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….

Has a pleasantly stupidly busy couple of weeks, topped off by zipping into London for a bit of stress relief/Sarah time. I’m going to do a fun write-up as there were some gorgeously fun looks (nurse, swimsuit) but as I have been remiss in my postings I thought I’d whip up a quick frock tales… Continue reading [Frock Tales] Passing Gas…

Two blogs in one night? Well, it’s been a long day and coffee has been involved, so I’m buzzing and more importantly I can feel the pink juices flowing through my cranium; *she* is the house and she wants to be creative, so who am I to argue with her (plus she has heels on… Continue reading [Frock Tale] The Squee-cret Identity

So, I made this a two-parter because I was literally falling asleep over my laptop at the end of the last one, that’ll teach me to have insomnia due to x months of stress and anxiety, etc etc. Awake now so hopefully can finish documenting the last session before I get down to some juicy… Continue reading [Fashion] T-Life on Mars (Part 2)

So, after a number of months in LockDown ™ England starts to open up a bit. And by that I mean beauty salons, cough, were allowed to open starting April 12th. Being honest I’d started to slip down the slope into serious black dog territory, but that’s understandable. The last couple of months have been… Continue reading [Fashion] T-Life On Mars (part 1)
