Evening all! Excuse if this post is a little all over the place, my brain is fried from looking at code for the last 3 days. Yes I know today is supposed to be ACEO Friday but I’m so behind on posting I thought I’d scrap it this week and show you some photos from last weekend.

James and I went to Greazefest! What’s Greazefest? Well it’s a Kustom Kulture expo, basically full of classic cars, Rockabilly/Psychobilly music and 50-60′s culture! We go every year and it’s fantastic. These are the type of cars that you can expect to see at a Kustom Kulture expo:

I spent a lot of the day posing for photos with the “normal” people, very funny as I was wearing Hime Gyaru fashion not Rockabilly ^_^ Ah they are a bit similar so everyone assumes.

This car was so tiny! I can’t remember what model it was but it litterally came up to just above my waist!
So I decided to play out my Godzilla fantasies and pretend to crush it. Hime Gyaru is a fearesome monster! RRRAAARGH!

I can’t remember what this band was called but they played a lot! None of our friends were playing this year which was quite disapointing but oh well! I do miss bands like the Voodoo Kreepers, Bad Moon Company and Men Into Space, they were all awesome

This is one of my dream cars! Pity I can’t drive Can you imagine going on picnics in this though?!

This is one of James dream cars haha. My god it was very hot that day, this year there were so many more people than usual too so there was no shade. I ended up cowering under my parasol all day!
How cool is the inside?
There were even adorable kid’s cars done up in classic style! So cute!!

This was the main stage, there are always heaps of swing dancers but when we took this photo there were just a bunch of kids. It’s a big family day and it’s adorable to see the tiny little girls in their swing dresses or the little boys with their turned up jeans and quiffs.
Heehee after James took this I noticed you can see us both in the reflection!

Me next to my picnic car
Posing for a really nice old guy who loved this car ^_^ haha coming to Greazefest can make you feel like a celebrity!

After we walked around for 3 hours looking at the cars and market stalls I needed a break to sit. Look behind me to see the line for the food stall *_* I wanted a drink but decided to wait until we got home because it was craaaazy!

I did my nails specially for the day! James is in a psychobilly band called Sin Vida and their trademark is purple tiger stripes so this was for him ^_^ I even covered his double base with matching tiger stripe fur, it looks so cool! You can’t really see it here but the nails have silver lace on the tips and silver diamante bows.

I wanted more photos of James but he’s always so awkward when I try to take photos! He really wants a motor bike but I’m too scared he’ll fall off and die!

This is what you get when he won’t let me take real photos… Beard photos. Yay.

I also had to put up with this face everytime we turned a corner and he saw a new car! Imagine the sound effect of “AAAAWW YEAH! Look at that engine! Man that Slant 6 is so hot!” -_-’

Ok so I got one nice of us at least! AAAAAND… you can see my hair! What do you think? Yay or nay? I think the last blonde got voted down in my poll so what do you think of this one?

At the end of the day I realised my parasol had gotten broken some time during the day and I was very sad. We went to get pearl tea and Yogen Fruz (I’m going to review it next week) to cool down which put an awesome end to the day though. I only had this sulky face for a few minutes…

Lastly here I am doing a bad job of blending in. I had such a great day, I can’t wait until next year but I hope they change venues so there’s enough room for everyone this time!

What did you guys do this week?

So as most of you are aware I have been very lazy about editing my holiday photos! No more laziness!

Of course we have to have the obligatory landscape shot to show how pretty it was:

To be honest I’m not to big on birthdays… I mean wow I managed to not die for a whole year? Go me! I would much rather be celebrated for my achievements than my ability to not die

Look at my new pill box hat! I love it, James bought it as part of my present

Long way down! I was fairly casual on this holiday, more of a retro look than hime or princess. Fun style though!
I love over the top clothing but when you only have limited suitcase space it’s hard to pack more than one outfit!

We did *SO* much shopping. I had a blast.

See all this shopping?! Poor James took it upon himself to carry all my bags all day! What a gentleman! Ok this was slightly staged but that’s pretty much what it was like all day!

James’ Mum got me a Sally Hansen gift pack full of cool nail polishes and treatments, how nice!

One more landscape
Well I had a great time. Did you guys do anything fun this week?

Oh also I can’t remember if I already mentioned this but the second article I wrote on “Choosing a Logo” is up on WomenWiseMarketing. If you want to come read just clicky here.

I love a subtle tattoo on girls. I think sleeves are awesome but it really depends on what look you’re going for. I mean it probably wouldn’t look as hardcore and awesome if you were going for a look like Himegyaru, but even then who’s to say!

I really want to get a tattoo one day but I’m too scared of the pain! For a while I wanted to get a charm bracelet on my wrist but it’s the most painful place to get them and I’d probably only get 2 charms on my tiny wrist!

This one was given away as a gift to a client but click the picture to be taken to the etsy sale page
