Hello! My name is Lucy and I march to the beat of 'The Carnabetian Army'.
What is that you may ask?
It was penned by Ray Davies in 1966 in the song "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" as a humorous homage to the fashion enthusiasts that would strut their stuff through Swinging London's Carnaby Street in the 1960's.
This blog is a documentation of my life as someone that tries to relive the spirit of the time. And so, you'll see me posting about gorgeous vintage clothing, records that I add to my ever-expanding collection, stylish dolly-birds from the time and much more. Please do feel free to drop me a line and say hello or even ask any questions that you may have. I love hearing from my readers!
Some quick facts about me
- I am a complete 'screamie' for The Beatles. George Harrison is my favourite.
- I live in Australia and am currently studying at University.
- There isn't much in this world that makes me feel more 'me' than when I have a guitar in front of me.
- I am an avid drawer and for a while in the past I studied Fine Art.
- Eerie things fascinate me.
you are a convincing looking "chick" from the 1960's.......

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool blog. I got into Carnaby Street fashion and lifestyle after finding the book, "Psychedelic Celluloid" and was mesmerized by the films, as some of them show Carnaby street, like "Smashing Time". Other films in the book like, Tommy The Who, Anna 1967, Blow-Up, Privilege starring Jean Shrimpton, Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter, The Touchables, The Bliss of Miss Blossom, Joanna, Moon Zero Two, O Lucky Man, The Final Programme.. I felt that the 60s counter-culture was a true embrace of freedom without unnecessary restrictions. I have some books on Carnaby Street boutiques and some BIBA books, lol. I went to art school too.
ReplyDeleteDo you think you died young in the sixties and didn't get to fulfil your life and have to do that part of this lifetime?
