I saw this dress on the Marks and Spencer website and thought ‘I have no idea what kind of look I’ll do with that but I *need* that frock’. Yeah, a little impulse buying, but it looked very cute in a ‘hipster chick’ kind of way; it’s actually a modern dress, mini-length, fully button up,… Continue reading [Frock Tales] Midsommar Madness

Well, I did warn you they would come fast and thick, as the actress said to the bishop. I’m going through the looks from last Saturday in order but, amusingly, I managed to grab a cancellation spot at Cinders for this weekend so I’m back up to London for some more fun. Basically I paid… Continue reading [Frock Tales] Toothpaste Tube Frockage

Ooo, prepare to be deluged as they say. I did a session last Saturday where I did oodles of fun looks, a bit of bravery (outside again) and some stuff outside of my usual blend of normality (which is stretching the realms of normalcy from a normal perspective). The last couple of weeks have been… Continue reading [Frock Tales] Chasing away the blues with a pink

Time for a fun post to cheer myself up. Going back and looking at the vast archive of pictures of Sarah/Julie I have on my ‘Sarah’ laptop there are certain looks I did that I love to go back and look at. And the reason I love to look at them is that they have… Continue reading [Fashion] Dungeons and Dragqueens

Firstly, there will be two posts today, one fun and one, well, this. It goes without saying that Covid has been tough on all of us; the lucky ones who didn’t get Covid have had the weight of social restriction and the constant worry of 18 months of ‘what the hell is going on?’. And… Continue reading [Philosophy] The Two-Edged Sword of (anti)Social Media….

Hair. Men have it in all the wrong places, at least wrong if you want to dress and present yourself as a woman that is. It’s the one thing that drives me nuts when I want to have some Sarah/Julie time, the shaving. I’m not a good shaver. Not by a long way; I’m too… Continue reading [Philosophy] Wax on, wax off, scream, repeat

So, was meant to be in London yesterday for my third and final session in a week on/week off approach since the lockdown lifted, but it was not to be; a combination of a heat wave (ten hours of modelling in multiple outfits when the temperature is 24C+ is not comfy) and my car deciding… Continue reading [Frock Tales] Degrees of Normal….

So summer is finally raising it’s sweaty, humid head and I’m off to London again next weekend for the last of my pre-Summer sessions; I’ve had three in quick succession because, being honest, I really don’t like the Summer. I normally take a little break during June and July from Sarah/Julie fun as it’s a… Continue reading [Fashion] Beauty (Retro) Queen Pageants….

Yes, I know it’s going to sound like the world’s daftest first world problem, but I’m actually still feeling a little, well, emotional after the last blog and the events that caused it to be written, so I thought a little light-hearted silliness combined with some fun and hopefully cute pictures would lighten the mood… Continue reading [Frock Tales] When wide isn’t wide enough….

So, I headed into London again last weekend, just two days ago, for another desperately needed bit of Sarah time; people ask why I do it so often etc etc but, without explaining it because ‘why’, I need my fix. A bit of backstory if you haven’t read the last blogpost; I took a dress… Continue reading [Philosophy] Fresh air with a hint of delightful terror….
