After doing quite a bit of lurking, I decided it was impolite to stand in a corner swirling my White Lady...so I've touched my hair to make sure the silver filet and fascinator are in place, shifted the dress so the bead fringes are all untangled and swinging, pulled my shoulders back and walked up to a group of people chatting to say "g'day!" (Or the more elegant, non-antipodean equivalent of the phrase).
I've got a wide range of historical interests - from the Amarna period of Ancient Egypt's 18 Dynasty on downwards - but I seem to have settled most comfortably in the 1920s. Vintage beaded dresses, silk velvet, chiffon, a Dutch Doll bob, the California Ramblers playing in the background and a cocktail in hand. It all adds up to make me a very happy lady!
Love the tenor of conversation in this place - tone and subject are perfect. If you could do with a flapper who loves to dance on tables, dress up, and who knows that if she has a few too many Singapore Slings she can become gin-coherant, I'm your girl!
