Coffee and a Shift Dress.

I sell vintage clothes & homeware at www.lovemissdaisy.com. I love the 1940's, 50's & 60's, bluegrass, dirty blues, musicals and the USA. I'm northern, a bit random and don't take very much seriously. Although I probably should.

Bullshit. Don’t pretend you don’t care about your birthday. It’s like watching a hooker pretend she’s out for a walk when cops drive by.

Mad Melvin - the angriest BBC local radio caller ever?→

davelee:

This hilarious clip comes from BBC Three Counties Radio this morning. I’m not sure we’ll be seeing Melvin at the Royal Wedding tomorrow, do you?

Or, in his words: “Yet some…. URGGGH!….Some….. OORHHH!”

Edit: Well this has gone a little bit, er, viral. Trying to get in touch with the 3CR team to see if they can do a follow up. Watch this space. Follow the show on Twitter: @jvsshow

Live simply so that others may simply live
A car sticker on my mate’s school teacher’s car. In the word (not words, just word) of Joey Tribbiani… wisdomous. 

Probably my favourite band in the world at the moment. Can’t get enough. I’m off to watch them in a filthy bar in the deep south. Laters. 

katiekhan: I’ve always wanted to pass hoity-toity judgement on people a lot more beautiful than me, floating upon a red carpet I’ll never have the grace or good fortune to trudge down like a stomping kid in their big brother’s wellies. And thanks to the joyous wonders of the internetz, I can!  Yes, these days everybody can turn fashion blogger. Even you. And more importantly, even me. So. From the comfort of my sofa, where I sit donning the latest in coveted high-street leisurewear, I invite you, my most loyal readers, to THE OSCARS. Here on these humble webpages I bring you: KATIE KHAN’S ROUND-UP OF THE ACADEMY AWARDS COUTURE DRESSES, ‘N’ THAT. I’m rather fond of those body language features in magazines where they bring in a ‘body language psychologist’ who spouts, frankly, a pile of cobblers. (“Tom and Katie in not hugging shocker!” Nothing to do with height difference on a pavement full of paps, of course.) Thus in honour of this fine editorial tradition, I’ve taken the liberty of commissioning a fantastic* up-and-coming** clothing psychologist*** (this may be a made up job description) (the rest is **me) to reveal THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND RED CARPET DRESSES. Oooh! 1) NATALIE PORTMAN.WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT NATALIE PORTMAN: She thinks her baby is a Ribenaberry DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH: 2) JENNIFER LAWRENCE.WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT JENNIFER LAWRENCE: Hello boys. Sexy as hell. Who the hell is Jennifer Lawrence? DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH: 3) MILA KUNIS.WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT MILA KUNIS: ‘“Black swan”? No. I do not fuck like a stoat. I’m so unbearably light and feminine I’m basically oestrogen.’  DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH:4) CATE BLANCHETT. WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT CATE BLANCHETT: Somebody sicked on my dress DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH: 5) HALLE BERRY.WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT HALLE BERRY: Somebody sicked on my career DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH:  6) REESE WITHERSPOON.WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT REESE WITHERSPOON: If you mention Legally Blonde I will sue you.  DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH: 7) PENELOPE CRUZ.WHAT THIS DRESS SAYS ABOUT PENELOPE CRUZ: The man I am with is so ruddy sexy my polyester dress just caught fire around ze crotch area DESIGNER’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT SKETCH:And there we have it: my first foray into fashion blogging. I probably won’t take photos of myself in my garden modelling an outfit fashioned entirely from Topshop vouchers, ripped tights and haberdashery ribbon, if you don’t mind; I’ll happily leave that to the experts. But whether you’re a kamikaze style blogger or a glamorous celebrity on the red carpet, it’s true that what you wear shouts something about you - so it’s probably best to keep an eye on what you’re shouting. (The fantastic* up-and-coming** clothes psychologists*** say so.)
