Between The Gutter & The Stars (Outfit Post)

As requested... my lovely Jean Varon from Penny Dreadful.

I love the way it's part 60s-urban and part Gothic-revival (it has some wonderful black spiral piping, reminds me of edging on church ceilings). The setting isn't intentionally 60s-urban by the way, we just live over a shop, innit. Convenient if you like crisps as much as I do.

Anyway, enjoy. Tis picture heavy, word light...


"No I ain't seen 'im an' I ain't got no rent fer ya neither"
I would SO be a good Sweeny moll or 60s gritty film wife...
...check out that glare.

Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair,
Oh no, wait, it's all snapped off.
You shouldn't dye it so much luv.
See y'all.

  9. You look fabulous. I love the dress on you. I would be lethal if I lived over a shop. Luckily I have mild agoraphobia and my nearest one is a hundred steps. Yes I've counted.

    Sorry I didn't make Margaret's party. I had family stuff. It would have been lovely to meet you. One day I hope xx

  11. That's an amazing dress, it looks wonderful with your hair.

    Ahhh how I miss living above a shop. Not next-door to a pub though, that was just asking for trouble

  13. Oh what a frock!!

    We lived next door to a corner shop in uni. I swear they grew rich off our unrestrained urges for Fudge bars and other chocolate.

  14. Great frock - and outstanding sneer. I used to live above a bagel bakery. And before that next door to pub. Cream cheese Vs Beer - not sure which is worse...
