Well done Queenie for living so long. That's nice for you.
The kids' school had lots of jubilee-themed activities yesterday, including being allowed to go to school in fancy dress or wearing red, white and blue.
I so wanted to dress Seldom Seen Kid up as Freddie, complete with drawn-on moustache.
And I wish I had little ripped t-shirts with Jamie Reid's image on for them to wear.
But I don't inflict my republican sympathies on the kids, if they want to make crowns and Union Jack bunting, they are welcome to enjoy it all. Which they did. Littlest informed me, with great seriousness, that she had learnt that the Queen does not always wear a crown. Sometimes, she wears a hat. Now that's what I call an education!
I've got my own jubilee to celebrate. This is my 100th post!
Because I'm a sentimental sort of gal, I thought I should wear the dress I wore for my first ever blog post. Don't bother going back to look at it, it was a bit shit. I was very nervous, but so wanted to play with the cool girls!
What a difference 9 months makes. It's hard to explain how blogging, and developing relationships with women I've never met, can be so life-changing and confidence-building. I can only say that however the magic happens, I'm truly grateful that it does.
You ladies make me wanna twirl! Blurrily.
It's the dance photo equivalent of a slurred, pissed-up I love you. No, really, I do. You're my best friend. I really bloody love yoooouuuu. Before the room starts spinning and it's time to go to bed.
So on this, the occasion of my 100th post, I'd like to say thank you to all of you - those who've stuck with me from the start, and those who have joined along the way, and those who just pop in occasionally. Without you, I'd just be wittering on to myself. And it's much more fun wittering on to you!
Everyone should have their own jubilee!

" You wanted to play with the cool girls! " And now I see you as one of the cool girls.
I am sure everyone waits for you to post a new entry, like I do!
=D
Your Fun & have a great sense of humor. You have great style and are very au fait with faux furs!
PAH! I didn't even know what Au Fait was until a mere minute ago... I tried finding a good word for Knowlegable *eheeeh*
HAPPY 100 POSTS!
Happy hundredth post! You're one of the best, Curtise. So glad I found you. I wish I could dance the night away with you (after raiding your wardrobe).
Have a lovely weekend, jubilee or not!
Lots of love

Happy 100th post!! In my world you are one of the cool girls. Love the photos of Freddie and Sex Pistols, I have very (faint) fond memories of the silver jubilee when I still lived in UK. I love your blog, thank you for sharing all your cool outfits. Have a lovely weekend
Happy 100th Blogilee - you and your amazing red shoes, and all your other vintage finery, are fabulous!!! xx
Gorgeous dress :D
Happy 100th

Congratulations on 100 posts! Me thinks the "cool girls" wanna play with you too.
I can only imagine the hoopla, pomp and ceremony going on in England at present! I'm sure its driving the Republicans MAD.
Looking gorgeous as ever - enjoy!
Good for you! 100 posts!! They are even trying to do the whole Queens Jubilee thing here too - but I think on the whole people are pretty apathetic (except for Brits who have migrated here!). It's actually a long weekend here for Queens Birthday - thanks Queenie!
Hallelujah Hot Dam! 100% of my love back at ya Curtise! Your wit and wisdom is such a blessing and girl do you know how to wear a dress! Love you in this one and the shoes are oh so sweet with the little button on the side. I wanna twirl with ya and celebrate! I do think we enrich each other and I love this whole exchange!
Iammyownjubilee!
XOXOX

My first post looks so bad I actually deleted it. I was nervous too but when we keep doing this it does make the confidence grow, doesn't it? Either confidence or just an "I don't care" attitude. Both are great by me!
Love the spinning shots. I'm thrilled that you love me that much!! ;)
Love the outfit, espesh the red shoes. Congrats on your hot one hundred, and l lol to sending the kiddles to school as freddy and punks x
HAPPY 100TH POST, BEAUTIFUL FRIEND! :D I did in fact yell that, but only 'cause I'm that excited for you.
You are such a cool girl that you are beyond cool..you are completely fabulous. :D This dress is really, really lovely..perfect spin dress!
Here's to a ka-jillion more posts! I anxiously await each one. Thank you for your being you! XOXO
p.s. Dressing Seldom Seen Kid up as Freddie is an excellent idea. I believe a Most-Brilliant-Mom Award is in order..
p.p.s. I'm having a lot of trouble with Blogger today..grrr..
Thank you so much for celebrating your 100th post by wearing that beautiful frock again:))). I remember so well begging you to start a blog as you were and always have been one of the COOL girls - yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!!!! I too feel so disconnected from the Jubilee festivities - am I supposed to be excited? But your lovely lassie is a treasure to remind me that kids are flipping awesome with their hilarious insights to the things that really matter in life;)). Could you just give her a squeeze for me please? xxxxxxxxxx
Oh happy 100th my dear! Thank you for continuing to inspire me & for making me smile. You know I love your style. I need a few lessons from you on taking photos though....I still feel so self conscious in front of the camera. Enjoy the Jubilee hype! Xx
Yes, I would love a cherries jubilee - isn't that some concoction with cherries and alcohol? Hm. Happy 100th your gorgeous woman, you! You said it exactly how I felt - dorky but I wanted to play with the cool kids. Your twirling photos are a treat! Here in the colonies you can imagine how hyped we are about the jubilee - not. I wrote somewhere that I feel more common than wealth. Have a fabulous weekend. Mwah!
Oh PS - You are an amazingly witty, fun blogger and your comments everywhere are always so thoughtful and full of humour! You brighten our days.
LADY GARDEN!!!!

Happy 100th post!
I'm far more excited about that than any monarchist-related crap, I'm firmly in your camp, this house is a bunting-free zone and the only TV I'll be watching this weekend is Punk Brittania.
I love your twirly pictures and you are such a cool girl, it feels like you've been blogging for years. That dress is superb.
Love & safety pins xxxxxxxxx
Congrats gorgeous and i love you too!

Oh Curtise, I'm so glad to have met you. Your wit, charm, style and generous kind heart are always a pleasure.
Plus, this killed me:
"Well done Queenie for living so long. That's nice for you."
That's so YOU! Lurv it.
I'm completely behind on leaving comments but have to say how much I love that you are a blogger now. I really look forward to your posts, you never fail to make me smile, often make me chuckle out loud and occasionally guffaw and quite often leave me thinking, which can be a strange sensation for me!
Plus, sometimes wears a hat? Who knew?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Just so you know... as soon as I have an internet connection that will actually LOAD PHOTOS and not just text (gggrrrrr) I will come back and comment on your outfit, which I have no duobt is frickin SPLENDID.
CONGRATS on your 100th post... I have loved every single one and I look forward to the next 1,000! It has been such a pleasure getting to know you, Curtise. You are teh cool girl!
Love! Sarah xxx
I agree, everyone SHOULD have their own jubilee, preferably every day if possible. Congrats on your 100th!!! As one who pops in occasionally (time is always an issue in my life!!), I'm always glad when I do. I love this dress, today and yesterday. And again, congratulations.
Oh now that I can see how GORGEOUS you are, I love this post even more!!! The frock is PERFECT on you - and I LOVE THOSE SHOES! Happy jubilee to you, gorgeous blogging woman, and thank you! Love you more than royalty! Sarah xxx
Happy Jubilee to you! I love this frock, and it looks absolutely fabulous on you. Blogging really does have a kind of magic about it, doesn't it? I think it has to do with awesome bloggers, like you. :)
Happy 100th post jubilee! Quite an accomplishment- and I agree with you- who knew that putting oneself out there would link you up with so many soul sisters across the planet? But it does, and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you for posting that first time, and keeping at it. Because of that I get a twirl of you too!
Congratulations on your 100th post and you definitely deserve your own Jubilee! That dress is adorable, and is perfect for twirling. I just did my 600th post the other day, and it felt kinda cool to think of how far my blog has come since its early days. Here's to lots more sharing of frocks, rants, stories and general silliness!
Oh my GAWD - 100 posts have whizzed by! Congratulations!! (and you don't look a day older)
You are indeed one of the cool girls, and I am happy to be in your gang xx
Congrats on your 100th post amor!
Oh my goodness I love your Jubilee frock amor.
You will always will be one of my cool and the gang girls.
