What are you wearing today Betty Zee? 24th December 2011 Christmas Eve!!

Oh a little trip to LUSH in Liverpool Street to pick up some little bits for my sis but then also a little Gingerbread House for me!!! I love them its like having a bath in creamy gingerbread mix (with out the lumps) haha !! Yummy!

Well here I am in my little velvet 50s lady with the ladies from Lush!! I have to say their friendly fun and un pretentious lovelyness should be bought to the attention of their big boss. It was a total pleasure to shop in there on Christmas Eve! I bet you can't say that about a lot of other shops!!!!

Now I also have to tell you about Aimee from brightyoungtwins@blogspot.com was in Lush and you can see her in the picture. I love her and her friend Harriet's blog! Stunning vintage images and even a post on doing your own Pin curls in her Lazy Tutorial!! All your your pictures put mine to shame!!!

Heinz Villiger Erotic Vintage Playing Cards

I do find these erotic 1950s images so stylish infact I have tried to do a bit of research on the web and there does 't seem to be much written about him. I don't know too much about Heinz Villiger but here is a link to a book on him and this genre. It is called called 'Stacked Decks, the art and history of erotic playing cards by the Rotenberg CollectionI found them in an antique and collectables centre in Surrey, England.
