One retro uni was enough for one search, so I didn't take these, but they are kind of cool. The white one was cracked, as those always were even back then. Surprisingly, the fake Plymouth was unbroken, though the metal clips were gone, and even the paint still looked good. It must have come off brand new, like many of those did. I still have some of those that I found back then, so I passed on this one
And here it is - my outfit for last night's ball. I went for simple faux-Sixties elegance this year, with a dress (actually fairly modern) which I picked up in a charity shop, and accessories gleaned from various lunchtime shopping trips in Wollongong. I'm really pleased with how it all came together.
This video is a slideshow of images of myself as Darla Chandler, a 1960s British pop singer/secret agent from my "Absolutely Smashing" franchise.

This was taken with a Canon EOS 550D fitted with a manual focus Olympus OM 50mm f1.8 lens. The photo was then tweaked using PhotoScape, a program that is now just about covering all my digital photo post-editing needs. I used it to add a vignette, then sharpening and adding a noise filter, finally the cross process film effect filter. I like the "tweaked" photo as it has more character than the original. The original image is in my "Olympus 50mm f/1.8 Lens" album.
This is supposed to be 20-s hairstyle. The wig is a little bit fuller than I expected but I couldn't find anything else.
The Loreo lens in a cap may be the worst lens ever made, but it creates some pretty crazy lens flares! I captured these two images in downtown Libertyville, Illinois one very cold evening this spring. I like how the lens flares look like they're the source of light lighting the blossoms. These images have a retro sci-fi feel, kind of like an old Toho movie.
Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner 4X-EDF in retro El Al livery arrives at London Heathrow Airport with a flight from Tel Aviv. Seeing the Dreamliner in this livery makes me think that the nose looks very much like a Caravelle...

Retro Ladder Street
Oil and Acrylic on Canvas
The painting is based on an old photo of Ladder Street, Hong Kong. I really like the clothes that the people were wearing which were either white or black which unified the image so well. A deliberate blue tone was added to the painting so as to create a cool jazzy feeling to it. It's also quite a challenge and a lot of fun to paint so many people in one painting. While painting each one of them, I was like going back in time, trying to think and feel what each person's life was like.
