Here's a peek at the prototype for new designs (and big plans to get back to markets) - the idea was finally hatched in time for a weekend of parties. Apparently it had to be pink ... who is this child I have spawned? Why is she turning her back on a world of colour? Luckily I had this taffeta in my stash. 'Cause us children of the 80s just have that sort of stuff kicking around, no? Don't try and tell me you didn't embrace a bit of watermark taffeta action. It used to roll so easily of your tongue, along with hairspray, teasing, patent leather court shoe and elastic belt... and you have the ball/deb/formal photos to prove it (and not a tongue in cheek or nod to retro in sight). That was until you tried to hide the evidence at the back of the wardrobe in favour of grunge... and twirling doesn't work so well in flannelette shirt ... so taffeta it is. Keepin' it real ... keepin' it BIG...Sunday, July 18, 2010
Leaving your (water)mark

Sigh!! I remember all of those. And the watermarks too. Cherrie
Hmmm speaking of the 80's.... there's a little plan in process to make this Friday a Flashback Friday Fashion Fail Debutante Dress edition in blogland. Are you interested in joining in???
Oh CurlyPops, I think I'm in!
You've taken me right back. I was the one with the long spiral perm and Vegemite jar earrings.... ah, them was the days!
woo hoo, can't wait to see you back at markets! are you doing this niche or is that too close?
You must be on one heck of a post birth adrenaline high. In case you want to pursue this new taffeta marketing approach, I still have a voluminous, (sleeves particularly), mauve, 80s, bridesmaid number, if you'd like to stake your claim?
My 2year old daughter looked at the photo and said "I like pink AND them shoes!"
