corset friday 6.3.2009

the bronze shell I am wearing around my neck was made by my artist friend Tracey as a gift for one of my birthdays. I’ve had so many birthdays I can’t remember which one this was for. She cast it from a shell I found at La Perouse beach in Sydney back in the 80s…..

You can see two shells that are very similar to my original over at sylvied’s. Look at the two peachy coloured shells in the bottom right hand photo

    Somewhat conservative this week nursie honey.

    Probably wise. You could end up sued. It’s all the rage these days.

    Have you cut your hair?

    No I haven’t. In fact I was just thinking the other day that it badly needs a trim. I have had the red streaks redone though and they are neon bright – shame they can’t be seen in the photos

    Gorilla thinks you look sort of Xena-ish in that rightmost picture. Well, Lucy Lawless is a kiwi, Nursemyra’s a kiwi… surely this cannot be a coincidence.

    Really? I think it’s one of my least favourites. the battery was running low on the camera and I just took a dozen shots in quick succession. I like the colour but it’s not a great corset either
