'twas three days before the ball... I did not have a gown. my mum let me take a day off school to go into town (with my #bff @HV3RVAMP!!) to look for a dress. went into a vintage shop called Zigurat (or smth like that), and the first dress I tried on FIT LIKE A GLOVE. apparently it was custom made for someone back in the day, and OH MY LORD, if you had told me it had been made for me specifically I would have believed you. the photo doesn't really show it, but it shimmers and changes colour in the light, from green to aqua to orange -- this dress is MESMERISING. one of a kind, and the price tag had me believing it too - $175. worth every penny.
shoes I just wore my platform docs because I didn't have time to find anything else -- also first photo was before I'd done my hair, I didn't end up wearing it in plaits like that lol

Wowwww looking back at these pictures is so weird I feel so much more different now. So my prom was 4 years ago but this was my lovely dress! I still have it I kept it because it’s so cute and could possibly be worn for other events! (It doesn’t fit me anymore but maybe someone else could use it)
I hope everyone had fun at their prom this year!🪩

so if you saw my previous van post, you'd notice I was referring to her as 'she'. that's what she's always been to me, in fact I had the plan that if I ever did buy this van, I'd name her Shelby. HOWEVER -- I just got a text from the seller who referred to her as 'he', 'him', and most shockingly... 'Mr Chilli'. now I won't dismiss the name, it is pretty cool -- but who am I to deny the beautifully feminine and womanly energy that she emits? there's no doubt about it. this is NOT who she is in her soul.
of all of the adventures I'd hope 'Mr Chilli' would take me on, I never expected we'd take the path of self discovery. if all the stars align and I find myself in guardianship of this van, I'll be sure to guide her on the journey into becoming the beautiful Miss Shelby ♡

(holy YAP ahead) TEST DROVE A VAN TODAY. I think she's the one.
I. AM. SO. EXCITED. my DREAM has been to buy a van, which ideally was an old automatic toyota hiace that someone's done the dirty work of putting the bare bones of utilities in, AND BOY HAVE I FOUND HER.
a 2003 toyota hiace with a bed, a sink, AN OUTDOOR SHOWER MECHANISM?? solar panels??!! a mini fridge???? we're just adding anything at this point because WHAT. and the cherry on top, she's got freedom camping license!!1!1! SHE'S GOT IT ALL.
met the seller today, I've had my eye on this van for a few months now, but I thought something wouldn't work out, it felt too good to be true. I took her for a test drive not thirty minutes ago and she is WONDERFUL. I'm gonna be smart obvi and get an AA test (THIS WEEK?!?!?) which means that my dream of OWNING MY OWN VAN could be coming true NEXT. WEEK.
my long hard hours working for minimum wage are about to pay off, and pay off BIG TIME.
