Lounge Leopard


Eating chocolate, painting my nails and drinking freshly-brewed coffee whilst watching Carry On Dick in my 1960's Lux-Lux nylon three-piece.


This saucy ensemble was 20p from last week's jumble sale. I'm amazed that I managed to find all three pieces, mind you vintage undies aren't to everyone's taste, a bit like pork scratchings.



To the uninitiated they are salted and deep-fried crunchy pork rind. To meat-eating Brits they are a perfect accompaniment to a pint of ale. The lads in our our gang love 'em. No doubt more will be consumed later.



We're off out on the town again this evening. Hope you have fun, too.

  1. You look so relaxed and sensuous on your sofa.
    I don't eat Pork, but for meat lovers I'm sure it's good. The nail varnish is very pretty as is your nice top. XX

  2. hubba hubba!!!!!!!! You are saucy sister!!! And oh wow... your resemblance to Helen is unmistakeable here.

    A very very vintage look...the photos are just perfect!

    Carry On Up The Jungle was my favourite!

  5. Suitable attire for a Carry On I think. I wished I'd know 'Dick' was on, I love them all but they rarely show that one. I hope you're going to get changed to go out? It's a bit nippy at night! Have fun! We've got a foreign language film (The White Ribbon) and some Crabby's alcoholic ginger beer. xxx

  7. That sounds like the perfect day to me...lounging around looking fabulous and watching tv and painting my nails. Hehe.

    Oh, I know I've probably said this before, but I think it would be insanely cool to go shopping with you. If only. :)

    PS. Thank you for being such a sweet bloggy friend to me. It means the world. xo

  8. Yeow - you are looking hot sister!

    So, ok pork scratchings = pork rinds. I get it. In San Diego you can sometimes find it looking like one big sheet of rind. You break it apart and sprinkle chili powder with a squeeze of lime...and a beer...very tasty indeed!

    Never heard of Carry on Dick but found it on YouTube, looks amusing!

    Have fun this evening, Vix, Bonnie

  10. Wish I could wear stuff like that.
    But I'm porkier than pork scratchings so it's not feasible.
    You look great as always.

  15. That is indeed an incredibly saucy outfit, but you pull it off with such class! 20p, good grief, that is amazing! WHY haven't I tracked down some car boot and jumble sales yet?

  18. YOWZA Vix,
    how minxy is that set!
    I'm not averse to buying vintage underwear...nothing that a good old boil wash can't sort out but needless to say deadstock is always preferable.
    Most of my own vintage lingerie collection was picked up from various charity shops & car boot sales...it's a real treat when you find a complete set or something that is still in it's original packaging.
    You look absolutely stunning Vix...VIXEN INDEED!
    ...xXx

  31. Rod is a pork rind eating fool! it's so neat to see the packaging from England. I love seeing things that are not in the "box" of the U.S.
    Reminds me that there is a big old world out there and it's full of new and different things!
