Cher


I am in love with the colours of her outfit to the Oscars in 1974!
Sure, people still dress like this, but there was just something so brilliant about it back in the day, maybe because it was highly original, and many fashion icons truly were pioneers of style, but something is lost when people "push the boundaries" today, I like to think styles always go back to the past





David Bowie and Cher together ^_^ YouTube their performances, you won't be disappointed!



The 60's and 70's will always be immortalised by people who weren't alive during the era because of the legacy it left behind! We're just lucky that these cultural gems are still around for us to listen to, wear and see! ^_^

Lovers of camp, unite and rejoice!

Neuschwanstein castle: inside!


What I wouldn't do to be back in Europe! 
Though I missed Neuschwanstein when I was in Germany, I have always been curious as to the castles interior, as well as its magnificent exterior! What a sumptuous kitschy delight!

 It reminds me of Liberace sans bedazzler ;)



Saint George slaying the dragon detail



Wikipedia IS a scholarly resource! Poncy university rules be damned!








 What rich details, you can live and breather history here, I visit many places on Google maps, alá street view for when I haven't had the chance to see them yet! 


Imagine waking up in corridors like these, a unicorn rounding the corner wouldn't be out of place

Lady Gaga


I really enjoyed circa 3 years ago Lady Gaga, don't get me wrong, the recent Versace campaign and the hilarious pics with Donatella are great. There were a couple of oh come on moments, but this was when she was top of her game in my mind


I mean LOOK at that piano, arguments of over the top exhibitionist aside, no one can argue that is one wicked prop, she's suspended on her chair swing!! 


In Viktor and Rolf, pulled off perfectly


Decapitation dress


The tea cup. A plain old cup wasn't this well known since Alice in Wonderland or Chip from Beauty and the Beast, cup meme


Daily Mail and Tumblr

I'm giving her the art tag, not many people have the ability to pull this off, love or hate her...

Dresses


The girls behind the great blog A beautiful mess did a swan dress DIY! when one of my friends is back in town who happens to be an excellent seamstress, I'm going to beg her for help to make this for Halloween, see it here!


 Angelina Jolie in a Versace dress for the Golden globes 2011, incredible dress


Suki Waterhouse, right, so pretty, always dresses well!


Angelina again at the 2012 Golden globes in Versace again


Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackerman, always knows what colours to go with!


Kate Middleton during her pregnancy
She really did look beautiful throughout! My how the British press loves to hate somedays, but she remains a darling of theirs now she is post 'Waity-Katy'! I wonder who got that last laugh?

The Spice Girls


above from Spice World, simultaneously the best and worst movie ever, good for screening with your slightly tipsy mates, they know the words


In primary school I absolutely loathed the spice girls! Then I got older and learnt to appreciate the art of tacky and ridiculous over the top-ness and can now fully appreciate them.

Everyone had their own pop up spice girls band and  I got never ending requests to be ginger because of my slightly reddish hair


90's forever!


Brit awards, the infamous Union Jack dress was apparently made from an old tea towel and was a last minute costume idea from Ginger aka Geri H



Above, the girls at the Viva forever musical premiere, I think Mel C (sporty spice) looks really pretty


Emma Bunton in Ab Fab was cute, couldn't act to save her life though!
