Periwinkle and the Gargoyle

No, it's not a new band.

It's what I wore, and where.

You know, part of the This Is Not My House photo series...


~ I think there may be a family resemblance going on... ~



~ I'm wearing my newly made Periwinkle linen Melody Dress by Tina Givens. ~

Found.


~  An image of one of my ancestors taken at this exact spot! ~

Amazing.


~ I couldn't believe I found matching tights in my drawer. ~

Not to mention these dreamy burnished silver Trippens from...ebay!



To see me Kick Out The Jams, in Periwinkle and rainboots, keep on reading on...


...but first, one last Gargoyle gander:


~ with my home-made Peplone Jacket by Tina Givens, of course ~


Okay now, let's kick out the jams, you #@!%!

~ the same dress, another day ~



~ with rubber cowboy boots, sheer pantaloons, and striped sox ~

It was raining cats & dogs


~ The I'm a school teacher look ~

    1. I should've mentioned the rainboots are from ebay too. So happy to see VM back in business, Patti.

    1. It is a magic color, isn't it? I must confess I'm not a real school teacher, rather an art instructor at a city college.

  5. That would be a great name for a band.
    If I'd had teachers as cool as you I wouldn't have hated it so much! xxx

  6. That would make a brilliant name for a brand!

    I've decided I need some pantaloons. Just so I can say that I'm wearing pantaloons.

    Those boots are insane! I love them!

    1. For a brand? A brand of what, might I ask...? or perhaps it doesn't matter. Pantaloons are a wonderous item. I have more than I can recall. Bloomers can be referenced too. Of course they work best if your dress is a bit longer. Maybe you have to age into them... My boots are completely practical in a rainstorm.

  7. I think it sounds more like a fairy tale. And you look like a fairy princess in periwinkle. You really do. I'm nuts about your stripedy sox. Heck. I'm nuts about everything here.

    1. Your right, Connie, it does. hmmm. I think it's probably a scary one. Like that ancestor pix.

  8. Tremendous new dress. And periwinkle is one of my favourite colour words. I don't see school teacher look at all - I see artist/muse no matter what you're doing.
    Hahaha - your kicking-down-the-house pose. You are bad-ass indeed with sheer pantaloons!, they are scandalous and gorgeous. Your band can all wear them.

    1. I agree, there is no better color word (that I can think of). Do you know that song by MC5 from Detroit? It was so hot in the 70s.

  9. If I copped to a favorite color, I'd probably choose periwinkle. You look beautiful in it. Love it all, especially the pantaloons over the stripes ... rich, rich, rich! Lovely to see you with a big smile, very un-gargoyle like.

  10. It is a great band name, and you as the lead singer of course!

  11. Periwinkle sounds like the name of a character in a fairy tale, and it's also such a lovely shade of blue. I just love that shot of you in the rubber cowboy boots "kicking out the jams". Rock on, Pao!
