The Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra

Still going through old photos I'm afraid! The good news: I am nearly done with 2010. The bad news: I have a lot from 2009! It's fun to remember all these good times though.
Here's us off to see The Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra, a big favourite of ours run by Martin White, who is very talented, extremely nice and a big staple on the swinging London scene! Please check out the MMFMO, or try out the Kareoke Circus. It's kareoke with a live band and sometimes an entire orchestra. How can that not be absolutely brilliant?

This particular gig was at the Lumiere, with Foster & Gilvan, possibly my ultimate favourite anything ever. I was so excited!

Jacket: New Look
Shirt: H&M
Tie: Tie Rack
Dress: Borrowed from Lillian
Ring: Disney Couture

This was right around when I got obsessed with tailoring and all things tweed. I would wear my tweed hacking jacket in roasting hot weather. Worst timing, as usual!

Tweedy

This was us off to see David Devant and his Spirit Wife at the 100 Club! They don't gig very often, so it's always a huge deal for me to get to go and see them.

This is me at the height of my tweed-mania, where I wanted to look like a posh equestrian patrician type. I think I was aiming to look a bit like 30's Marlene Dietrich. I fell very wide of the mark. 

Hacking Jacket: Vintage Harris Tweed
Shirt: Hawes & Curtis
