Toes


Toes, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

I do love a good pedicure. This is an old photo, so I no longer remember which nail polish that was. I think I must be wearing fake bake here since the colour on the toes looks a bit artificial...but looks pretty good anyway. I published this photo in Flickr and several people added it as a fave...foot fetish anyone? ;-)

Hello Kitty


Hello Kitty, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.
This was my genuine Hello Kitty purse I bought in the Hello Kitty shop in Beijing. I had a white laptop bag to match. However, I no longer have these. I gave the purse to a friend and recycled the laptop bag (it got dirty and it wasn't possible to wash it). I used to have around 50 purses but have cut way back.

Shoes

This was a fave pair of sandals - while they lasted. I literally wore them to death. I had them repaired several times until they were simply beyond repair.

Chinese top 2


Chinese top 2, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

This top is the same as the one in the previous post, but in some sort of man-made fabric (no idea which kind since the labels are all in Chinese!). I've often worn this with a pair of leather pants and it almost looks like it was leather too.

I bought several tops like this on a trip to Beijing for next to nothing. This one is cotton and I usually wear it with jeans.

Louis Vuitton dress

I love this LV qi pao style dress. Qi pao is the traditional Chinese dress and, having lived in China, I've had several made. Seems that they are in fashion now.

As seen on vogue.com

Foots

More notebook doodles. The text reminds me of something that Manolo Blahnik has said, that he "loves feets".

Pink jeans

Doodles from a notebook I had as a teenager. I had a pair of hot pink corduroy Gloria Vanderbilt jeans - they were so gorgeous! Yes, it was in the 80's.....

Horses are another fave subject matter. I drew this one at age 12.

Teddy

More of my childhood artwork. I am sure that I have copied at least some of this from some book, but still, I think it's kind of cute.

Trinkets
