I attended the Newcastle workshop which was run by Miss Chrissy and Miss Sammy at MisKonduct Clothing recently, but had to leave early to drive to Sydney for a work dinner and awards night.
Firstly, I’d like to say that I absolutely loved your workshop! I had wanted to do it for such a long time! I love the vintage hair styles that I learnt, and will practice pin curls and hot roller sets until I master them. In fact, I think the vintage styles suit me better than modern ones! I wish I could have stayed until the end. However, leaving early did result in a little bit of good news. I left early to attend the NSW Young Lawyers Gala Dinner, where their annual Patron Awards are given out. I was nominated for an award, but originally wasn’t going to attend as I wanted to go to your workshop and then an engagement party afterwards. However, I was encouraged by the organisers to attend, as it turns out that I was the winner of the NSW Young Lawyer of the Year award! It was lucky indeed that you had taught me to do my vintage makeup that day, and had kindly done my hair for me before I left, as I had to go up on stage to accept. And as I was wearing a navy vintage reproduction dress bought that day as well, I received so many compliments that night! You were right – when you dress vintage, you do get attention that you otherwise wouldn’t get! Both from men and women as well!
Thank you so much for your wonderful workshop and for being so understanding about me leaving early, and thank you again for helping me by doing my hair for me before I left. Your handiwork was much admired! I love vintage, and I love that you are spreading your love of vintage, and your positive affirmations of women of all types.
