Lets go skating...


Another of my bootsale finds... vintage roller skates.  

Originally they became part of my 1950s Rollerskating Waitress costume... 
... now they come out at Vauxhall's local roller disco

Check it out here.

Welcome to the Circus


Sam the clown with his Diana camera... and me with his nose.

Ben

Megan look gorgeous in her homemade cigarette seller costume.

Flo

Sophie the Mime

Red Bull and circus costumes galore... 

... I love the effect a cheap disposable camera gives... 
... insanely bright flash means bleached out skin and no blemishes... 
... faded colours... 

... plus everything is ever so slightly out of focus... 
... brilliant!

Welcome to Pleasantville!

Pleasantville.
Familiar faces include Reese Witherspoon, Toby Maguire and that women who played the mom in Malcom in the Middle.



"A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a 1950s style television show. Here they have loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivete. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this "backwards" society and slowly bring some color to this black and white world. But as innocence fades, the two teens begin to wonder if their 90s outlook is really to be preferred."

It was truly surprising how many truths about society were laid bare in this film.  Everything about this film was unexpected, and it was an absolute joy to watch - I can't believe I had never heard about it before now!
