Kittys Drawings

Hi Everyone!!
You know how I was going on about that photo-shoot I did with my friend Sally the other week? Well I have some pics for you! This is not all of them – There are more coming soon but I wanted to show you anyway.
The picture formatting is a bit different from my usual so I’m sorry if it looks untidy. It doesn’t do Sal’s pics justice as much as looking at them on her SITE or her Facebook page.

As you can see, she’s quite a talent! The pics are fantastic and it was such a fun day. Her vision was clear from the get-go and she organised the whole thing fantastically. Having participated in quite a few photo-shoots I know how important it is to have an excellent relationship with your photographer. This is especially important for weddings!

My dress is also borrowed from Circa – How awesome is it! Totally a cupcake dress. I loved traipsing around in it all day The location was amazing too – We went out to a 150 year old homestead in Inverleigh, the property of one of Sal’s friends’ parents. It was SO stunning – with views out towards Geelong and the coolest old brick barn. Not to mention our hosts were so lovely to let us use their property to take photos on!

Soooooo – that’s about all I’ve got to say…check out the piccies and follow the links to see more

One last thing…If I could kindly ask no one to download these pics or use them without Sally’s express permission. It’s really important to respect the work that artists put into their projects and distributing without consent is very poor form.
I know my regular readers wouldn’t do such a thing So my note goes out to those that stumble here via Google or wherever and might not have considered the implications of stealing someone’s intellectual property.

And so I don’t leave on a down-note….I’ll mention that I’ve been super lucky with winning stuff off blogs lately! I won a $50 voucher from The Paraders Vintage via My Happy Sewing Place (Fashions from the Past). I’ll have some photos of what I chose with my voucher soon.
Another winning was from Mel:Hot or Not – a La Madre Bakery sample pack with heaps of yummy shortbreads and things. I haven’t received that one yet but I’ll probably take photos before we nom the lot.

Well then – til soon….

Excuse the lack of many photos – I am pretty pathetic when it comes to posing. The urge to pull a stupid face is too strong! It’s very windy today too so that’s why my hair is all over the place.

Me and Jonny were out taking photos of graffiti in Collingwood. Saw a lovely car with it’s windows smashed in. Charming. I told Jonny if we move into the area eventually (Collingwood or Fitzroy will be possibilites), our house will have to be very secure. Eep.

Think I shall have to take more pics soon. Do you know long this took to get the colour right? I got to the hairdresser at 3pm and didn’t leave til 9:30pm!!! OMG! They did what is called a ‘back to back’ in hairdresser’s language which just means a full head of foils. Every. Single. Strand. In foils.
I am so so very grateful for the dedication the team at Biba Academy showed to getting my colour right! The founder of Biba, Paul Divitaris took over the completion of the colour cos all the students left around 7:30pm. I’m going back again in a couple of weeks to bring the red up some more…I had a permanent colour in from before that is why it took so long. But the next time I go it will not take anywhere near that time.
And I’m really really happy with the result! Its wonderfully bright and the exact shade I wanted. It’s brighter than the picture which is why I need more pics! Awesomeness.

I really recommend the peeps at Biba – Great prices and they wont let you leave until you’re happy with your cut or colour.

Well I better go. I have a Nintendo DS game review to write! Ciao!!

EDIT: I had to show you all what I put on layby this weekend! Despite not having ridden a bike in well over ten years, I bought this little baby yesterday. It really is true that you never forget how to ride cos I managed just fine cruising around on this in my HEELS and vintage 50′s dress. Teehehe! How retro and cool is it? Jonny also bought a bike and now we’re set for summer cruising. Can’t wait!!

Awesome!!
