"A cock, in a frock, on a rock"


Think that just about sums up Priscilla, although it doesn't mention the dancing cc's and paintbrushes (in the musical, not the film) which are main features! Surprised the sis with a trip to London to see the show, accompanied by two of her friends which she didn't know about. Cue sreaming, squealing and general confusion. A fantastic day! Priscilla is all about the glitz and glam which, surprisingly, isn't difficult for me to do! ha ha ha:

"I can hear the bells . . . ."


The other Ansari is back home now (aka my sister Sophia) after the ma and me drove to Norwich to pick her up (and all her dirty washing!) and bring her home for the Easter hols, accompanied by lots of showtunes: Priscilla, Hairspray and 10CC to mix it up! We had another trip to Wagas (no 72 Yasai Katsu Curry please) and I got some shoes for my upcoming holiday: retro Nike trainers and woven flower print flats. Been saving my new face print top all week and today it was worn:

I am liking the fact that most Saturday nights are spent out and about. Means I have more outfit posts and the socialising is nice too. Went for the monocrome look this week:

"No actual Maltesers were hurt during the making of this bunny"


Just finished nibbling on a Malteser easter bunny, yum yum yum! Now got to stir myself to get ready to go out. Been a real life Cinderella today so time to go to the ball (well friend's house then town) and meet my Prince Charming (as if!) although I have started life better dressed:

"Jai ho: Part 3"


Big props to my superstar friend Richard who has become the first guy to join the dance troop for the show! He did a sterling performance for his first rehearsal! Another fun Friday night dancing my socks off and looking like a sweaty betty. Here I am giving you a sneak preview of some of the moves:

"Le geek c'est chic"

A mix between old style glamour and geek chic today while trying out my new spring trousers. Worn a bit prematurely as it did rain this afternoon but it was still warm. I'm excited to have found some that fit my womanly curves properly:

"Hello officer "


No arrest for me tonight, instead I was meeting some of the local bobbys at the launch of the Human Rights and Equalities Charnwood hate crime project headed up by the ma and her sidekick Justin. In true Nadia style I ended up acting as unofficial event organiser and moved furniture to set up displays and generally helped out. Fun but tiring. Thought that I should aim to dress more conservatively as the event was for networking and serious business:
