Miss Peggy Lee - in love again!

I found this while browsing through piles of old posters and photos. I bought this around 1994 - it actually contained the LP of I'm A Woman. I used to have the sleeve on my wall as it was such a fab picture and even took it to Toronto where I spent the summer of 1995. I suppose it was something of an inspiration for Miss Leggy Pee.

Burlescapades

The Assembly Rooms in preparation for Burlescapades- probably one of the most sumptuous venues I've performed at. A close second to the British Legion in Lerwick, Shetland Isles.

Cool

Enjoyed a weekend gigging with Mischief as The Snow Queen, in the run up to Christmas. Any job where you get to dress up in fur, white greasepaint and glittery make up, and tell lots of kids and parents that you play golf with Santa, can't be at all bad.

Stick the kettle on then

Obscene consumerism or a thing of strange beauty? Several hundred kettles at Tesco await good homes and loving owners.

Creative Martyr

Alastair from the Creative Martyrs gets festive and slightly spooky at the Spangled Cabaret Xmas Panto special.

Merry Christmas

A day of eating, drinking and taking about an hour to text everyone to wish a Merry Christmas:

Christmas Past

On my way out today, I pulled out my bus ticket from my handbag and found this ticket from exactly three years ago to the day. We only went because one of our favourite bands, Hoboken, were supporting them on their tour. It was a great gig, at least until the Human League came on...!

Nostalgia ...

King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys fully autographed poster from Feb 1992. Upleaded especially for anyone who played Dare in the kitchen at 3 Glasgow St...

Artsy Fartsy

Not worth the ticket money it was written on. Anthea wasn't even taking part.

Cross cultural charcuterie

After a mammoth 7 hours studying today, I treated myself to a trip to the big-and-getting-bigger Tesco at Springburn. While in the cooked meats aisle hunting out a bit of chorizo for my better half's next culinary exploit, I stumbled upon this delightful testament to Scotland's diverse population and their respective meaty treats. The Scotch Pie side by side with Polish sausage. Nice to see they included some macaroni pies to keep the veggies on side.

Dress me up

Having fun with the Miss Leggy Pee dressing up doll. I like the 'forgot my blouse' look.

The View as I see it

This band somehow inspire absolute dedicated mania in an audience that seemed to consist mostly of dodgy looking blokes whose vocabulary extends only to the phrase "the View, the View, the View are on Fire". I didn't get it myself, but then I'm not a thug from Dundee...

Pint of Tennant's and a saucer of milk please.

Holy Ghost Revival part 2

Evening at Tut's courtesy of Justin and the HGR, who I'm chuffed to be performin alongside at Kunst later this month. We might even stick around for The View.

Vin rouge al fresco

Spotted this morning in Woodlands. Probably an exquisite vintage.

'Backstage' at the 13th Note, Charlie and I try to dispel the opinion that we're no oil painting.

Here I am, day after day

All alone at this desk with only an individual fruit trifle for company... And it's bloody brilliant!

Where am I again?

Just as well I happened to have a bar code reader on me eh? Sheesh.

Bozilla

EOTMC

My favourite way to end the month. I'll be guising here on Halloween.

Aye aye

You can I get bored easily, can't you...

Anyone For Tennis

Cor blimey!

I say madam! Just found this in amongst my photos from Belladrum

Cheesecake

Another Burlesque night, i got to stage manage this one so got some great views from backstage. Pictured is Hettie Heartache, in the midst of a lovely fan dance.

Girls Best Friend

... as seen at Rockaburley, a most excellent evening combining rockabilly and burlesque. Sadly, I got no pics of the show itself. Anyway, am in the mood for blogging tonight. So we'll see what comes to pass.

Bloody luxury

Last night on the road. We invested in a rather grand B&B room. The enquite included a jacuzzi bath and shower which made up for the 'waters' of Strathpeffer. There was also a fridge - big enough for more than one bottle of wine - and a washing machine, presumably for freshening up ones jodphurs or plus fours. Jolly good, what?

Flutter by

Like a true townie, i'm agog at any upclose glimpse of 'nehchur'
(For info on what kind of flutterby this is, follow this link)

Rogie Falls

Lovely unspoiled beach no 2

This beach was even less spoiled than the other one because it was an hours hike down a path not shown on most maps. And an hour back again. Proper remote, likes.

Lovely unspoiled beach no 1

At a secret location up north. If I specified where it was, everyone would go, they'd bring in chip vans and ice cream vans and build an amusement arcade. So let's keep it unspoiled.

Inverewe Gardens

Plants and that.

Gruinard Bay

At the ruined chapel of Sand Udrigle, looking out towards Gruinard Island where anthrax was first tested in the early 1940s. They didn't decontaminate the island until 1990.

Plockton

View along Plockton harbour, as seen in The Wicker Man.
