St. Luke's Charity lunch and fashion show...how far did they go?


It's the St Luke's Fashion Show

Lisa Baker was there; here with the compare Lyn
It seemed like there was a blessing on proceedings
I was there obviously...
This was not the first St Lukes Fashion Show.
Here are pics from TIME magazine 1960;



and other's from 1954;

other photos indicate this event goes back as early as 1940

....could not see this very well?
another going on;
It's the Christian Rainbow group having a meal at Maccas after the monthly evening service.
This remembers that on the other side of the rainbow people of colour in 1960 had to fight for this right.

This is off the wall;


 Just looking at my frame of signed photos. Strange level of continuance on the maid theme. An unthought-of subscriber to the black and white school of uniform is the motorcyclist or in the case of Steve Bisley is the motorcycle cop as "Goose" in Mad Max. A policeman is called to times of "on duty" and a code of behaviour. Although my photo of Tony Nelson and Jeannie is signed by Larry Hagman obviously the housemaid is played by Barbara Eden. Not quite a maid outfit was worn but like with the motorcyclist's leathers, some similarities exist. Code of behaviour? ..."Out of control" mostly.

A bit like my buying a "Sissy Maid" outfit online? One challenge when wearing a maid outfit was going down the fire-escape stairs to collect the laundry. I opted for a spy like rain jacket as an easy solution as well as putting on shorts. Spy like stealthy travel would be another necessity for the average sissy-wear dresser. Barbara Feldon plays the femme-fatale 99 in this series alongside Don Adams as Maxwell Smart. 

The phrase is French for "fatal woman". A femme fatale tries to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, or sexual allure. In many cases, her attitude toward sexuality is lackadaisical, intriguing, or frivolous. In some cases, she uses lies or coercion rather than charm.

Margot Kidder ever wanting a photo of Superman especially in the presence of Clark Kent who is usually mysteriously absent. Um, yeah reminiscent of my new exercise leotard which kind of requires underpants on the outside to remain decent. I wore it to my physio workout the other day but with my usual basketball gear over the top. Finally a plush Luigi trys on Cloud Straifs wrist guard as a hat.

Maid another bad impression?

Not sure about the effect of all this house maid work I've been doing lately.
Possibly just having a wider range available online?
Its surprising though I don't actually dress like this for my work as a housecleaner;
I do end up leaving a trail of unsatisfied customers.
These tend to be female.
I guess I'm not what people expect for this work.
Oh well, I do feel like I can draw on ideas such as scrubbing with a "lighter touch".
Just one idea in my attempt to make it as a maid!
