I'm in the Miss Picture Perfect Final!

I am a finalist in Miss Picture Perfect next month! I think it's safe to tell you now.

This means I have been creating again!! I've made some super pretty hair flowers to go with my outfits and I'm really happy with the way they turned out!




I have another couple of projects to go for this pageant, but I can't let you see too much before the night! You'll have to come along to the Miss Picture Perfect pinup pageant at Ryan's Hotel in Thirroul on September Saturday 26 to see the full outfits.
I'm excited to be a part of MPP as I already know a few of the other lovely entrants as they were also in Miss Pinup Australia this year!

I'm almost all set, only a couple of things to finish making and waiting on the mail man to bring me something I'm VERY excited about and then I just have to try everything on and pack it once I'm happy with it!

Also coming up in my own home town soon is the Bonnie and Clyde Rods Rats and Rides event. There is no pinup comp but I'm super excited that I finally have an event to go to that doesn't involve a lot of travel and several days stay in a hotel!

Turns out the photo shoot I had booked for this month was a no go but I won't let that stop me! My main goal for the rest of this year is to finally be published. Which is what I wanted from this shoot but alas, life doesn't always work out the way you want it too!

How did ya'll like my first You Tube video? I will hopefully get to make another one in the next couple of days. I know the first one is fairly poor quality but that's because it was too big (or something, I don't get any of it haha!) but I will try remedy that as I go.

Don't forget to subscribe to my channel so you won't miss any of the craziness that is me!

I hope you know I really appreciate anyone who actually takes the time to read this blog and follow me on Facebook, Instagram etc. It's a whole new world for me and you're all along for the ride!

On that note,

Much love and red lipstick, Miss Toxic xx

Who's on You Tube? Me! I'm on You Tube!

I have started my very own YouTube channel!! I would like to invite you all to visit my channel and subscribe!!

Feel free to share my videos and comment your thoughts, ideas and requests. Follow this link to my YouTube channel to see what's new in the world of Miss Toxic Starburst as well as continuing to follow this blog of course!



I hope to post videos that are for the people out there that like to watch hauls, unboxings, follow me arounds, FAQ and lighthearted, easy watching videos. I won't be doing tutorials as I am not a professional at anything haha!

Don't worry, the videos will be improving as I go. I'm learning so each one should get better and better. For now, go and enjoy watching me be nervous and clueless and don't laugh too hard!

On the topic of You Tube, I would like to share with you the main pinup / rockabilly gals I subscribe to and watch religiously.

Cherry Dollface
Kandy K
A Vintage Vanity
PinupDollAshleyMarie and
Vintagious

Now, I do watch many others but the videos these dolls make are ones I am watching more than once and going back to for references on hair mostly but also makeup, clothing etc. I have actually followed tutorials from each of these channels and they are helping to mould me into the pinup I want to be.

Finally, before I leave you today, I wanted to leave you with a clip from our beautiful Miss Pixie's appearance on Australia's Today show this morning! So excited to see her do her thing on TV!!







Enjoy my lovelies!!

Much love and red lipstick, Miss Toxic xx

Greazefest 2015

What a fun weekend!!

I was lucky enough to go to Greazefest, Melbourne this past weekend.

I met some awesome people, bought all the things,



...drooled over some ahhhhmazing cars



Could probably work on my posing with cars!










and listened to some very cool music. There was Pinups on Parade where the beauties strut their stuff on stage



...and I even convinced my little sister to have her hair styled by the always gorgeous Pinup Ruby Rabbit and have a mini photo shoot by Retrobilia!! I can't wait to see the pictures!

Bask in the glory of those victory rolls!!



Meeting Cherry Dollface and getting a tattoo by Mimsy, the two main things I wanted out of the weekend, unfortunately didn't happen but I still had an absolute blast and there's always next year!!

I did still get a new tattoo though from the rad dudes at East Brunswick tattoo!

My pretty flamingo!



I finally got to meet Miss Rouge Kitty, Miss Diamond Divine and Miss Von Luxx

Miss Diamond Divine

Miss Rouge Kitty



We had burgers and cupcakes from Kustom Burgers, a super awesome burger joint with a really cute rockabilly vibe

This? Oh, it's just a cupcake that looks like a burger!!


The F150 burger!

The whole weekend was amazing from start to finish and I already can't wait for next year's Greazefest.

I have a couple of things in the works at the moment that I can hopefully tell you all about soon but for now, my lips are sealed!

So now I have bombarded you with all the fun, it's time to go!

Until next time,

much love and red lipstick, Miss Toxic xx
