleep due to the heat but I got to see the penguins and the otters that are my favorite animals there.

I have just come back from having a grate Indian curry dinner in Vic Park at my boyfriends favorite Indian restaurant. My hair is quite flat because I rode on the back of his Vespa to dinner which I love to do and for the first time in a skirt not shorts or pants was a new experience.

Yesterday I went to see the new movie Nine with my mum seeing that my other half would have slit his own wrists to not see it and I have to say I liked it. My favorite heroine in it was Marion Cotillard as Luisa Contini. I loved her portrayal of Guido Contini's long suffering wife especially her angry striptease to the song "take it all".

(sorry about the bad outfit shots I'm still trying to find a good place to take better photos in my house)
