Bling Nation is coming!!!

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!

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!!!!

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

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

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!

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...

After a long, long bum-numbing journey Princess and Lady have returned to their home shores. Refreshed, refuelled, and ready to rock. 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.
so...
buckle up!
Raarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
