Miss Kustom Kulture 2012

Adelaide's very own Kustom Kulture Weekender is only 4 weeks away, and this year I am entering the Miss Kustom Kulture competition. There are three judges, but "likes" from people are considered in the voting process. Here is the photo I have entered, thanks to my lovely and patient husband for taking it for me.

Miss Molly's Ameican Adventure- Viva Las Vegas Weekender



http://www.vivalasvegas.net/



There is only 7 weeks left for Sam and I until we are jetting off to the land of the free. I have been busy organising our accommodation, car hire and researching places to go and things to do, but the first thing on our agenda in attending Viva Las Vegas for the very first time! I am so excited to be going. We got in early and booked a room at The Orleans about a year ago- I heard you’re not doing Viva right unless you are staying where all the action is!

One of the things I am looking forward to the most is meeting people. So if there are any people out there who read my blog and recognise my face at Viva, please come and say hello- I would love to meet you!

Of course I am excited for the music too. I think JD McPherson will be my highlight. All of my girlfriends are very jealous  of me..hehe. I also get to see Big Sandy twice in one month, in two different countries! He is headlining Kustom Kulture 10, here in Adelaide, and is also playing a few spots around Melbourne and Brisbane next month. The pool party looks like a whole lot of fun, and I can't wait to get my very own Boot! Sam is looking forward to the car show, and seeing the Ventures will be a treat too.

So...who else is going? Have you got any tips for this VLV virgin? I would love to hear what you are looking forward to.

Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes from Glorious Treats

So we had a special 2nd birthday party to go to on the weekend, and I was asked if I could make some cupcakes. Being the perfectionist I am, and not into making cake from a packet (and I don't judge anyone who does- I just like to make food from scratch when I can), I hopped on the internet to look for the perfect vanilla cupcake...and found it pretty much straight away! Thanks to Glory at Glorious Treats.

On Friday night, I stopped into the supermarket on my way home from work, gathered all my ingredients, drove home, popped on my cutest apron and got to work.

The only problem I had with this recipe was that is said to fill the cupcake patties 2/3 of the way up, which lead to overflowing cupcakes *sad face* . Although they tasted delicious, they weren’t 100% perfect (being anal, again!!), but I still had time to make another batch, which I filled half way up, and they came out PERFECT!! Yay!!

I then made the cream cheese/butter cream icing and dyed it pink. They turned out so pretty! My lovely friend Tracy-Lee, who is the baking queen in our group of ladies said- “oh my, these really do taste as good as they look!”.  Needless to say, I was a little pleased with myself.



The recipe for these little heavenly morsels is here and the icing here. I am so glad I found Glory’s blog! I’m looking forward to trying more of her recipes.

Sugary kisses,

Miss Molly's Music- Pat Capocci

Oh my word, I can't believe I haven't written a post about this fella...Pat Capocci is one of the best rockabilly artists, in my opinion, in Australia. He is uhh-mazing on the ol' axe, writes the catchiest songs and is one of the most down to earth and lovely guys I have met. I don't normally like to talk to musicans because if they turn out to be a wanker, it puts me off their music, haha! But Pat is so friendly, and you can really tell that music is his life, and he has got a lotta life in him.

I'll let his music speak for it's self- here are a few of my favouite songs.

Pat also plays in a few other bands around Sydney, with The Twilight Rhythem Boys and also in Danny & The Cosmic Tremors. I had to pop in a few of their songs too. If you see any of these guys headed your way- please go and check them out! I guarantee you will not be dissapointed!

Check out his website http://www.patcapocci.com.au/ for more information.

Oh and sorry ladies, he's taken!

Christmas

Christmas is possibly my favourite time of the year. I love being around my family, giving gifts, eating food and of course having a drink and enjoying myself.
This year we had a christmas brunch at my Mama's house. It was an amazing spread of the most delicious food, with the best company too, of course! Gifts were given, drinks were drunk, and the Xbox got a good work out, with all of us having a go on the Kinect. So  much fun!
We left Mama's around 1 and made our way down to my in-laws for a hot lunch, and stayed for a seafood dinner, and more drinks! It was a great day. I love my family.

Daily Outfit- Putting up the tree!

Saturday I got up nice and early and Sam stayed in bed with a stomach bug I had during the week- poor fella!
He eventually got up and we went out to the Central Markets. After we came home, I made brownies and decorated our Christmas tree while he took a nap. Here is what I wore...

1950's Nylor blouse- gift from friend
1950's floral skirt- eBay
Earrings- gift



Close up of the shirt, earrings and my terrible roots!!

Sweet Sundays

I swear I start every post with- Wow, I havent blogged in a long time! Bad blogger, blah blah blah. But I truely have been so busy! Sam and I have moved in with my dad to save some money for a deposit for a house, and our trip to America. It has been hard trying to squeeze all of our things from one small house, into one room! We have had to take over the shed and spare wardrobes! And I'm still buying clothes...I think I may have a problem....

I'm  not going to try and play catch-ups, but just let you all in on what I have been up to lately. And I will try to be more of a consistant blogger from now on....hopefully!!

Yesterday, a whole bunch of friends, and hot rod clubs got together for a BBQ down at a house in the south of Adelaide. There was lots of food, drinks, sunshine, good friends, and of course, nice cars!...but don't ask me much about them, I'm still learning! I only took a few photos of the cars on our way up. Once we were all set up, I was ready to sit and chat with my lady friends, and play with their sweet kiddies.
