Something shady

Do you know how hard it is to find a floor lamp? Real hard, like really hard, whilst perusing eBay I found the most wonderful reproduction Victorian lampshades. I need to sell my soul or just save it to buy one, but then I need a base. This year I want to figure out how to do basic electrical wiring, please do hold me to this as it will be really useful.

Style Icon: Bettie Page

Hello there my dears, how is the new year treating you?

 Thought it was about time I do another style icon post and I know Bettie is an obvious choice in the vintage community but she has always been one of my idols, I discovered Bettie and Dita when I was around 15 and they still have a big hand in my 'style'. I had the Bettie fringe for so many years and always want it back everytime I see her. Anyway lets drool over all of Bettie's gorgeous undergarments, I need to start making more of my own clothes like she did!
