Our House
Next month, Sam and I will get the keys to our very first home! We are so excited to become the second ever owners of this little cutie.
It was built in 1962, and is almost untouched. There are a few things that we will be changing, such a floors, paint and adding some storage, but we will definatly be keeping it a vintage home. I will keep you all posted with our renovations. Yay!

Saving, saving....SHOP!
Sam and I have been saving a lot of our money to get a deposit for a house...but being the online shopping addict that I am (and I know I'm not alone here...) I have gotten myself a few things here and there...
I scored this bakelite and lucite brooch from Ebay
This lamp was a great find on Gumtree, and it was only around the corner from out house! We were lucky that someone else never showed up to look at it, so we scored it for a neat $50 (hey, that is cheap in Australia!) I can not wait to have this in our future lounge room, sitting on our danish-style lounge reading a book (or blogs) under the lamp...one day!
If you haven't seen or heard of Luxulite, check out their Etsy shop for lovely jewellery and brooches...I went a little mad but it was worth it!
I also have a few things on lay-buy at my friend's shop, which includes this stunning dress...it is a deadstock polished cotton boned dress, with plastic-ish roses sewn on, and with a shawl....it is the most expensive dress I have bought so far, but if I was to find this beauty in Sydney, Melbourne or etsy it would be twice the price! I can't wait to wear it out.

A girl has to treat herself every now and then, don't ya think?

Miss Molly's Music- The ReChords
Two years ago when Sam was at Chopped Rod & Custom festival, he saw The ReChords. He thought I would like them, so the sweet fella got me thier cd, On The Wagon. I have this on high-rotation in my car, in our house, and anywhere else I am ever since. They are a real sold three piece, playing hillbilly infused rockabilly with some of the best harmonies I have heard.

Chopped Rod & Custom 2012
"Taking place an hour and a half north of Melbourne, Chopped is a unique cultural experience similar to that of being thrown back to a 1950s/60s Hop Up Carnavale. Thousands of fans from around the country partake in a mix of traditional style hot rods & custom cars alongside bobber & chopper motorcycles with entrants running head-to-head throughout the show in two-lane old-style dirt drags entertaining the crowds.
Throughout the day and into the night the crowds constantly switch their attention between the field of dirt drags and cars across to the stage where 15 bands play Rockabilly, Garage & Rock through to Blues, Country & Surf in the setting of the 'Tiki Palace' bar that drops you back into 1960s island life with Cocktails, Tikis, & Period DJ's visually drowned by palms, bamboo and a giant Easter Island Head that lights up the sky at night by popping its top and flaming into the darkness"
This will be the first year that I will be making the treck over to Newstead, Victoria, for Chopped Rod & Custom festival! Sam has gone for the last few years (every year besides the first I believe) and he and all of our friends always have an awesome time. I'm usually stuck at work doing wedding hair. Not this year! I'm a little excited to camp, be cold, get dirty and drunk with my friends, old and some new too, hopefully!
Newstead is about a 10 to 11 hour drive from Adelaide, so I'm making a big play list on my ipod to entertain us on the way, so we don't have to play too many "I Spy" games. We are planning to arrive mid-day Friday and set up camp. I have been informed by my lovely husband that "it is impossible to be hung over at Chopped"...I think I will be testing this theory out, hopefully he is right!
Besides the cars and dirt drags as entertainment, as mentioned there will be live bands playing too. Yes, this is a hot rod and custom festival, but no, not all the bands that are playing are rockabilly bands. I love rockabilly but I also find this refreshing! In Australia, as I'm sure is probably the case around the world, not all hot rodding types are into rockabilly music, so there is a variety of acts playing. One band that I am looking forward to seeing is La Mancha Negra. Dirty, garage blues with a little surf influnce...sounds good to me.
Chopped is all about traditional style cars, booze, mud and music...no shiny billet wheels and rock and rollers in their matching poodle skirts and shirts here! It's about having fun, talking shit and getting your cars (and maybe yourself) dirty. I can't wait to show you all what we get up to!
Hell yeah, bring on October 5th, 6th and 7th!

Fuel Issue 10 Launch
Last Saturday, I made my way down to Autotransformers Car Shop for the launch of the 10th issue of FUEL Magazine and the first ever FUEL TANK Annual dvd launch. Of course, Sam was striping away, and I was chatting and socialising with friends. I would have loved to share more photos of the cars and bikes that were there but silly me, I took my camera that was pretty much flat, and didn't realize until I got there and started taking photos....of course, I did manage to snap a pic of what I wore...
Vintage beaded swearer- Etsy, Skirt- Bettie Page Clothing, Shoes- Hand made 1940's style suede shoes- Rock and Roll Products in the UK
Here are a few previews of the DVD. It is a fantastic representation of Australian hot rodding (well the good stuff anyway!)
My hat goes off to Luke, who (of course, with help from others) has put so much work in to the magazine and DVD. If you dig tradtional hot rods, kustoms, bikes or neat cars in general, go over to their website and order yourself a copy or two.

Miss Molly's Music- Clairy Browne & the Bangin Rackettes
This Saturday night I am off Rocket Bar with my girlfriends to see Clairy Browne and the Bangin Rackettes for a ladies dancing night! Although a few of the fellas are coming along too...
If you haven't heard Clairy before, check out some of these clips! She has an amazing voice, which kind of reminds me of the wonderful Amy Winehouse. So soulful and strong...just like I like my ladies.
