I felt this was just the right outfit to go and see a few metal bands on Thursday night.
60's, golden, glittery....knowing it was going to be a sea of black, that I would stick out like dog's balls....
Yes.
Perfect!
Must've done the trick; I was hit on by some slightly sordid looking guy whilst standing right next to G!
Yeah, I must still have it!
Although I didn't feel like I had anything but yawns and bags under my eyes on Friday; we didn't get home until 1am!
Outrageous!
Frock-60's, Etsy
Shoes-Trade Me
Sequin clutch and mink brooch-the divinity that is Vix
Headpiece-Wildfell Hall
Other brooches-markets
Locket-markets, strung by moi
Sunglasses-50's, lovely Sue
In other news, G and I paid off our mortgage earlier this month, and to celebrate, we treated ourselves to this splendid mid-century clock!
We've always wanted one, the timing was right, and we had some spare cash... it was destiny!
Smugness be my name....

ohhhh nommy clock! Helga my fine lil darling next time you are in Wellington you need to pop into Rebound clothing on the Petone Foreshore, they have a whole room rack of fabulous dress's with your name on them! xxxx
Paid it off! Bloody brilliant!
You have every right to be smug..
Love the clock. Great ankles! x
You look absolutely beautiful in that frock - I bed a few folks in the sea of black were in awe of your awesome-ness.
I am so happy you and G have payed off your mortgage! You're such an inspiration and you most certainly deserved that fancy clock to celebrate:)
Very cool clock! You look fabulous! I think every women should have some golden article of clothing in her clothes be it shoes, sweater or dress. It just makes one sparkle in the light. Love the mink brooch.
Of course you still have it Helga! Not sure if I do though, it's ages since I've been chatted up by anyone, sordid looking or otherwise. Congratulations to you and G on paying off your mortgage and that clock is beautiful, looks just right with your orange walls. xx
Your mink brooch is so much like mine! http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9sCzuNIifv4/UKGZzpfls9I/AAAAAAAARmU/rh2j9lyNosc/s1600/025.JPG
I got mine on the west coast of Canada about 4 years ago!
Looking so fab, as always, Helga!
Congratulations on paying off your mortgage. The clock looks perfect on the wall. :)
A rockchick in brocade and glitter - I love it!
Hurray to paying off the mortgage, and treating yourselves to that fabulous clock, it looks great against the orange.
I love that you went all bright and golden and girly among the black hoardes for the gig. Getting chatted up... Can't remember what that's like! But I would definitely have chatted you up, darling, because you look divine! Gorgeous frock, lusting after that sequinned clutch, and loving the gold (gold!) shoes!
You SHOULD be smug, it's only right! xxxxxxxxx
Still got it? I should bloody say so!
I love the thought of you standing out in a mass of black...not to be confused with a Black Mass, but then again, you'd stand out at one of them as well.
That clock is a stunner, and why not have a lot of what you fancy? I'd be smug too.

Do you want to kill me with that gorgeous dress, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
My dear Helga looking at you is the best Christmas present ever.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Oh you do suit gold! Congrats on the mortgage freedom, its such a good feeling and it never quite goes away! Merry christmas you shiny bauble of a woman you x
This is a perfect outfit period! That brocade dress is so gorgeous, and I love the shoes and the hot pink clutch you've put with it. I adore your vintage brooches and the shoes, oh the shoes!!
A perfect frock for rock .
Old gold, is there anything more beautiful? I LOVE the dress and the shoes. One of my earliest memories is of a Sunray clock in a neighbour's house. I was mesmerised by it then and I still am now. They are so iconic. WELL DONE on the mortgage front, that is great! xx
Still got it, babe! That dress is fabulous and it was an act of genius to team it with the sequinned clutch and cluster of badges, the peek at your tats at the back of your dress is seriously sexy, no wonder the metal head hit on you.
We're mortgage-free, clock twins now! Bugger Xmas, here's to financial freedom!
Love ya! Vix
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You've definitely still got it, you look gorgeous. I love the shoes, I had some like that but I sold them on eBay, I regret that now. You paid off your mortgage? What a fantastic feeling that must be. Have a great Christmas both of you. Xx
That gold frock is absolutely perfect for you! You would have knocked everyones socks off. Congratulations on paying off your mortgage! That clock is a gorgeous reward for it.
now that is what you call a clock!
you look gorgeous! I bloody love gold dresses and really want one. And gold shoes, I have none of those. You look stunning, love the headpiece. I bet you shone in that see of black. Big love! xxxx

Hey to paying off your mortgage. Dang that dress is beautiful and fits like a dream.
No wonder you got sordid man attention, you looked gorgeous!
Love the clock too, what a nice gift for the paid off house!
Forgot to say Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to you and G and your kitty cat!
That's one classy and gorgeous ensemble Helga, looking good!
Wishing you a very happy and well dressed Christmas!
Awesome Gorgeousness!! Congrats on paying off the house -- we'll finish ours this October, Can't Wait!
Your clock is Fabulous! We have a similar one over our fireplace; luckily we inherited a whack of MidMod from Fuzzy's parents (swank cats that they are) and I just love it... That style is very popular here in the states tho'; it usually costs a MINT!
Of COURSE you got hit on!! Helga's a Sexy Bint. ;^)
Such a wonderful thing to pay off your mortgage while still young - lovely!
Glimmer Glamour Glorious
You are shiny brite! Wow your dress is stunning.

I found mine in 2010. I have a pic of it, if you search my blog for (starburst clock) =D
*YAY* clock twins!
Hooray on being mortage free!!!
Of course you were hit on--I'm sure every man in the place was drolling over your fabulousness and secretly wondering how to get rid of the G-man so they could have you to themselves!
Oh, you have definitely GOT IT! That is such a cool dress and looks fabtastic on you. Congrats on paying off the mortgage. I have always wanted a clock like that, AWESOME!!
Ooh! Congratulations on both having no mortgage AND looking fabulous! Isn't that just a grand state of affairs xxx
What's better than being hit on?!? Perhaps the answer is being hit on in farking fantastic gold shoes and fabuloso outfit. Oh, I hope to be hit on by someone somewhere again soon. Happy Holidays to you and G., Helga!
I'm in LOVE with that shiny shiny pink bag!! Cute little fluffy brooch.
I can just picture you at a Metal bash looking so gorgeous in that ensemble. I do love that scrum of brooches too. And oh my I think I want to marry that clock of yours, I love it SO much. What a wonderful way to celebrate owning your own place. Love & kisses & wishing you both a Merry Christmas from Paul & I. Xx
Of course you were hit on!! I am surprised it was only the once you High priestess of Hotness!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely G man!!!

That dress!! That handbag! Jealous. Of course you've still got it! Funny you mentioned that, I guess I do too, caused a minor sensation in the subway on Friday -- pretty darn funny! I LOVE that clock! I have a small one, plastic without the "rays" but similar in style that stopped working -- not surprised, all electronic device go haywire on me, can't even wear a watch, boo! Gotta get two new clock mechanisms, one for that one, one for my cheesy 70s mushroom clock! Happy holidays darling! XXX
I love that clock! It goes so well with your orange walls (which I also love)! Merry Christmas to you, G, and the kitties!
Congrats on the mortgage pay off, you guys win! Very very cool! Cheers! Dam! Wow! We're trying. I love your gold dress and pink blingy clutch for the metal show. I love sticking out at them by wearing anything but black. That clock is a wonderful way to mark such a worthy occasion!
Xxoo
Swoon that brocade dress is fricking heavenly on you! Well done to you and G for paying off your mortgage, that is such a brilliant achievement! xxx

Love you more than TATTOOS! Sarah xxx
Oh, and I would KILL for that clock!!
I love your new clock. It is like a big sun.
Your outfit is lovely. I would love to have a pair of those shoes. And I started looking for dresses at etsy and I think I have another addiction. :)
xxxx
Congrats to you and G for paying it off! That is a spectacular celebratory clock. You look amazing - I love those shades, sparkly back, and the way that wonderful gold dress shows your back ink. Gorgeous!
