Shorts and tattoos and king joffrey

Just a quick little post today as I've been a bit busy with stuff like brunch and short work meetings today

The shorts are officially out today as springtime has some what arrived in old London town and with it my almost snow white legs. Ever the public servant I aimed to bring a little reflected light from my legs into Londoners lives.

After a long winter cooped up in heavy weight denim and woolen plaid shirts it's quite nice to just wear a t shirt and shorts. 



I had my 39THIRTY Braves cap on before I left the house but as i'd slicked my hair back with a mixture of sweet Georgia Brown Blue and Red I decided to take my hat off as it was so sunny.

The Rob Zombie T is one of my favourite T shirts - everyone comments on it when i wear it out and always in a good way!

The Shorts I bought from a Stall at the hotrod hayride last year and they're really good and hard wearing with wear bands round the knees so they're good for skating in.

The Leather converse are THE best pair I have ever owned the soles are about to blow out but the upper is good for another year. Now if i could only get these buggers re-soled!










The Metalman Level Necklace

Weekly Outfit Wish list #1

Good morning!


It's the first of my weekly Outfit Wishlists!

 This week I want things from The Pike Brothers, Lock & co Hatters. And Red WIng Boots. All very beautiful stuff! 

I am becoming quite obsessed with the Vest/Plaid/Braces combo of late so I guess this outfit hits all of that. perfect for this intermittent spring weather we've been having in the UK.

I've been kinda fed up with the rockabilly uniform of black t shirt and jeans. So I have been actively Looking for other outfits that tickle my vintage Americana bells without going too far away from my roots.

Best start Earning some dollar then so I can afford all this gorgeous shit!

You must be a wrestler! [from Borough Market to the WWE]


Jeans  - Farah Straight legged Dark Denim

Today was family day and a wee outing to Borough Market to get me some MEAT and BREAD for my breakfast!! This was a really bad idea. While my roasted rib beef sandwich with creamed horseradish was absolutely amazing. The foreign students who were unable to walk, have any sense of spatial awareness, or manners was simply too much too bear!
The place was totally packed! GRRRRR!!! I don't do well in busy environments. I'm too polite and expect everyone else to be polite too! Fuckers!!
Anyway...so today was pretty nice weather wise so I discarded my jacket for a waistcoat and flannel shirt as it was vaguely spring like outside.  My shoes I bought from a market shop in  Finsbury Park - everyone loves the shoes including me.

Shirt  - Vintage - From Value Village in Canada
Braces/Suspenders - Vintage - Camden Market



Vest/Waistcoat - Vintage - from Camden Market

Later in the day a boy in a shop saw my tattoos and said to me that "you must be a wrestler?" Then his mum told him to be quiet. Then he said "but look at his tattoos he must be a wrestler!" I'm not going to argue with him! 






Sexy Superminx Hot rod




So I thought I'd do a post about my sexy car!



She's a 1962 Hillman Mark V Superminx [love that]. And I bought her 5 years ago. Engine block had the pistons literally hanging out the side of the block. Rust had almost killed the engine bay and the doors were hanging on for dear life.

Over the course of 12 months I turned her from a lost cause into a matt black monster.


one of the twisted ass Piston rods


We've had a few ups and downs along the way mainly prop related due the
of the shear amount of torque coming from the engine. But she's my baby and I have spilt blood sweat and tears over her [literally] but I wouldn't change a thing.
