" What the...!"
I wore this to my primary school fancy dress party in 1970 something...
What was I thinking? God knows! (get it) I could blame my...I'm going to call it...quirky...costume on my Mum, but that would be a lie (and good little Catholic girl's don't do that) because it was entirely my choice. All the other little girls went as fairies, brides, ballerina's etc and what do I rock-up as??? Sister Kylie!
All I can say is I must have been a total loser or the biggest suck-hole ever. Probably a bit of both. Look at me though, I think I look gorgeous. I must've been chanelling my inner Soeur Sourire specially for the photographer. I'm serene, radiant and...tragic!
I did give my outfit a bit of style by opting for my black lace ups over my brown school sandals though, don't you think?
Anyway tonight (and I'd better say a few Hail Mary's before we get there) my husband (Anthony not Jesus) and I are going to see this wild and crazy guy
He is one of Anthony's favourite's (think Hairspray, Polyester, Cry Baby, Pink Flamingos) I don't know what to expect really. I'm looking forward to it though...I'm expecting it to be a bit like a car crash - you don't want to look but you just can't help yourself.
To be continued...
Just a few g.s. pics to end
need a barrel for your biccies?
I may struggle to part with this one though...

Oh, I think you looked gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be a nun once. Only because the Nun who used to come to lunch had the coolest badges/brooches. I wanted in!
Imagine if we were all nuns who blogged.
Only God can judge you, but I think you look adorable! The guitar gives it real verisimilitude. I can just picture you leading your chums in a rousing chorus of Kumbaya!
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight x
At least you can say you were original! Have fun tonight. I like the look of that carousel container in the background!
ReplyDeleteHow can you bear to part with any of those barrels?
ReplyDeleteI used to wear a tea towel on my and head and pretend I was a nun. It was Sally Field who did that for me.
You look so sweet.
But I'm still judging you. That's what Catholics (lapsed) do, right?
I think you look so sweet! Being brought up catholic too I think my nan would have been so proud to have seen me dressed like that - i however rebelled so was in constant bad books (oh dear for me if there is a judgement day! lol).
ReplyDeleteAre you going to find it hard selling all your wares at the GS? My problem is that I get too attached to everything, will be brave soon and do a boot sale (will try and follow your lead and declutter). Scarlett x
You are totally adorable Kylie and I must say original in your choice of costume :)
ReplyDeletex
I think you were beautiful. You certainly were radiating from within. I was brought up Catholic and there was a deep respect for women who had chosen this path and I think that is why a lot of us as little girls loved them (the nice ones). We knew they were special and had given their lives to God. You could have done a lot worse than emulate a nun.
ReplyDeleteVery cute in costume,is that an extra long hem so you can were it again?Lol.Love all those goodies for the garage sale,esp the biccie pots and the cannisters.
ReplyDeleteLove that pic so,so cute!! I liked my cowgirl outfits the best lol.
ReplyDeleteMate you have a colection of so many great things!! Now tell me the secret of how to let things go without regrets.?
That pic is too cute! LOL. Love the blue bird biscuit barrel.
ReplyDeleteAce pic!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you have a fondness of religous kitsch,
John Waters is the best! I love him.
Aw, I love a nerdy looking kid! This picture is wrong, yet so right in many ways.
ReplyDeleteYou look so happy and proud, I reckon you should re-create this look for an updated version, like that website (forgot the name).
You rocked the Nun gear. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I think all 70's kids looked sweet - something about the innocence of those days. Kids today are so different - they have more of an edge....very street wise, I suppose.
Oooh and if those biscuit barrels were mine, I'd hold on to the two birdie ones. Very lush.
Adorable is right! You should frame it (so cute!) I think you were probably a whole lot more creative than your counterparts!
ReplyDeleteJohn Waters-lucky! Do tell us about it later.
And, I really, really want to come to your gs. :)
I think you looked adorable as Sister Kylie. *hehee*
ReplyDeleteMY GOD those barrels are lovely the one with the acorn on top is just the sweetest. I have no clue how you are able to get rid of all this amazing stuff. I don't know if I would be able too. *lol*
Oh kylie, you look the picture of innocence...and hilarious!!! I can't believe it's not framed and up on the wall...maybe now your making room it ought to be-how could your kids misbehave with you peeping down at them in that get up!!!
ReplyDeleteaawww bless you ;-)) I look at you dressed up and i think of the film and musical "The sound of music" ;-))Have a great time tonight. Love the little biscuit barrels so cute. dee xx
ReplyDeleteI think you must have been channelling Sally Field as The Flying Nun.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is a total cracker- I too was thinking you were channeling The Sound of Music. And that budgie cookie jar is gorgeous. melx
ReplyDeleteThe photo of you is hillarious. I love it! You should frame it and have it in pride of place (I really mean that!). I remember the nuns saying at school that one day some of us might hear the voice of Jesus calling us to be a nun. I was always really terrified, thereafter, that I might hear him. Never did. Phew!
ReplyDeletehere's a little clip, especially for you, since your photo reminded me of our dominique who, in the year that i was born, scored a big, big hit with dominique... (sorry for the flemish blabber - but if you keep on listening, you will find that the french lyrics gets sung in many different languages.... tee-hee).
ReplyDeletegreetings from belgium, love!
;)))

From one Catholic school girl to another, I have to say, total suck-up....lol! I hope you got extra credit for that!
