Well, it’s only been nearly two months since I came back, but I thought I’d do some posts about my summer holiday… now that the sun is completely gone. It might work to remind me about when it was hot and my lovely summer clothes weren’t vacuum-packed into cotton bricks! I had the most amazing…

Last Call! A 3D printed adventure
Spoiler: not life size! About a month ago, I posted about an exciting project I was doing with British Airways for their campaign, for which they 3D printed me (!) and sent the miniature Fleur off to Istanbul to see what delights it could find. Sadly, I didn’t make it to any vintage shops, should there…
Mini Me, you complete me!
Well this is an exciting thing. A week or two ago, I was invited to the offices of British Airways’ ad agency to do something rather different. BA have recently launched a campaign called , a last-minute type service where you can book to jet off somewhere within the next month or so for bargain prices,…
Bingo wings
I haven’t been to a good old Blogger event for ages, so when my lovely friend Jayne from Jayne’s Kitschen invited me to go along to a Musical Bingo night underneath Pizza East, I threw caution to the wind and said yes. Actually, when I realised the venue, it was like I was a cartoon…
Field of Chap Dreams
I just did a double-take at the calendar because it’s now been over a month since the glorious Chap Olympiad and over 10 days since my last confession. I mean blog post. The whole of the last week was a complete write-off due to me undertaking a solid week of film extra work. I’ve been…
Vintage booze with Vintage News
A couple of weeks ago, I went on a Vintage Mafia (with honorary man) road trip! I drove… I didn’t take this picture! Our destination was Brighton and the birthday party of the beautiful Sadie, of Vintage News and the Vintage Vanity Case fame. This lady is just a doll – she is excellent at…
Whisky adventures: the Ardbog Ardblog
Not so long ago I went on another whisky adventure. This time it was to celebrate Ardbeg’s Ardbog Day. Sadly, I wasn’t invited up to the distillery in Islay but I did get to go along to the London celebrations where I sampled some amazing Ardbeg cocktails and got to dig around in a real*…
Roll up to the Ric Rac Club!
A couple of weeks ago, the other two Vintage Mafia girls and I put on another Ric Rac Club. This time, not to be outdone by our previous efforts, it had a circus theme! We left our costumes to the very last possible minute as we were all too busy organising to think about them……
Vintage London: Future Cinema’s Casablanca & Shawshank Redemption
On account of this ‘ere blog, I do get the chance to attend some really wonderful things. Last week, I went along to one of the last showings of Future Cinema’s Shawshank Redemption. It began as a Secret Cinema production before Christmas. For those who don’t know, Secret Cinema is exactly as it sounds, you…
It’s all Balls
Don’t worry, this post is entirely safe for work, containing no anatomical balls whatsoever. Except, perhaps, for the nagging ache in the front part of your feet after twirling the night away. I’ve been invited to the Kensington Palace Midwinter Ball on Thursday night and it looks like an amazing night, so I wanted to share…
