Getting started again

Not blogged in a while. I'm feeling really well rested and no longer suffering from a summer neurosis and "What am I going to do with my life?" kind-of-situation. All the panic has been abeited and I've set out lots of lists and exam prep - the royal mail is now the biggest bain in my life. Since coming back across the atlantic, black literaure has been making a resurgance in my bookcase; parelleling the race season on channel 4 and Nick Griffin's infamous appearance on Question Time. Aside from Pan-africanism, colonialism and the getting to grips with global zeitgeist - Betty Grable gives me some welcome relief in the way of uber realism and flowing aqua gowns. So, I thought I'd add a bit of sparkle with some screen stills from various films of hers across that WWII era.





I plan on recreating the outfit in the last still, but at this moment in time I'm chanelling more of a Carmen Miranda look.
Cha Cha Ciao!
