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

Back from the War.

Yes, we all made it back alive from 1939!

Many spam sandwiches were eaten, Camp coffee was drunk and we danced to the sounds of the good old days. The cottage we stayed in was constantly covered in hair grips rollers and stockings and through the mist of hairspray there was plenty of Team Love as we all enjoyed a weekend spending time with one another. 

Let the transformations begin...

This is me and my Brother. He's such a good sport, letting us draw him on a 'tasche. We had to be on tash watch all day and night in fear of my brother having a 'chocolate lip'!! Ever since I have started this blog he has been longing to appear in one of my blog posts. So here you are Bruv, you've made it!!

In the day I wore my dusty pink original pearl buttoned dress, matching earrings and brooch, a 1940's umbrella to shield my heavily sprayed pomp from the drizzle and 'Rita' my black fox fur. We didn't seem to come away with any evening outfit photos, we must have been too busy gasbagging and admiring everybody else, however I wore my new Bettie Page Pea green dress with a little wicker hat.

The photographer who took this is planning on making the photos he took from the weekend into greetings cards....keep your eye out for us in Paperchase!! (I wish).

Well, now that I am back, I'm working on the hair tutorials that I used on the weekend to show y'all. Keep in touch, don't be a stranger!

   Love as always, Lucille x.
