a friend of a friend works at kensington palace and organised 'rock around the palace'
the palace is also celebrating 50 years since the last debutante was presented to the queen.
(the exhibition is definitely worth a look see) i volunteered to be a helpful debutante for the day
the above pictures are the only ones i took on the day
and they do not represent it at all, the event was outside on the lawn in front of the palace
after doing my time clicking the numbers onto the dance floor for ballroom classes, i got my chance to take to the dance floor for some afternoon jiving!
for this more rockin' part of the day i took off the little hat* i made,
and put on my plimsols - the debutante look can make you want to do something bad! i joined the dance class instead.
well all i can say is that i want to jive again, too much fun
*pictured below: my little tear drop hat, on top of the skirt i made. i couldn't help add the evil eye, i also put my lucky 4 aces brooch at the other end. the hats feathers are sadly bedraggled after i stuffed it into my bag :(
oh and apologies for contrived placement of her majesty in the background! (my teabag tin)

Looking good, darling!
You looked very nice yesterday.
And thank you kindly for letting us in through the kitchen door at the palace :)

I second the thank you and the compliment.
And you know, the mataki will WARD OFF the evil eye. (in case you have been intending the join forces with the baddies, it won't work that way) :)
