International Dress-Up Day!

Penned upon the 13th of March, 2007

Ever-original style genius (and current Melbourne resident) Gala Darling has declared a new international celebration: International Dress-Up Day! Every month, on a chosen Saturday, everyone in the world should dress up their fanciest, following a theme, and pool their images for a global carnival of glamour and fun! This Saturday is the second i.D.U.D., and the theme is ‘your favourite character.’ All the information can be found at Mlle Darling’s own publication, iCiNG, and plenty more to read besides, so now all that remains for me is to create an outfit… hummm…

    Plans for?

    AlTHOUGH, in the latest Melbourne Times, they mentioned their museum of historical oddities – Mayoral beard-oortraits, commemorative bananas, Moomba Spumante, so on… if it’s open to the public or does tours, it would be a marvellous get-together.

    Dear Sir and Madame,
    I am gratified indeed by both style and content of your publication.
    It feels a little like home. I shall soon be seen to wear the frilly shirt – I choose Duck. Or Science. I append here some other promulgations for your perusal and edification. Perhaps you may be familiar with one or more of these items?
    Until the next time you require smallgoods, Adieu.

    O, magnifical! Too kind! Subterranean seas and Baltic salsa… and flappers in their pyjamas backed with evolutionary science! Thank you marvellously.

    In return, I might offer… let me see…
    The Adventures of Lord Peter Wimsey.

    My compendium of interesting musicians.

    I was close… Myrtle! Myrtle Bicknell, née Corbin.

    And here’s where I read of her. She married a doctor when she was 19, had five children and lived to sixty! Not bad, eh?
