Princess C, Lady J and the Upper Crust

Bling Nation is coming!!!

2011-11-03T00:37:00.000-07:00

Get out the jimmy bar, crack open those piggy banks, activate all credit cards and get online to Edition X as Bling Nation has landed! Those clever pirates at Pieces of Eight have many pieces to tickle your X spot.... With a 24 hour, 7 days a week online store, plus a showroom in Fitzroy. It's time to shine..... and we mean that literally... Swarovski's, 22ct gold and pure animal essense await your creditcard details... no free steak knives or ab toners though....

So, you are asking what is Bling Nation?
Well....

A body of *Bajishered Beasts that have crawled from the creative loins of Princess C and Lady J.

Jessica Morrison and Coconut Lu have taken Bling Nation to a level that resembles the love child of Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom meets Ravi Shanker (and it was humid).
These 22ct gold leafed godly creatures are detailed with the finest Swarovski’s sourced from a planet far far away… Like Queensland or somewhere…

These magnificent beasts are set to redefined the fashion world as we know it… As they put the Coo in Couture.

*bajishhering: a completely made up word by us meaning the
collective noun for Swarovski crystals, gathering
i.e; school of fish, mob of kangaroos, bajishering of Swarovskis.

As Edition X opens on the 5th November, we thought we would introduce some of our limited edition friends.. So limited in fact that there are only 3 of each ever ever ever made....... Whoa....

Princess C and Lady J would like to present:

Maude Vicious

This ageing punk rocker's "natural" beauty doesn't come cheap.... Thousands of years of tanning in beachside Florida will give you that antique golden glow. This outrageous lady is not just a pretty face she has some health and beauty advice for you youngsters.... Smoking does give you crows feet, eating paper does give you worms and tattoos are for LIFE.... Get it right the first time. Cos, bloody hell, translations are not guaranteed and those chinese tattoos, while they look cool, who wants people ordering dim sims from a menu off your upper thigh??? Wearing animal prints are slimming... rrreeeoow ra pur lick lick muuuaa
Oh yea and dancing in the dark is an acceptable form of exercise.

Giddy up!

2011-09-15T21:28:00.000-07:00

Ed just couldn't resist dropping into the new Pony Boy Parlour where even Princess C and Lady J would have been dazzled with technicolour treasures. For a visual feast like no other head down to Pony Boy Parlour 284 Albert St, Brunswick and visit Ed and the other members of the upper crust crowd.

It's like eating space dust through your eyes.....and that's a good thing!

Busy, busy!!!!

2010-07-19T00:03:00.000-07:00

A photo montage of the Princess C, Lady J and the Upper Crust Family expedition to the Royal Exhibition building to be apart of Design Made Trade. Where only the best exhibitionist expose their wares.

Head check, Wilson, Harriet......Nigel keep your hands to yourself!

Here on arrival The Royal Exhibition Building stands in all it's splendour. (Missing the red carpet though). This is where Princess and Lady donned their 'Jolly' safety vests to set up in their new home, as Royalty does not quibble with Nazi events wardens!!!!!!! Safety, Safety with a smile...or with something else...?

Lucky the big bad wolf did not find us, as if he had of huffed and puffed he would have blown our cardboard emergency housing down.
But we loved our cosy quarters and our room mates too!!!

And from this angle...

Details, details!!!!!!!

The action.

Lady and the Princess.

Kevin and his mob demonstrating how they do it best.

Ahhhh, the end. It was four fast and furious days that the gang danced with many a new friend.

Design Made Trade

2010-07-12T06:45:00.000-07:00

Princess C and Lady J have gathered their friends and are going to be hanging out at Design Made Trade - On this weekend at the Royal Exhibition Buildings on Nicholson St, Carlton. Go to this site for more details.
Come visit us and pick up a new beast for your bosom.

Shady Shaneel

2010-06-24T01:49:00.000-07:00

Hailing from far north Queensland, this slippery when wet sea hound, may give a good wet whisker kiss, but this girl is a really low class act.
Never far from becoming tabloid fodder, Shady Shaneel's antics have become too much. She's packin' up and moving to the motherland. She swears it wasn't her in those pictures, but who else has those long luscious lashes and a tattoo of Boy George on her hind rump. Not me!!!!
Hmm yeah right Shaneel fair shake of the sauce bottle, put another snag on the barbie, don't come the raw prawn with me!!!!!!
No longer will she be synonymous with fish and chips and no longer will she call Australia home.
Let the motherland deal with her twang that bangs like a dunny door in the wind when she has wind.

Shaneel, small brooch $30

Moose: Art for living... loving and shopping!

2010-01-24T16:41:00.000-08:00

Thank you Master Brown, you and your moose and squirrel have warmly welcomed our colourful beasts to your site. They have reported back to base that they love the technicolour spread that you have put on for them. Colour is what makes their world go round and we do like to see our little friends in all their glory.

To visit and perhaps adopt Barry, Maude or any of the other exceptionally good looking specimens give Moose: Art for living a serious look over as there is many a treat and new love to be found!!!!!!!

Barry have you been working out?

Year of the tiger, oh yeah baby!! Raar...

2010-01-17T20:33:00.000-08:00

So many friends and tasty meals over the festive season really does put the rosey glow back into ones cheeks and prepares you for the up and comings for the new year.

My island home

2009-10-04T20:36:00.000-07:00

Nigel can feel the breeze blowing through his hair (all over) and whilst he can smell the wafts of jasmine and almost hear the ukulele playing softy in the background. Nigel is feeling perplexed and slightly irritated and it's not just the sunburn and sand fly bites although they are annoying. It's Barry he is always hanging around. Get your own freaking tree bro'!

Nana's Medallion

2009-09-13T23:04:00.001-07:00

Nana might not understand the spunk of today's crazy youth with their sawn off shot guns, razor edged saws, wizz fizz and peyote fueled weekends. But...she does however like doilies and bedazzling gems. The old girl does like to sparkle on the cheap! Thrifty.
Winner, winner chicken dinner! This one is for you Nanaconda.

Wheel de Beast

2009-08-16T20:22:00.000-07:00

This Motley crue are abused underpaid performers for the well known television station B.C. They are the regular stars of 'Sale of Last Century' frequently seen pouting and shimming around product placement. People don't realise how dangerous this business of excess is...
Abraham has developed a rash from last weeks expensive lava day spa. He would rather live with his laughter lines than be loofered with pumice and frangipani petals ever again.
Tyrone's love of all things leather and stiletto has given him back complaints and a bit of chaffing. OUCH!
Little country bumpkin Timmy, didn't realise the effect his sex symbol status would have on the ladies, he feels objectified.
So in conclusion they are sick of being stereo-typed into the really, really good looking dinosaur category. Charlie, Tyrone, Abraham and little Timmy are now looking for a union that will fight for your right to party without judgement.

J.J

2009-08-02T20:58:00.000-07:00

With his rockstar good looks and streamlined physique, this Goggomobil mechanic is wanting his cake and eating it too. With his fluid dynamic it doesn't take much for this lothario to lure the ladies into his shark net.
With so many hot lady fish in the sea, he works his magic with slow dancing to Nina Simone and hot pashing action... kinda like high school. J.J.'s main aim is to get his dermal denticles rubbed and massaged.
On weekends and public holidays J.J enjoys the odd surfer or two, he likes to play 'spot the honeymooner', it's his absolute favourite. It is quite the sport and keeps him trim, although the neoprene flossing can be irritating.
"Show us your white pointers, call me back in 5...."
J.J really is the love rat of the ocean.

J.J small brooch $30

Pony Club

2009-07-26T18:17:00.000-07:00

Ed is all horse. In fact a Mongolian stallion living in Caulfield South. Show pony doesn't even begin to cover it....Ed has been known to lace his hay with muscle building powder that he purchases from the boot of shady Shaneel's car, at the rear of Woolies (after dark and on a full moon). Ed is all about performance enhancements, which to his detriment sometimes leads him up the garden path. A real bum steer. He still hasn't seen Clarice or Snouty since that fateful night with the shaman. The other pony's in the stables just don't appreciate the botox around his eyes or his man defining cleft chin. He is silky smooth, tight and shiny, just how he likes it.

Pony Club, medium brooch $35

Nigel

2009-06-14T21:29:00.000-07:00

This is Nigel, he is a dentist and for privacy reasons we can not show you his face. Not only is Nigel a highly recommended dentist, he has peppermint fresh breath and nimble fingers. In his after hours private time Nigel enjoys dressing like a fighter pilot and gets his friends to call him Captain.
At work however, he is very professional and although his hygiene standards are high, his trusty assistant Ling Ling is for ever plucking stray black back hairs from inappropriate places...like filling mixtures, in between patients teeth, on the lid of the antiseptic bottles, in her sandwich and on the dental dams etc.
Ling Ling wonders whether she can approach her hirsute boss? Should she leave a suggestion in the suggestion box? Should she just drop subtle hints? Or should she flat out tell him she is going into the Meerkin weaving business and she is going to farm him???
Poor Ling Ling.

Nigel, medium brooch $35

Now landing in Italy! John Doe

2009-05-27T05:31:00.000-07:00

Princess C and Lady J are excited to inform you that the eagle had landed that the homing pigeons have zoned in and finally delivered our special package to the John Doe Store. Although it seems they have been to Barbados and back, Clarice and Kevin are tanned and ready for their European adventures.
John Doe usually stands for the unknown, but this super store is well and truly on the map...and we have one!
So go visit and send us a post card of you, Maude and Harriet at the piazza.

John Doe
San Domenico 18, Torino, Italy.

Woooooohoooooooooooooooo! :)
Ciao Italia grazie per aver noi! xx

Where's my horse?

2009-05-18T23:35:00.000-07:00

Dude.... Where's my horse?
After a big night out chewing Peyote and Wizz Fizz, Clarice and Snouty look perplexed. Where is my horse and why are we naked and attached to a cactus? Hmmmm. On further investigation it appears their burnt feet are a product of getting freaky with the shaman and walking on the hot coal beds. Ed the horse nicked off quite early in the night when Snouty mistook him for Spam and went after him with his spork. Smart one that Ed.
If you have any information on Ed or exactly what happened that night, or if you were indeed actually there, please let us know in the comment section below.
Crimestoppers thanks you.
Your scheduled program will now resume.

Lucky Lester

2009-05-10T23:49:00.000-07:00

This is lucky Lester. Born in the year of the Dragon, not in the eye of the Tiger.
He is quite the slippery fellow with his tentacles in many a nori roll. To the untrained eye it would appear his talents lie on the whirring wheels of the sushi train, but the shadier folk know him as a sweet talker with a keen eye on the pearls, those oysters don't stand a chance, nothing clams up on him.
Suckers!

Lester, large brooch $45

Dino Air

2009-04-26T17:42:00.000-07:00

One could say that Dino Air is a little antiquated. Although, gone are the days of having to mount a Pterodactyl which was messy. Very messy, more misses than hits with those unreliable winged beasts with teeth. However progressive these new mechanical birds of steel were at the turn of the century not much has evolved at Dino Air since the 1960's. The in-flight service leaves something to be desired. The all you can eat if you can catch it system only works for some and the constant reel to reel repeats of the feature movies 'Jurassic Park' 1, 2,3 and 4 can really bake your noodle. Lucky for the hot sassy stewardesses, no 'VPL' in those tight packages in fact no panties at all.

The Kevin

2009-04-15T19:19:00.000-07:00

Kevin is a forward planner, agreeable in nature, but has the power to create quite the shitstorm. He is a generous fellow and likes to hand out random wads of cash. We say 'Nice one Kev', 'High Five'. Although this time, it appears we have been overlooked..... How did this happen Kev? Confucius say 'Your pouch is deep, you bound far and wide look after your mob'.

Kevin, small brooch, $30

Your Hindness

2009-04-06T19:47:00.000-07:00

Elizabeth, not known for her delicate nature,was busted giving the paparazzi the royal ass. Mooning, as its commonly called, has become somewhat of a nightly adventure sport for this ladette and her ratbag friends. Whilst her parents accompany her siblings to civil sports such as Polo and Clay shooting events, Liz is off overindulging in fine liquors and feeding her clepto tendency's.
Poor Liz, will she ever live up the high Royal expectations?
At least she has kept herself tidy.

Your Hindness. Small brooch $30

Dino Noir

2009-03-29T22:09:00.000-07:00

Don't let this idyllic tropical oasis setting fool anyone...Maude the underground dwelling tyrannosaurus raises her head at the glowing moon to show off her new porcelain veneers. Expensive, but natural looking. She is trying to encourage her companion Charlie to seek professional help regarding his swollen gums. Due to too much tobacco chewing he has developed a bad stink ass case of gingivitis. The forest can no longer afford to suffer and wilt from the horrifying stench emanating from his petite mouth. Charlie get help! Free us from these dark days.

Watch out for Wombat aggression...

2009-03-22T21:12:00.000-07:00

Wilson the teenage wombat is having an identity crisis. What is particularly upsetting for Wilson and his growing pains is the suggestion that he looks like a squirrel, a badger or even a hamster. So, now he's on a mission of self discovery as he has been in trouble for midnight tent raids on poor unsuspecting couples. His misguided youthful energy is now being put towards constructive (not destructive) uses. What he does know is that his mum has a pouch and its backwards. This makes him special.

'Wilson' Medium Brooch $35

Chop Suey

2009-03-12T17:51:00.000-07:00

Ahhhhhhhhh, CHOP SUEY..... Watch out for this possessed axe called Suey, an experiment gone wrong from the magic kitchens of the Iron Chef(yellow) and Chairman Kaga. This mystical axe only rises on the red moon...or the blue moon.. or the pink moon or in fact .... any brightly coloured moon. Damn tart. Is Suey. She has an axe to grind. Muuuhaahaahaaaa.

Chop Suey (medium brooch $35)

Barry

While Bazza enjoys wearing his yellow hard hat and overalls and drinking Solo from a wide mouthed can, he is definitely a refined renaissance man. Status is single but certainly looking for love in all the wrong places. (ladies beware he lives with his mother)

2009-02-22T21:53:00.000-08:00

Even though Tricky Triceratops has a penchant for large guns and prickly plants, she is a lover of cross stitch and macrame. Her favorite food is red jelly with sour snakes and prickly pear flavoured mojitos. She is a dedicated librarian with the potential to go postal..... Beware!!! She hates dog eared pages.

Tri Me... (large brooch $45)

What Happened??

2009-02-04T18:43:00.000-08:00

Air Crash Investigations were on the scene quickly to determine the nature of exactly 'What Happened?' Luckily, two witnesses were on hand to provide much needed information. Apparently one was in the middle of roasting Hazelnuts when there was an almighty BANG, which subsequently caused the witness to jump, complete with frying pan in hand, managing to flick every last one of the hazelnuts onto the floor.Thereby completely ruining the desert for that evening.
It is currently unknown who was piloting the plane and there is a mysterious green smoke that will not clear.
Anyone with information please contact ACI.

Check out the lovely Clarice in Frankie Magazine's 'win stuff' section. She's looking pretty hot!

Snouty

2009-01-12T19:39:00.000-08:00

This is Snouty, and yes, he is a cranky pants. He doesn't like much, and only enjoys eating Spam with a spork. Steer clear of him on Mondays and Tuesdays as he feels this is too early in the week to be reasonable.

Heimlich

2009-01-12T19:25:00.000-08:00

Meet Heimlich, he is a lovely stealthy fellow with a tail even Basil Brush would be envious of. He enjoys fresh running water and licking himself secretly in the closet whilst listening to George Michael. His favourite colour is wasabi pea green.

Princess C, Lady J and the upper crust

When an explorer first enters on the investigation of so remote a place as bestia demens, they find themself as it were in a new world. They can scarcely meet with any fixed points from whence to draw their analogies.

Nevertheless, Princess C and Lady J, who went out this day with their everriculum, had the good fortune to belay one of the animals which had been so much the subject of their speculation; an idea of it will best be conceived by the attached representation, without which, the most accurate verbal description would answer very little purpose, as it has not similitude enough to any animal already known, to admit of illustration by reference.

(with apologies to Darwin and Hawkwsworth)
