I'm back!

As you have probably noticed, I have taken a short break from Call Me Lucille. It wasn't intentional and I have missed being here. I have been focusing on my work. For those who don't know, I am a mobile hairdresser specialising in hair for special occasions. 

I have so much to show and tell you all. Sometimes it's good to take a break, as on your return you are brimming with things to share with good people!

I have still been representing glamour and have a gathered together quite a good selection of photographs to keep you satisfied for a while.

The first bunch are from the North Norfolk Railway Annual 1940's weekend I attend a couple of weekends ago. 

It was amazing to see the event so busy, Vintage is at it's most popular as we all know and this year was not a disappointment. Infact, I spotted some of the best ensembles to date!

 

I bumped into a photographer I met at the event last year did some posing for him again!

I usually attend this event with a whole gaggle of girls, but alas their seamed stockings stayed h. It was quite sad to be without them, we usually cause a stir with the photographers. But I wasn't completely alone. I was accompanied by a handsome G.I Joe for the day i.e my boyfriend, so I wasn't complaining!

I couldn't stay for the evening dancing and singing on the platform as I had to leave for home to be back in time to work on a Calendar photoshoot. But that is another blogpost saved for another day......

It's good to be back!

Love as always, Lucille xx

Elvis, I love you!

Girls always make passes at guys with moustaches.

A grand date up North.

For my birthday present my wonderful boyfriend bought me a pair of tickets to go and see Arcade Fire. Best of all it was in Manchester. The city holds a special place in my heart- I lived there a few years ago now and am very fond of it.   

 Getting ourselves ready for the gig.
 I was so grateful of the mild weather, it meant I could show off my pin up girl Get Cutie skirt, without having to cover it up with a thick wintery coat.

 

After all the incredible live music, I took Christopher to my favourite hang out, Tiger Lounge. As we headed down the stairs into the underground jiving we were welcomed by a giant jungle themed painting of Bettie Paige stood between two leopards and wearing a hot leopard bikini. It's still my favourite.

It is home to the most splendid night, Your Mama's Cookin'. With entertainment such as Cake Baking competitions and LindyHop Lessons. Hosted by the lovely Lora Avedian & Johnny Walsh.

We shimmied, Christopher got called Buddy Holly, and we fantasied about everyone doing simultaneous dance routines with no pushing and shoving on the dance floor.

The interior was still as kitsch as I remember. Full of riki tiki ornaments, 50's pin ups and our favourite, tiger fur walls!

Unfortunately, it was time to head home. Arcade Fire were totally mind blowing. The imagery was enthralling, the band themselves were incredibly intense and the whole affair was down right dramatic. Regine Chassange's sequined outfit made her look like a Christmas Super hero!

My weekend was perfect.

Love as always, Lucille x.

Sweetheart of mine.

I miss my Beau.  

I miss cooking with him.

Christopher, my dreamboat!
