Outfit Roundup - Three Fringe Shows

What I wore to see Drags Aloud At the Movies, last Wednesday.

Outfit details: hair flower - Diva; gloves - gift; belt - gift; 1940s crepe dress - Gilles Street Market; seamed stay-ups - Jonathan Aston; vintage heels - Salvo's.

I got quite a few compliments on my hair that night (one of them being from one of the drag queens I saw later - I can't remember her name for the life of me, though), which made me happy because I just threw the style together, as it were, at the last minute as I didn't set my hair that day.

This coat, whilst being utterly gorgeous, presented somewhat of a conundrum for me. You see, it has a real fur collar and I always swore I would never wear real fur. However, it's vintage (I actually picked it up at a Salvos for a steal) which means that, not only am I not actually supporting the fur industry, I'm also recycling. I still don't like fur (the feel of it near my skin is rather repulsive) but I love this coat so I'll keep it for now. If you do buy fur, please only buy vintage or second-hand fur because, as horrible as it is that any article of clothing used to be a living creature, at least it hasn't been killed recently and no money is going to the current fur industry.

Conundrum aside, I had a wonderful night! The show was fantastic as, of course, were the costumes.

The next show was Rich Fulcher's An Evening With Eleanore The Tour Whore. I didn't get a full length shot (I wore this dress) but I took a couple of photos when my friend Stef and myself went into Amococo, which was a lovely experience.

Then, last but certainly not least, Saturday night I went to see Uni and Her Ukulele at the Electric Light Hotel. I am a terrible blogger and did not take any photos but here is photographic evidence (from left to right in that picture: Uni, myself, my friends Kate and Stef) that I was actually there. Uni was excellent as was Meredith Axelrod who also played...and, of course, Radio Spectacular! Phebe and I were doing the same course at TAFE (she is in her third and final year, now) but I had never seen a Radio Spectacular gig until Saturday night - it was definitely a fantastic show. Oh. And this is what I wore -

Outfit details: vintage tiki pendant - Salvo's; top - op-shopped; bracelet - etsy; skirt - Goodwill; stockings - Love Kylie; shoes - K-Mart.

I was going to write a little more but I am terribly exhausted after a day of somewhat successful op-shopping so I shall say good evening to you all and until next time!

Love,

P.S. Just noticed how miserable I look in the first few pictures - blimey!
