Monday Muse: Doris Mayday!


Muse Monday : Doris Mayday!





I first saw Doris mayday on her episode of 'my Crazy Obsession' on youtube years ago when i was first looking up Pinup models and 50's style. i think i was watching some of Cherry Dollface's videos about how she decorated her house and i somehow ended up there. 




I really started following her around the start of last year (2016) I fell in love  with her orange hair and started paying more attention to her posts. And i mean come on how gorgeous is she!






As a former 'emo kid' (i wasn't a very good one) I was (and always will be) in love with Hayley Williams. I had dyed my hair bright orange and loved it in 2014 over the school holidays, but when i had to go back to school i had to go back to a natural colour because of a strict uniform policy. Orange has since seemed to be my go to hair colour whenever i was stressed out or bored with my hair.





Recently after trying to get my hair from black to blonde (for about 6 months!) i was fed up (and so was my hair) i decided to just put orange back into it to have it get healthy. This decision was influenced my Doris' awesome hair.(and some other awesome ladies on instagram like @honeybvnny_ and @vanessafrankenstein)




Doris inspires me Because not only is she an amazing model but she also Manages the Pinup Girl Boutique. She's one sick chick!

My Triumph Herald 1200

My Car!



My old Herald has been in my family for years. My Poppa bought it originally for my Nan years ago but after driving it she didn't want it, My pop was going to sell it to my uncle but my mum loved it so she begged for it my uncle could see how much she loved the car and stepped back and my mum bought it from my pop.

years later my mum started to restore the car (because it was starting to get rundown). But when winter hit Mum decided she didn't want to drive around in an old convertible. she got another car and the Herald was put away in the shed to work on later. I inherited the Little Herald to be done up for when i had my license. 

The car has been pulled out a few times imbetween but the restoration had to be paused because of lack of time or money.


Thirteen Years Later here we are pulling my baby out ready to restart this Restoration!

Monday Muse : Ann Margret

Ann Margret the Swedish Sex Kitten of the 60s


Can we just talk about Ann Margret for a hot minute? The Swedish bombshell that stole Elvis Presley's heart. (and mine)


Ann Margret is a Swedish-American actress, singer and dancer, shes a pretty amazing Lady.  Ann was born in Valsjöbyn, Jämtland County, Sweden April 28, 1941. She moved to United States in November 1946. Becoming a a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1949.


Ann is well known for her roles in Bye Bye Birdie, The Swinger and Viva Las Vegas which she starred alongside Elvis Presley. 



Elvis and Ann both referred to each others soulmates.


In her Memior, Ann refers to Elvis as her "soulmate", but very little is revealed of there long-rumored romance, only that "in a moment of tenderness" Elvis bought Ann a round bed in hot pink colours.

In July 1967, Ann Margret gave her first live performance in Las Vegas.Elvis and his entourage came to see her during the show's five week run and to celebrate backstage. from then on Elvis sent her a guitar shapes floral arrangement for each of her Vegas openings.



Ann was also known for her love of motorcycles. In the film The Swinger Ann rode on a Triumph T100C Tiger Motorcycle. She also did some modeling for Triumph.
