My name is Blondina, and I am a model, welcome to the first instalment of my blog! The first thing you need to know about me is that I am a huge Vivienne Westwood fan. I have been a follower of 'The Dame' since I first made the pilgrimage to ‘World's End’, way back in the day when that was the only shop she had!

Oh yes I remember ‘punk rock’, the Pirate Collection, Rocking Horse shoes ,Harlequin and Columbine, Buffalo Girls, Sarah Stockbridge (my favourite model ever), The mini-crini, “Don’t you ever kiss me once kiss me twice”, Harris tweed, the man who forgot his trousers, and even the dame who forgot her pants at the palace!

Now I know I don’t look old enough to go that far back, let’s just say that good genes run in my family, and any way what’s lacking in nature can always be made up for with a good plastic surgeon! So age aside here I am, at the peak of my career now working as the Platinum Blonde showroom dummy; and I have to tell you it’s a job I love, for I am in Vivienne Westwood heaven! I spend all day surrounded by gorgeous Vivienne Westwood accessories, handbags with specially picked matching purses. The costume jewellery is to die for and there are delicious scarves made of silks, wool and fine linens, to wraparound my delicate neck; and now we have added Vivienne Westwood ‘Melissa’ shoes to our collection, What girl could ask for anything more?

There is a lot more to being a showroom dummy than one might think; apart from the usual requirements, flawless milky skin, exquisite cheek bones, and thighs to stop a truck, one must also have the ability to sit still for hours on end, gazing out at the high street, looking fabulous and giving the people of Coleshill something to aspire too!

I suppose you could say that I am a bit of a mentor, so I am going to make it my task to guide all you Vivienne Westwood fans towards, what’s in and what’s out?, what’s hot and what’s not?!!!

Lots of Love Blondina x

A change of climate

Hi there Fashionellas,


I've had a really wild time in Milan at the Vivienne Westwood menswear show! Flirted outrageously with all the gorgeous male models, and one very much in particular! Guess what not all male models are Gay! The guys all had their faces painted with the “Moustache and Monocle” an image that is fast becoming Vivienne’s symbol for her climate revolution. Now this is a difficult look to pull off, you may remember I have tried it myself (when I first took up the mantle and joined the fight to save the planet)! Suffice it to say if you’re gorgeous you can wear anything!


Whilst in ItalyI have became totally enveloped in the continental spirit of things and embraced every opportunity to enjoy myself.  The food was “bellisimo”, the ambiance intoxicating; the ‘Italian stallion’ waiters, far more saucy than anything on the menu!


I drank too much, and ate too much, so managed to put on more than a few pounds! Fortunately I was able to work it all off being chased around the hotel swimming pool, by my favorite model wearing nothing more than his ‘budgie smugglers’!

Well i'm back in the UK and the climate has changed again; I'm keeping warm in my vintage fur whilst building my "Climate Revolution" snowman to show my support for the cause!


Here I have accessorized with a crocheted Vivienne Westwood hat, and my beautiful cream Red Label wool scarf. 


So here is my snowman, isn't he handsome? He has a Vivienne Scarf to keep him warm and his very own monocle and moustashe! 



Well I was rocking last season's Westwood wellies, which I wouldn't dream of being seen in in public but they are just fine for snowman building in the garden!  My bag is AW12/13 Vivienne Westwood Large Diamond Expedition Print and extremely rare. I of course had no problem getting my hands on it due to my fashion credentials but not everyone would be so lucky! 


Just look at us, don't we make a beautiful couple. My  revolutionary snowman is keeping me company as I pine after my lovely Italian model I left behind in that Milan swimming pool.

Ciao for now my Bella Sorellas.
