none the richer x pretending to be a pirate..............

 Gosh the packaging of these were even more magical in real life! They made me feel like a pirate with a treasure chest. And I just happen to love pretending to be a pirate! Hoorah.

Piratey....

Well there is some kind of attempt at a pirate costume without actually having to put any effort in because effort goes against all my beliefs. Thanks Bicycle Pirate for the lend of the shirt you are very skilful at pirate related things quite obviously. There was a moustache involved in there somewhere, and an invisible eye patch. But looting everyone’s handbags was what really gave me that pirate style. What? Nothing...


On another note, being the designated driver last night, I had to slow down as firemen ran across the street because a house was fully on fire, that's right fully not just a little bit but all ablaze. It was pretty crazy. We had always thought it was abandoned but there was a girl on the street in her pjs so I guess not......

Pirate Chic

To celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I went to work today dressed like a very manly pirate. I am very convincing and menacing! I even won an award! A certificate and free movie tickets because I was clearly the best dressed pirate.

Okay, so only me and the guy running the competition dressed up! But still I feel very very honoured, and feel like a bit of looting and sword fighting. I had an eye patch too, but it didn't really work out, because I am clever and could not manage to put it on without a mirror. Also you can't see in the picture I had one big gold hoop in, and copious amounts of eyeliner.

Also I made this dress in about two minutes last night, to go with the piratey theme. So I very much deserve a nice prize and certificate for all the effort! Don't you Arrrgree? Yes that was the lamest joke in the history of jokes. All bow down before me.

So I decided I quite like my shoddy, badly made stripey dress. It matches my hair you see. Look up there, I have dressed it for wintery weather and then dressed it for summery weather. It is a very very versatile dress. I can see it also working as a skirt or a top too. HUZZAH!

What are all your thoughts on the matter? Is pirate chic hot or not?

Is it safe for me to go into public in very very badly sewn garments??
