The Queensland State Library has a flickr account that they constantly update with more and more vintage photographs of life in Queensland. I am fascinated by it, and loved this particular photograph. A commenter pointed out that the photo was entirely staged as none of the fruit are mature enough to pick and the woman…

I have been deliberating over the winner of the Ezibuy $50 voucher for about an hour, and decided to make up little collages to help me! Thank you to everyone who entered; I am really delighted that you had a go at creating a fancy outfit for yourself, and Piaochong and Samedog even put together…
Friday Fance: Ridiculously huge hair bows
Today we will be discussing giant hair bows. I know Lady Gaga and Juicy Couture did this last year and at the beginning of this year, but I haven’t seen any giant hair bows in real life until just recently. This morning on Twitter, Marianne expressed fears of regressing back to traumatic childhood giant hair…
Friday Fance: Shiny things
I very nearly didn’t submit my report today because I just didn’t feel like it. Instead, I put on some music and squeezed out some fance! ⇒ Incredible needlework by benjibot, asking all the hard questions. Who DID die and make you Mr. Fancy? Hmmm? ⇒ For a while I was completely obsessed with the…
Friday Fance: People of Fance

Fanciful Friday: What I wore today edition
Gemma Correll started the “What I Wore Today” flickr group for people who love drawing and don’t really like posting photos of themselves to the internet. I think it’s such an awesome idea, even though you know I’m not shy about posting photos of myself!! Today’s Fanciful Friday is all about illustration, and how people…
Fanciful Friday: Floral Headpiece edition
This week I’ve been seeing some fantastical floral headpieces, so I wanted to spotlight the fanciful world of flowers-on-people’s-heads! You don’t need to be a bride to plop some flora on your noggin either – every day is an excuse to be fancy. ⇒ I wish I could tell you where this headpiece came from,…
Fanciful Friday
⇒ Eating apples with a knife! I don’t know why I love it so much, but it might have something to do with minimising facial mess! This photo was taken by Solarized. ⇒ Wearing t-bar sandals. If you’ve got wide feet like I do, Evans is fantastic for affordable wide fitting shoes. I thought I…
