When I lived in Brisbane, almost every year we'd go to Greazefest. It's a rockabilly car and music festival that used to be like the event of the year for us and our rock n roll friends. We had friends in bands that would play and I saw Zombie Ghost Train at my very first Greazefest ever.

This year I've decided I would like to go, even though Edison will be just four weeks old! The last one we went to I had hot pink hair and Vince was just a few months old also! That was three years ago.

So right now I'm gathering up all my inspiration. I won't dress peaches and cream because I'm done with trying to go 'authentic' rockabilly. Before I had Vincent I ended up finding my own style and sticking to it. I didn't care I wasn't wearing the pretty dresses like the other girls on the 'scene' when we went to gigs and shows. That's what I plan on doing this year!

This photo was taken one month before I fell pregnant with Vincent! That's me in the sexy red heels and black hair, and Betty up on stage! I wore a black jumpsuit with red cuffs & straps. It was so comfy and so cute and my first onepiece I had ever made.

The sailor dresses I made for the Greazer's Ball. I made us all a different colour and a totally different style, just we all had sailor collars and sailor hats to match. You can't see in this photo but I wore blue heels, Betty wore white and Leona wore red, so we all matched.

My body had changed DRAMATICALLY since my pre-baby days, considering it had only been 2 and a half months since I had had little Vince! I made a simple little sundress with fake-piping and wore a ruffley pettiskirt underneath. I do remember having a total meltdown that morning because nothing was going right and I felt sooo unattractive. Tim convinced me we should still go so we arrived at 3pm on the last day and had a pretty good time.

Only a few things I need to make sure of because I have to be comfortable at Greazefest!

1. I'm going to be breastfeeding, so whatever I wear needs to have easy access
2. Again with the boobies, but how big will they be by then?
3. I'm a different shape right now to what I will be then! 

So I can't really make my outfit until like the week before, which isn't a big deal because I made my wedding dress the night before my wedding ahah!

Also I need to come up with ideas for my tiny rocker & rockette.
