Mark Ronson and burlesque

That Mark Ronson, hes a stylish man isn't he? Sharp suits and geeky glasses maketh the male style icon.

Round up of vintage shops

So.. What i've noticed is that there is alot of amazing repro vintage out there, but its all pretty pricy for a student. Still, nice to look right? Two of my faves:
http://www.20thcenturyfoxy.com/en/index/a1
http://www.dollydagger.co.uk/default.asp
both have very varying prices.

This dress from Dorothy Perkins is so cute :D (like the new look bird one)

Politics, and hotness

So, firstly pretty much nobody in the UK can get away from the fact that its polling day on Thursday (so soon). Although this isn't really a political blog, I felt I should definitely post this. It's by the director of the thick of it, and its how i've felt about the whole bigotgate thing all along.

apologies that its not hyperlinked (now I know how to do it), the library computers won't let the box pop up and i'm trying to get all my tabs closed so I can get on with my essay.

Secondly, my sister's friend posted a link to pretty much the best blog ever. Its a blog of pictures of hot british men. I feel that I should make one of my own. I have a few ideas for themes: vintage hot guys, mens fashion, unknown hot people (such as the guy from horrible histories) but none on their own would be enough I think. Anywho.....link is here:

Italian films, petticoats and Iggy Pop songs

Stunning picture isn't it?

I did a tin eye of it (I originally found it in someones signature on TSR)and it turns out that its from an Italian film! Even better for me. It's called Malena and its set in WW2.
and its also really cheap on LoveFilm

I have also decided that in order to be respectible in some of my dresses that are just a bit too tight over the bust, and to be more vintage, that I need a petticoat. I found this nice cotton one from M and S.

Musically, I watched Glee: The power of Madonna this morning and it was AMAZING! very much the best one so far. After that I watched a programme about rock singers (because it had Matt B in it) and I found out that Iggy Pop wrote this song that I know from an advert but had no clue who it was by. The passenger has been in my head all day

I'm so proud I can now do hyperlinks in my blog *proud* you learn something new everyday
