Weekend Travels

So this past weekend was a rather bitter sweet weekend but well travelled....

Lets start with the sweet....sweet is always better!
So I took my rad advice and Pinned myself a bit up on Saturday to go surprise one of my Best (gay) friends is Jozi for his birthday. Its safe to say he was rather surprised! Que screaming like a little girl in the month of May.
I felt a little 'springy' despite the weather being slightly chilly, nevertheless I did what needed to be done to look as glamorous as possible!

Later on in the day I went for a visit with another friend of mine (Still looking as hot as fudge) where we went for a drink at Espresso's in Parkhurst.

Mona Lisa and the Flea

Sadly I didn't want to stay too long as the drive back to Pretoria is not too grand and beauty sleep was in order!

Sunday started with a bang as 18 cars joined us for a little road trippin' breakfast run to Warmbad (now Bela Bela)! 18 Rods and Muscle.....what other group of car freaks / enthusiasts gets 18 cars together for a short run? We do! Yeah we do!

Great run, great food, great people, great Sunday!

Now finally getting home, some R&R was in order but alas we now get to the bitter side of my story.

After having some issues with my man, MY man became THE man. I guess we are just 2 different people looking for 2 different things and we were just not able to handle each other. I am rather taking the break up hard, its never fun to go through and as sad as I am about the whole break up, I need to get back on my high Rod and carry on.

So today I, again, start a new. Time to put on my big girl panties and move the fuck on.

A new look. A new feel. A new lease on life!

Let the journey begin!

Keep Rodding <3

Make-over? Did someone say make-over?

Yes. A change is in order.

This blog was originally about Book club. But seeing as I haven't been in book club for close to 2 years and haven't really blogged in over a year I thought it was time for a change.

For the last few months I have been struggling with inspiration and motivation but after going through the amazing Pin Up Passion website, I got an overwhelming urge to do something about my 'non-creativeness' as so here we are. I have always loved the Pin up look but have never really done anything to try and become the best pin up I can be.

Winter is upon us here in South Africa and sadly I lack any motivation to do any effort with regards to dress, hair and make-up as you can see here:

Sad hipster beanie (But it is just oh so comfortable and cute), barely any make-up and hair that so desperately needs to be re-done.
This is me. Nothing fancy, yet I feel somehow I need to do a bit more. Spend more time in the mornings to make sure look as Pin-Up-a-licious as possible. Agree?

Agreed. So then from tonight on, I'm going to glamour my cold ass up and strut what I got - even if it is just to the movies. Hey, if Bettie Page went from a plain secretary to the 'Queen of Pinups' then I can sure as hell do the same thing!!

So I will be posting about my daily or weekly happenings and maybe a few pics of the best outfits of the week!

Till next time with more rockabilly exploits
