Frocktober Day One

Here's the first in a series of photos of me trying my best not to look like too much of a dill, frocked-up to raise funds and awareness for Ovarian Cancer Research.


It's not as easy as I make it look you know!


I'm wearing: 80's Masuka frock ex Salvos, crimped hair, and Annabel's boots. I'm posing in the hood (nice, isn't it?!)
 
I actually paid $60.00 to have this little number taken in - some might say:
 
a) what was I thinking?
 
and
 
b) that they could think of better things to do with sixty bucks - like donating it to the Ovarian Cancer Reasearch Foundation, for example!
 
(I know...on reflection...what was I thinking?!)
 
Fashion blunders aside, only one day down, and already, thanks to these lovely sponsors: Anth, Adelaide, Claire, Megan, Vicky, Loo and Al, I have raised $320! To say I'm stoked would be putting it mildly...I guess you could say it: 
 

I hope you'll sponsor me too. It's as easy/safe as buying something from etsy/ebay - just a few clicks and you're done.
 
Every ten hours, one woman dies from ovarian cancer, and this is just in Australia! The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation receives no government funding, but you can make a difference!
 
Sponsor me Here please.
 
I'll think "you rock and your (sic) awesome" if you do.

P.S. this frock is for sale to the highest bidder. It's size 8, in beautiful condition (although sadly missing its shoulder pads. Sniff), and I'll shout postage. Just send me a note if you're interested.

    Hi Kylie. It is so exciting to see you back in blog land...and looking so glamorous too! Love the crimped hair. Things have been busy here and I haven't read all about what you are up to properly yet. But, I will. It is a great cause :)

    yeah...what were you thinking? Nah! Just joking! You look great in that 80's number (sans shoulder pads) In fact - yu look a million dollars and it's so good to see you back in blog-land. I'll be sponsoring you next payday. I'm thinking of joining in because I confess I have well over 31 frocks and I love wearing frocks and I love a good cause. Yay all round for you Kylie!!

    Looking 80s-tastic, Kylie! I am rather partial to an 80s frock now and again, and the crimped hair is the perfect finishing touch! Great backdrop, and a model-esque smile!
    PS. How is it that we are the same age and I look old enough to be your mother? Have you had work done, or led a very charmed, healthy life? 'Snot fair! xxxx

    Love the dress...love the wall...love you for doing this! You're beautiful, inside and out. It's so good to see you blogging again. And some special cheers for Adelaide and Anth for being so supportive of what you're doing. You have a wonderful family.

    Of course, you know you're going to break our hearts all over again if you don't keep blogging after this is done. xx

    Oh, Kylie, I couldn't agree more with what Dana just said, we all love you for doing this, it's such a beautiful deed! And it has such a great "side effect", we all get to enjoy your blog for another month! Please stay on after that!!!

    PS: How can you possibly look so good in crimped hair and 80s fashions? Amazing!!

    Looking very edgy there my dear! You can't beat a bit of street art for a backdrop!
    I didn't do crimped hair but may have squeezed in a spiral perm at some point!
    Nice to see you, to see you nice. x
