Hello October! Here we have the 1966 issue of Rave featuring John (Maus) Walker, it may not be my darling <a href="http://smashingbird.blogspot.com/search/label/scott%20walker">Scott</a>, but it's a Walker at least and in fur nonetheless!</div>

So better late than never as they say here is the September issue of swinging 60's mod mag Rave, this one is from 1969, and of course you all know that is Mr Jagger gracing the cover. By this year the format of the magazine had changed slightly, for one it is larger in size and also a lot less teeny boppy. The issues covered seem more serious and grown up, covering such themes as religion and conform schools. Unfortunately for me there is a lot less fashion featured, but it does focus on some more obscure bands & musicians.</div>

So here are the Zip Girls, don't even try and ask me what a Zip Girl is, it seems like they were really trying to make the phrase "happen"! This feature showcases four up & coming models & actresses, including the late wife of Ian MacLagan who was married to Keith Moon at this time.</div>

Hello my lovely blogger friends, I am back after a little break away. I have been bunnysitting with a pal of mine. We were looking after a giant house rabbit. Freaky isn't even the word for it! Apart from bunny fun I got my first paycheck from my new job last week and immediately ordered a new dress from the divine <a href="http://emmapeelpants.blogspot.com/">Miss Liz</a> @ <a href="http://www.vintage-a-peel.co.uk/">Vintage-a-Peel</a>. This Vivien Smith 70's number has been top of my wishlist for a while and I was worried that it would be too small, but thankfully it fits like a glove and is soooo gorgeous. Luckily it turned up friday afternoon along with a very cool & sweet card, just in time for me to wear out friday night!</div>

Aaaah hello Friday my only day off this week. Not much excitement for me over the last few days, but I'm making the most of today. Long overdue haircut this morning, followed by my afternoon bootfair (not a sausage) and a lovely stroll along the windy beach this afternoon with Barney dog. This evening I may be partaking in a few glasses of vino with some lovely ladies.....</div>

Oh yes and do you spy the most awesome of pendants? You may have seen this on the divine <a href="http://vintagevixon.blogspot.com/2011/08/frock-horror.html">Vix's blog last friday</a>... Vix had commented on a post of mine admiring some vintage curlers I'd picked up & when I saw this owl magnifying glass pendant on hers I cheekily suggested a swap which to my delight she agreed to! I mean have you seen how short my hair is? Rollers, really? I was thrilled to find a parcel waiting for me the other day along with a super cool & sweet card. Love you Vix!</div>

After finally starting my new job this week I think it's going to take me a bit to get into a routine so do expect sporadic posting & commenting from me over the next few weeks!

Always Crashing in the Same Car - David Bowie, Low (1977)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been all about Low for me this week, being one of Bowie's most critically acclaimed albums it actually isn't really something I've listened to much in the past, but now I'm really beginning to love it.</div>

As I mentioned <a href="http://smashingbird.blogspot.com/2011/08/frock-on-friday.html">Friday</a>, that evening I had been invited by my new pal Sausages for a Valley of the Dolls / Beyond the Valley of the Dolls screening fest, and of course I was determined to dress appropriately. After a Deathly Dry Gin Martini, delicious din dins and some more liquid refreshment, we have decided that Valley of the Dolls is actually pretty boring apart from Sharon Tate's jumpsuit and the legendary Helen Lawson. <a href="http://smashingbird.blogspot.com/2009/05/beyond-valley-of-dolls.html">Y'all know how I feel about the second film.</a> The best part of the whole night is that I <i><b>didn't</b> </i>have a hangover today - wooop!</div>

Oh yes my hair - it's all natural! It's actually an original 60's real hairpiece that a friend of mine kindly donated to me some years ago, I dyed it to match my natural colour. I love wearing it although I don't get it out that often cos it's a lot of hassle and wigs are hot! (In both senses ; p)</div>

Oh you lucky lucky people I'm really spoiling you, this is probably the best Rave cover ever & one of the best issues. Of course we have the fantabulous Steve Marriott & Ronnie Lane of The Small Faces on the front...<br />

Stone The Crows - Friend (Ode to John Law, 1970) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Another bootfair gem I got recently was the album Ode to John Law by scottish band Stone The Crows. I have to admit to being rather ignorant of this band having only seen a clip of them on an Old Grey Whistle Test rerun. But I liked what I heard and when I saw this LP of course I couldn't pass it up! I love that this you tube clip has a good crackle to it, there's nothing like listening to vinyl is there?!</div>

In my mums attic there are bin bags full of clippings & various memorabilia from her teenage years dedicated to Bowie & Marc Bolan. I have been slowly trying to organise it all and scan a few bits in to share. This little gem from 1974 is just too funny. This memo pad must have been my mums new favourite thing. My Aunty Susan was not blessed with such good taste in music and as you can see below like any teenage sisters they obviously liked to play pranks on each other! </div>

I know I know it's now sunday and the Frock on Friday rules are that you should wear a fab frock all day each friday, but I just had to share my outfit from the evening. I was very pleased to have <a href="http://snowystylista.blogspot.com/">big sis</a> back from her latest adventure in Italy and we all went out for a meal & drinkies. So yesterday I wasn't really in any fit state for doing anything so apologies for my lateness!</div>

Wearing 70's Jon Adam dress (borrowed temporarily from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SmashingbirdVintage">Smashingbird Vintage</a>, as when I bought it originally it didn't fit, it does now so if you want it move quick because I'm seriously tempted to keep it permanently!) and my lovely new shoes from New Look of all places, just £29.99 and also available in black or petrol blue - online or in larger stores only. I <3 them.</div>

Otis Redding - Satisfaction</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Otis Blue, 1965)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was lucky enough to score a nice mono copy of this LP at a bootfair last week for just £1 and of course it's been on my little Pye International turntable ever since! This video is from the Stax Europe tour of 1966 and has got to be in my top 5 concerts I would have loved to have been at. Otis followed an amazing & classically energetic set by Sam & Dave and sent the crowd into a frenzy! If you ever get a chance to watch the whole film, please do - you won't regret it!</div>

After a little absence please welcome back to my regular Etsy picks feature. Although the summer has decided to take a little unscheduled break, I'm still on the hunt for the perfect sandal. As seen in previous posts <a href="http://smashingbird.blogspot.com/2010/05/hello-lover-shoe-award.html">here</a> & <a href="http://smashingbird.blogspot.com/2011/07/frock-on-friday.html">here </a>my little gold jewelled 60's ones have been my favourites and lasted me for the last 6 years or so! So I think it may be time for a new pair? Anyhoo here are my selection of the best low heeled 60's sandals available now on Etsy...</div>

On Saturday I attended a lovely little wedding in Canterbury. Bizarrely I do not know either the bride or groom but there was a spare invite & well any excuse to dress up is alright with me! I bought this 70's maxi in a charity shop last week for £8. I've been looking for a maxi for ages but haven't found one I liked. This is soo pretty - it's made of navy cotton wit a floral print in pale blue, tan & brown. Fits like a dream, although I had to chop a good few inches off the hem....<br />

Worn with a vintage pendant found in another charity shop for £1.50. The shoes are my Miss L Fire Platforms, I had been planning to wear some rather delicious new tan suede heels I got from New Look the other day, but alas it absolutely poured down and I rather sensibly decided against them - no doubt they'll get an outing very soon! </div>

I felt terrible for the bride as the weather was soo grotty - but she looked absolutely adorable in a cream chiffon mini shift, which I think was a particularly lucky choice. Imagine if it had been long - the poor gal would have had a soggy hem just like me!<br />

Unfortunately we couldn't attend the evening do as I had to work, since leaving my last job I have done a few bits here and there and most recently have been working at a bar. I pull a smashing pint ; ). But Sat was my last night there as this week I start work at a well known supermarket, a job which I applied for 4 months ago. I just received the uniform today, and oh my goodness tis not nice. They have sent me size large. Does. Not. Fit. The upside is that I get a name badge (haha). Oh well means more money to spend on lovely vintage...</div>

Montague Terrace (in blue) - Scott Walker (Scott, 1967)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another lovely tune by Mr Walker.... practically all I have been listening to this week is Scott 3, but I do love this track from his first solo album Scott. Like most of his tracks the strings are really haunting & along with his stunning vocals this track is really dreamy - I hope you like it too!</div>

Welcome to another edition of Frock on a Friday! Today I'm wearing a 70's cotton halter dress with deco-ish print & buttons by Susie G (it does have a matching velvet trimmed cape...), my shoes are my trusty 60's gold jewelled sandals. </div>

I don't know what is up with me this week, I'm sorry I haven't updated or visited hardly any blogs - do bear with me I will be popping by soon! Hope you all have a super weekend, I'm off to a wedding tomorrow and they have predicted rain and I was planning on suede shoes - eek!</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">On A Saturday - Keith West<br />
(1968, Parlophone 45)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps best known for Excerpt from a Teenage Opera (aka Grocer Jack), Keith West was quite the songsmith in the late 60's. He begun his musical journey in a band called the In Crowd before joining the acclaimed psychedelic group Tomorrow alongside Steve Howe of Yes. I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of Tomorrow, but their remastered album "<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tomorrow/dp/B00000IBDY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309953913&sr=8-1">Tomorrow"</a> features a selection of Keith's tunes which it is worth the buying just for those! Eagle eyed viewers (or geeks like myself) will also have spotted this band in the Pie Shop scene in "Smashing Time". A brilliant best of album "<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Excerpts-Groups-Sessions-1965-1974-Keith/dp/B00000AYYC/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1309954080&sr=1-1">Excerpts from Groups & Sessions</a>" is also available.</div>Smashingbirdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04227963485987985068noreply@blogger.com9
