Style Crush – The Girl From Love Street

June 10, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I experienced a real stab of nostalgia while watching Mad Men this week. When Megan appeared in her indian hippie dress, it really took me back to my school and university days (an indie trend you understand, I wasn’t born until the seventies!) and a whopping great infatuation with all things bohemian. In sixth-form I had a huge girl-crush on a friend called Polly. She was in my English class and knew her literature like noone else, particularly poetry. She […]

Sieff, Carolyn Everitt

Baby I’m Broke

February 8, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I love this picture by Sieff (1985), so simple but with the shadows from the window, so clever. I wanted to see if I could capture the same effect, particularly the shadows of the netting but I think it’s more of a “inspired by” rather than a copy – the shadows are slightly different and she seems considerably more melancholy than the original. I was listening to Baby I’m Broke by Lucky Soul, I guess it infected my mood! Great […]

Not Just Another Chick

February 6, 2013 by igetakickoutofyou

I’m loving I’m His Girl by Friends at the moment – almost Princess Superstar mixed with Ladyhawke. And when I came across Ashley Goldberg’s cool coloured girls I thought they just fit the song perfectly – certainly not just another chick! Enjoy…….. Diana Gwen Clementine Rosie Lily Ginger

All I Want For Christmas Is You

December 4, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Apologies for the lack of posts recently. It’s a busy time! I’ve spent the last couple of weeks sewing marabou feathers onto corsets and making red santa capes with extra strong velcro! The reason? We got festive this week, as The Pushettes (although this time only three) performed a burlesque gig, in Dulwich, for The Reliant Magazine Christmas Do. Needless to say I have now developed an allergy to marabou feathers and my fingers are black and blue from driving […]

Crazy Horse, God save our bareskin, Forever Crazy

The Pushettes go Forever Crazy at Crazy Horse

October 30, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Today, and until the end of the week, I’m guest posting for PUSH Studios, as I’m helping them set up their blog. Do you remember The PUSHETTES? The burlesque/cabaret troupe I dance with for Push Studios? Well, for a little inspiration we thought we’d check out the créme de la créme of seduction at the exotic cabaret Forever Crazy, courtesy of the Crazy Horse Club in Paris. I can’t tell you how excited I was about seeing this show. You might have […]

Sam Haskins, Cowboy Kate and other stories, 1960s makeup

The Sam Haskins Effect

July 9, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

This is one of my favourite Vogue shoots from 1996. Shot by Nick Knight and featuring (I am sure) Jodie Kidd, these black and white misty shots are really reminiscent of Sam Haskins 1960’s photography. I didn’t really get into Sam Haskins’ photography until one of his images appeared on The Last Shadow Puppet’s album, The Age of the Understatement. I then managed to get hold of the director’s cut of Cowboy Kate and other stories, and just fell in […]

The Chelsea Hotel, New York

Between The Sheets At The Chelsea

June 29, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel, You were talking so brave and so free. Giving me head on an unmade bed While the limousines wait in the street And those were the reasons and that was New York, (Leonard Cohen)  This was one crazy hotel! Penned by Leonard Cohen, lived in by a host of creative types from Andy Warhol and Arthur Miller (after his divorce from Marilyn), to Quentin Crisp, Jackson Pollock and Janis Joplin. In this […]
