THE BIG MAMA INTROSPECTION

The monday ugly post

2012-02-13T10:23:00.000+01:00

Ok it was expensive but i couldn't resist beyond an ugly midcentury ceramic. Ugly ceramics are my guilty pleasure.
This one was so shinny and in perfect condition, that i couldn't let it alone on the flea market.

I love the weirdo shape

Cool, it's signed.

I've found two nice atomic fabrics. Again a little bit expensive but i couldn't let it curled in a ball in the back of a truck. They awesome fabrics need to be saved from the dust and dirt.

They are single bed covers, but i could made curtains and pillows with it.

The ugly hematoms made with my new skateboard :))

but absolutely not painfull, just very ugly on a woman leg.

Have a nice week.

Kisses.

This week i had annonced to the real estate agency that i will quite my actual flat. I've got 3 months to find the perfect place where i could put music louder, dance the tango and the bop when i want without disturbed my neighbourhood.
My dream : listen the louder is possible the Neurosis LP "Times of Grace". Scream is good for health ha ha ha.

I miss summer

2012-02-10T18:28:00.000+01:00

I'm so so so so so desperate with this awfull cold weather. I miss burn my ass on the beach, i miss salted water, i miss ice cream, i miss night longskate run, i miss beach life with my friends, i miss hawaiian dresses and flower hairclips, I miss pink wine, i even miss the awfull sensation of burning skin by the sun.....

Pfewww fortunately, it's friday and i will spent the whole week-end under 3 covers watching nerdy tv reports. Winter sucks

This sunburn was so painfull but i prefer that than cold !!!

Have a great week-end all.

Kisses.

Ollie.

Last night with my friend

2012-02-08T20:15:00.001+01:00

Before he will quite after the snow and before the rain. 1000 kilometers on a motorcycle with bad weather conditions.

Good luck my friend.

Kiss.

Olivia.

Here 's my plan

2012-02-08T15:16:00.000+01:00

It's very simple.

I don't pass my motorcycle licence and buy an Harley to don't have these results. It will be long but i will be patient :)

My bike won't be rad, won't be the most beautifull but it's how i dream it.
I'm a poor french secretary who will never afford a 70's shovel. So, it will be a simple bike but i don't want more, but i don't want less ;)

But it will be the perfect equation between ME + LIBERTY + FUN

Bye Bye my Darlings,

A cool week-end

2012-02-07T09:38:00.001+01:00

My friend Sylvain from the atlantic coast came in Sète to stop by and said hello during his holidays. He is stocked here for a copple of days more, because he couldn't go back to his home by the snowy roads.

But, we are quiet lucky because i had take a day off friday to visit my new yorkers friends who were in the area during the week-end, i meet tons of friends, we discover a swap meet in my new place, we spend lot of time in the garage with goofy friends, so it's not bad. My friend Sylvain is really happy to spent more time with me and meet all my goofy friends.
Sylvain lived in a area where there is few people to share mecanic passions. So he 's really happy to be here.

He rides a Street Triple Triumph, so even if the weather was near -9°celsius / 15°Farenheit. We decided to brave the weather !! Oh my God !!! Now i'm ready to trought in the trash can all my biker helmets and buy a full helmet !! A real one with a vissor !!!! I was so frozen that i could take off from the bike after 30 miles ha ha ha !!! Awfull !!!! BTW my new Carhartt jacket pass the test but all my other body parts outside the jacket was completely frozen.

During the swap meet, i see 2 glorious XT 500. My dream for my old days in countryside !!!

Not in good condition, but i love so much this shape. The tank is awesome too.

Smart !!!

"ça c'est de la meule !!!" As we said in french

I love the Marco's sweat

and Marco loves my translucent glasses

My friend Sylvain and his Trumpet. Poor Sylvain !!

Why i told him that South of France was so warm ???! I still don't know how he could make 600 miles

by a so cold weather to go back home !!!!

i like the 2 headlights

I've found nothing in the swap meet. I wish i could found an old 70's oblong headlight

but not this time.

A stop in my fav pub was necessary : La Distillerie !!!

I see my old crazy friends from NYC.

Regine and Mary.

Mary still don't comprehend why all the housecleaning maids refused to come back twice in her house ???

Mary lived in a little village where all the population think she's a witch ha ha ha !!!

this voodoo doll loves Chanel N°5.

Bye bye my honeys.

Olivia.

Sportster is beautifull ....

2012-02-06T17:42:00.000+01:00

....... But not yet !!!

Ha ha ha !!! Because excepted the fork and the engine i will take off everything.
It will take time but slowly i think i could do something not really bad with my 883 :)

Before and 1 hour after

Still not terrific. I'm so sad to let my bike like this several months, without a cool tank,

cool handlebar etc ... Poor little bike !!!

Big Mama must found a solution to make more money or continue to sell her personnal stuff to make true her old dream :)

The goofy team is in da garage.

Who lets open the door to a girl ???? Hey Men !!! This is the beginning of the end !!!

Sorry the vid is in french.

By the way, i ride a bike like i ride a skateboard, very badly ha ha ha !!! I've got the little name of "Master on the floor" given by my friends, that explain a lot !!! So wish me good luck on the road ;)

Kisses.

Olivia.

Insects from Laos

2012-02-01T17:02:00.000+01:00

Hello everybody,

In 2012 i will try everything and stop bias.

Today Arthur, a work collegue, has brung some insects from his last trip in Laos.
These kind of food is really appreciate in Asia but for occidental people it's really unappetizing.

The white one was easy to eat because it tastes as a potato cracker

but the brown one ! Wow !!! It was difficult before i could eat the half of one. It takes me 5 minutes of strong self persuasion. The taste was very strong + the creamy body oooooooohhhhhh !!!!!

Unfortunately, the video was cut before i eat the brown.

A little bit hard for me, but probably a question of habits.

Is there someone in the room who used to eat insects ?

Kisses.

Ollie.

Check at 0'26" it's alive ha ha ha !!!!!!

2012-01-29T16:37:00.002+01:00

I hesite a lot between a Volcom Gal coat and a Carhartt Europe men jacket. Be feminine or get warm ???? The choice was quick.
Warm ha ha ha !!!!!

Tada tada tada !!!!

2012-01-25T20:07:00.002+01:00

Hello,
Today i received my new purchase from "74's forever".
I was so anxious that it will be too large as the first pinwheel t-shirt i had buy in september, because it's clothing for men. But i couldn't resist beyond a so cool design.
But today, it fits perfectly except large under arms for tought men with muscles, not really my case.
So i'm very happy :)
You should do the same and support this artist.
Love,
Ollie.

Epiphany pudding

2012-01-20T12:09:00.000+01:00

A nerdy post, because good work must be salute :

We've got a copple of cool traditions here in France. To fest the Epiphany, we used to prepare 2 sorts of cakes :

- the first one is a bun with candied fruits called "Kingdom" or "Royaume" in french.

- the second is a puff pastry with frangipani stuff (made with allmonds, eggs, butter and sugar)

Most of these cakes aren't terrific and made with industrial flour, because the profits rules killed the french gastronomy since 20 years.

But, sometimes real pastry artisans don't give up the fight against ugly food. Here the most amazing "Kingdom" i have ever eat of my life : Magnificent !!!

Bye Bye.

Olivia.

RIP Gustav Leonhardt

2012-01-18T12:18:00.002+01:00

Sad news for the Baroque and early music scene : Mr. Gustav Leonhardt has quite us monday 16th january. He was one the most famous harpsychordist and organist. He dedicated all his life to music with tenacity and strictness.

My english is too poor to explain his biography but you could learn more about him in the NY Times article : Here

This Bach French Suite really makes me go high.

Hello my Chouchous,

I really had fun with my new smartphone and camera app, here a copple of pics i made yesterday at the beach. Sorry it's about only me and the sea. I've nothing else to shoot :)

I'm really happy of my Galaxy Note.

Not bad for a phone camera, isn't it ?

BTW, since i grow my bang, my hair naturaly takes a 70's flair. Not a problem i love the 70's

I only looks like my mum in the 70's, weirdo !!!

But the most funny is : I try to make a classic 50's hairstyle attempt for saturday night. It completely fail and it turns as a 70's Charlie Angels haircut. Not bad at all i like it but it really makes me smile.

As my 70's hippy nazi nature come back naturally ha ha ha

So weirdo, have a look :

Weirdo, my iron curler is possessed by the Farrah Fawcet hairstyle ha ha ha !!!

Have a good week my Dahlings.

Plumber's work is never done

2012-01-13T12:58:00.004+01:00

I guess that my old blog followers are surely impatient to see what i have done concerning my new place and decoration :)))

I'm really sorry Guys but i do nothing. And when i said nothing, it's NOTHING !!! Ha ha ha

I just open cardboards and push furnitures against walls.

I won't stay in this noisy flat where it's impossible to sleep or listen music +

I'm so desperate with my warm system !!!

Each time, i open the warm water, my warm system makes strange noïses as it will gonna explosed.

TADA : Pics of the shame and plumbing troubles !!!

BTW, i love the ugly 70's floor.

Tonight, i'm expecting to see a 70's gig in my new area's pub, but before fun i must found a solution to warm as i want. Let's me explain : When i want to warm my bathroom i must warm all the flat.

May be i have found an easy solution : May be if i turn this thing (pic below) i could let the warm flow goes in the other rooms, may be i said ha ha ha !!!

Wish me good luck !

My humble collection : few but good :)

I've done something i do only 2 times by decades : buy modern furnitures.

But i'm not deceiving, these furnitures are perfect for LP's.

The holy of the Holies : The Big Mama bedroom.

If walls could speak ....... hum, hey !! Wait a minute ..... Walls have absolutely nothing to tell pwuah wah ha ha ha !!!

Yeah the Holy Bible and a swastie belt ! Old mystic Pagan who turns Christian always make a weirdo mixt ha ha ha !!!!! But Jesus loves Big Mama that the only thing i learn on this poor dawn earth but still not a reason to lost my time in a church with other weirdos Christians ha ha ha !!!

I'm fell more comfy escaped in the nature and free.

At 400 yards from my door's home

Gorgeous isn't it ?

At only 8 minutes by walk from my home ! Glorious !!!

That's all !!!

Yesterday, I received my last 4Q Conditioning purchase.
I have just the time to post pic on my facebook, that i received a phone call from my devastated nerd :

"Olivia (35 years old) !!! Why did you received the T shirt before me ?"

"Well i guess Marco (almost 30 years old), if i received it before you, it's just because i had purchased one week before you, seems legit, no ?"

"Olivia, i'm sure i will NEVER received it !!!! (I almost listen tears in his eyes)

"No ! Don't worry Marco ! I'm sure you will received it ...................(15 minutes after of blah blah) .........stop worried you will got it, i'm sure !!!! "

In my opinion there's no difference between kids and adults men, only the price of their toys pfewwwww Ha ha ha !!!!
I love my friends, they stay immature and goofy as me ha ha ha !!!

The small T-shirt is a little bit too large for me, but it's pretty cool design. But what i prefer is the holographic 4Q sticker !!! So nice and would be so cool on a chrome horse shoes oil tank.

Love,

Olivia.

2012-01-09T21:22:00.001+01:00

In december, i've found a cool place on the beach : The beach hut. Kind of place that Big Mama likes.
It wasn't completely finish and it seems the builder brings more things each day.

Last week.

Yesterday, i bring my friends to the hut. We take a little nap after a good meal in my fav new restaurant.

I really enjoy the sun and my beachnik life.

Weirdo, builders let's there vodka in evidence !!! We only take profit of the seats.

Hello all,

Sorry to be a bad blogger but i was particulary busy with my moving house and tons of unlucky events.

Unfortunately, my poor broken back didn't appreciate this moving house. I was very sick again. It was again very painfull and medecine i took, turns me to tears every 5 minutes. Ha ha ha it's just awfull Guys !!! This medecine turns me as a depressive Woodstockabilly.

Me !!! The crazy laughting chick, i turn as a poor desperate girl who cry for nothing each 5 minutes. It's so embarasting.

A work colleague came with her new baby to show him to the work team. When the baby look at me in the eyes i was moving to tears and i must found an excuse to escape to the bathroom: "Oooops sorry i've got a dust in the eye". IT'S SO NOT ME !!!! Awfull !!! Ha ha ha !!!

Hope this bad effects will disapears soon because it's so embarasting but in the other way, it works well against my physical pain :/

By the way, every week-end i take advantage of the sea and the sun. I spent all my free time on the beach. Even if my new flat is really noisy and i must found a new place soon. I didn''t regret to escape from Montpellier. Sète is such a beautifull place and i'm so happy to lived there now. One of the best choice i do these last years :)

It's not the best pic ever, but it really sum up my life :

The beachnik Gal has found her place :)

Kisses my Darlings.

Olivia Banana supports Glitter Paradise

2012-01-04T16:12:00.000+01:00

Hello all,

2012 didn't start well for everybody. For those who follows my blog since the start, you will probably knows who are my friend Charlotte from Glitter Paradise. She built an handmade jewelery company since 4 years. She dedicated all his life for his lil company. Working 15 hours a day on it !!!

When Charlotte lived in London during the 90's. She met a girl from France as her, and they both became friends.

5 months ago, the french girl found again Charlotte via Facebook and they both explain how was their respective life since London.

Oh my ! Charlotte accepting the FB add, open the door to the devil. This girl makes copy of all the Charlotte's creation since september 2011. And refused to stop.

It's completely crazy !!! Inspiration is ok but this is an awfull plagiarism.
There is tons of girls involved in handmade jewelery creation, ok most of the time you will find the same cherries earrings, corsets, zombie legs, rose hairclip with mexican skull etc ..... but inspiration could be elevate by own personality and creativity.

I let you see the pillage !!! o.O !!!
What kills me the most is the fact, that this girl takes the same annoncement for his jewellery collection aas Charlotte put on his website since years. The girl didn't copy only jewels, but she copy the whole concept, the same annoncements. It's really really sad from someone she knows since 14 years.

And don't comprehend why a girl who wants to became a jewel designer choose to do the same things made by somebody else ???? Weirdo !!

Ok this is not a big deal but it's sad and my friend Charlotte was really upset with this story. Frenchs sometimes could be real pain in the ass for the other :/

I let you own judge :/

This last one gonna kills Barbie, please said nothing for a while !!!

Kisses.

Olivia.

My first attempt on a rigid

2012-01-02T14:04:00.001+01:00

During holidays, I've a rendez-vous to try a 883 Sportster. The Sportster seller, i had contact by internet annoncement, was a friend of Marco. So they both came to the rendez-vous. Marco with his rigid and the seller with the 883.

I will probably buy this Sportster because it will be ok for a girl motorcycle project. Ok it's very ugly but i will slowly change everything on it.

BTW, even the fact to have found my future bike, i was really happy because Marco asks me if i want to try his bike. Oh my ! i dream about it since Mathusalem !!! I can't believe my ears. Me the crazy chick !!! A guy accept to borrow his bike !!! Woo hoo !!!

My try wasn't very glorious on the parking because it wasn't easy to manage with the weirdo accelerator, try to pass the 2nd speed, and guys look at me in same time. I will feel more confident alone and if it was my personnal bike.
The lack of front brake was just a detail, in comparaison with the weirdo accelerator.
But i'm so happy even if i was really ridiculous and loose my pants on the slippy seat ha ha ha !!!! Try the Marco's bike is a dream come true.

The pic is smarter than the video where i loose my pants !!!

I hope bank will be ok because 3 months ago i was under zero, now it's ok but who knows !!! The price of the 883 is really attracted and the engine is in perfect condition. I do'nt expected to ask to the bank some money but my move house kills me and i could save as i want.
I will have a response soon so i must wait now :)

I'm so fan of the Marco's bike.

Simple but perfect for a modern engine.

Kisses.

Olivia.

The shame video where i found hardly the 2nd speed but lost my pants ah ah ha :

Pfffffewwww

2011-12-21T16:01:00.000+01:00

Still not warm water and heating in home !!!! I still manage the thing with ingenuity, tea boiler, washing bowl and patience.

I hate plumbers !!! Ha ha ha !!!

Save by a boiler

2011-12-20T13:30:00.004+01:00

Hello my dears :)

What an adventure to be a Big Mama !!!
Pfeeewwww !!! What an hell !!!! I've got electricity and gas in my new home but my heaters leak water !! After paint my old flat after work, i really think i could take a warm bath in my Sète's new home. But, i spent my evening with washbowl, collecting heaters leak water !!!

My friends Tom call me in the middle of the evening and propose his help to stop leak water. I was so worried that i have accept. I hate accept help from men because most of them i've other idea of "help".

Oh my !!! While i'm waiting him, i found a solution to stop the leak water. I still don't have hot water but i really think it was a bad idea to accept his help. I really prefer take cold shower than support his sexual propositions.

He's a very cool guy, interesting during the day, we have tons of things to share about travels, surf shape, life, etc.... I have an affair with him in 2010 and we stay in good terms and friendly.
Tom is such a cool guy, excepted after few drinks, he always turns as Bukowski. He could turns as an awfull pervert who try to fuck the first thing who looks like a woman !!! So weirdo !!! Ha ha ha !!!

In 2010, we had a party, he was so drunk that i've pulled him till his bed (Oh my ! So heavy !) He fall assleep and starts to speak while he slept : It was so funny ! I didn't laught like that since a long time !!!

Here what he said with the exorcist young girl's voice : " You ! Biblic Slut ! Stop to pray for me !!!!"

I always think that Thomas was possesed by a lil demon. Now, i'm almost sure ha ha ha !!! I still don't know how he knows that i pray for him ?????

BTW yesterday, i'm waiting for his help during 2 hours but i was so happy when i comprehend he will never came, he probably stop in a pub for more alcohool or fall assleep too drunk.

You couldn't imagine my joice to stay alone with my leak water !!! My home is not a place for profanators. Even if i had lot of affection for my friend, i prefer stay in a water flood.

But, that deserve a little vengeance with this old pic !!!

Never mess a Big Mama ;)

BTW, i was saved by my electric boiler : warm clean and hot coffee ! Alleluyah !!!

The night was so cold that i slept with a baggy trousers + an hoodie + 3 covers. Brrrrrrrrrr, it was so cold.
Hope, the plumber could put heaters on, today !!
I'm so so so so tired, and i slept only 4 hours by night since 2 weeks. I'm a real zombie.
What a mess to be single and must do everything alone. Pfewwwww !!! It's the sheer horror since weeks !!!! But i really think it's better to be alone than be with the wrong peoples.

Wish me good luck for the rest of the week !!!

Kisses.

Olivia

View of my work road

I turn as an awfull zombie. This move house kills me.

My body screams pain.

After 4 days without electricity and gas (brrrr cold washes were just awfull), i will have electricity and heating in the flat tonight. I'm so impatient to stuck my painfull body in the hottest bath on the earth.

I'm so happy to have quite Montpellier. People are extremely friendly in Sète and i make new friends at each street corners. I always heard terrific stories about Sète mafia, drug dealers or toughts algerians/ marrocans, but for the moment i only received a warm welcome. I lived in the muslim streets and my neighbours are just so cool and friendly. Yeah !!!! I'm so happy to live with civilized and intelligent people.

Pfewww, quite home for a new place it just awfull when you're a brocken back lady.

The Black Keys - El Camino

2011-12-12T18:49:00.000+01:00

I've bought the LP to have "Lonely boy" on vinyl. As i want to promote local shop, i've bought it in the local records shop at 35 € (cd included inside). Just for one song. Don't tell me "Lonely boy" is available on a 45 rpm or i throw my voluptous body by the window ha ha ha !!!!

I was a little bit deceiving by the 1st listenning but now it's ok.

I particulary love "Money Maker" and "Little Black Submarines".

"Little Black Submarines" starts as a non so interesting ballad, but at the 2'05" it turns as a great 70's rock'n'roll song with round guitar sounds as i like.

And i can't help me to dance hair on the face, naked feet in all my flat. So, the song pass the test :)

BTW, i've put "Lonely boy" during my 50's set last saturday night. No one screams, so again, it pass the test ha ha ha !!! And Jeroen, the Batmobile singer came to me, to ask me who sings this song.

In "Lonely boy", guitar sound is interesting as the powerfull drum.

For this one below, go directly at 2"05' ;)

Kisses.

A little walk to check where are the surfspots

2011-12-12T14:14:00.001+01:00

Saturday morning i was going to Sète to sign my flat leasing with the owner.
After that, i met my friend Charlotte to test a good restaurant that the flat owner tells me to try.

Before the restaurant opening, we had 45 minutes behind us, so i decide to check the coast and try to found our future surf spots.

Full of promises

But there is tons of sign "Forbidden to pass the gate etc...."

I'm not sure in case of surf accident if help will came and if yes how it will cost ???

I'm more a poor loser than a rebel. So i guess it's important to know what expect the law in case of injuries.

Our future natural swimming pool

Mary will protect us during surf sessions

As, we were the first customers in the restaurant, we don't know, Charlotte and I, why it was so long to have the first dish.

Suddenly, i see a guy who cames out from a van, the hands full of oysters packs !!!

The guy cames from the swamp at 500 yards. More fresh oysters ? It's impossible :)

1st dish : Oysters

2nd dish : Capon with garlic and parsley.

It was deadlicious as it was my grand-mother who does it !! Amazing !!!

I will keep the name of the restaurant only for my closed friends.

The appetizer was homemade french paté of duck and the dessert was pear pie.

We only paid 20 € by personn + 2 glasses of white and 2 glasses of red wine included /by personn.

Seems amazing for France !!!!

Bye Bye,

Olivia.

Hello Guys,

What a fun party with my gals, a goofy party as i like it. The shows were all great. What a good night !
I was really happy to DJing for so cool people. I start djing at 8:00 PM till 3:30 AM with 3 stops during gigs.

As always, i can't give a playlist because more than 5 hours of DJing, i definitively can't remember all the records i pass : I have adapted my set for the tought audience, less Rhythm'n Blues and more Rockabilly for one time.

But Pee Wee King, Hank Penny, Horton, Rose Maddox, The Jiants, Barrence Whitfield, Dr. Ross, Bo Weavil, King Salami, The Siroccos Bros, Hi Strung Ramblers, Carl and The Rhythm All Stars, Little Johnny Burton, Johnny and Jacky, Sam Butera, Mike Pedicin, Shirley Caddell, Roy Brown, Wild records artists, Lloyd Price, Little Walter, Slim Harpo, JD McPherson, The Ideals, The Frantics, ............. and many many many many more were on my turntables.

My friend Franck Billault took this cool pic, i'm happy because i had few pic of me while i'm djing :)

My friend Leïla and Jeroen the Batmobile singer

With my friend Sophie, the new breed, a young student who will keeps the rock'n roll flame after my departure for Sète :)

With the crazy Johnny. This sassy Johnny stole me a kiss, saying it's how they do in Holland. I told him that we add thongue in France ha ha ha !!!
I prefer with thongue, but it was the first kiss in 8 months, so i take it lol !!! Pfew we are so dumb and goofy.

In the psychobilly stomp with Sandra and Florence

Last wax purchase

2011-12-09T17:12:00.000+01:00

The CD that i 've bought more than a decade was dead so i found this official new edition of the first album of QOTSA.
I've got a big big big regret ! Why i 've bought the CD 12 years ago instead the vinyl ??? Pfeww sometimes i'm stupid !!!

Wish you a good week-end all.

Kisses.

Ollie.

I will live on an island ....... almost ;)

2011-12-08T14:42:00.000+01:00

Second good news of the day, i've found a flat to rent !! Pfewww i really think that i will be homeless in less than 1 week !!!

All my search was concentrate on the East side of Montpellier but my friend Charlotte encourage me to search on the west side.

If i will enjoy the place i think i will buy a little house in few years around Sète. I must push away the idea to buy this year. Everything doesn't go well and i heard bad economics news about my enterprise, so it's not the good time.

Here a copple of pics of my future place :

And at only 8 miles : my favorite skatepark, i son't know if i'm still able to take down the concrete tongue, but i will try again :)

Saturday, I will sign the lease and have the key the 15th december. Yeah !!!!

I'm happy, because the flat is big and i could keep one of my biggest value : Hospitality :)

Bye bye.

Olivia.

Yupi ! I've got my motorcycle licence !

2011-12-08T12:02:00.001+01:00

Woooo hooooooo ! I got it ! I pass the last part of the examination this morning. A little bit long because we were too much on the list and we don't have enought examinators. Well now it's done. The examination is very difficult in France. Years where you ride 20 minutes and received the drive licence are definitively finish ! But it's not bad because you learn a lot during the training.

I'm so happy. Now, i've got a new mission : Found the good sportster for me :)

Wish me good luck on the french killers roads.

Bye Bye

Olivia.

Bloody Mary

2011-12-06T12:58:00.001+01:00

There is a common point to all the Bloody Mary's versions : All are never enought long and deserve a second loop.

Are you in the same box of the people thinking Bloody Mary is too short ?

I love "the Playboys" version, an all time favorite, that i put at each of my sets

Kisses.

Olivia

No time for introspective delights

2011-12-01T12:34:00.000+01:00

Hello Everyone !

Hope everybody are ok. Personnaly, i am, even if life turns in a weirdo way. I supposed to quite Montpellier for countryside but the owner of the house where i supposed to rent the room will quite in 3 months to buy a new house.
So, i will pass on the Plan B. : A safe place at one mile from surf spots and 2 miles from countryside. I love the idea and you ?

I'm not worried because i will visit some flats during the week and i'm sure to find easily. BTW, prices are high and the bad part is that i couldn't save money as i want to buy a sportster in march/april 2012. But the priority is to have a place to sleep and to wash clothes for work.

I had put all my life in cardboard boxes, my friends Nico and Marco tell me that they could help me to carry big furnitures, so i'm not worried and i 'm ready to quite my awfull hometown.

Even if i don't know where i go i'm so happy to quite !!!

So i'm very busy with work, boxes, flat researches, last motorbike lessons to prepare the last examination (8th december) + friends visit.

I had the pleasure to received the visit of May from London with her friend Judita. May is one of my blog followers :

http://walkinginmay.blogspot.com/

Even if i was pretty busy, i try to show them the area. As restaurants are almost all digusting in Montpellier, we moved the first night to eat sea products in Sète. Sète's restaurants used fresh products as the Montpellier ones used to do 20 years ago (now it's only frozen food)

Oysters ! Ha ha ha ! Just for the pose ! Because May got some food allergies

So we stop her before she try.

The idea to "don't want finish holidays at hospital" takes the advantage on adventure ;)

I love so much my new turquoise FSK earrings.

So beautifull !!!

It's so easier to eat oysters whitout Charlotte.

It's so easy when there is no one to tell you disguting things while you're supposed to swallow ha ha ha !!!

Yeah Pijama party !!!!

Bye Bye.

Olivia

Yeah ! Friday will be sludge or won't be : Knut are back !

2011-11-30T10:09:00.002+01:00

Knut !!! Not the polar bear !!! The famous sludge hardcore band from Switzerland will play in my town friday 2th december !!! Yes Yes Yes !!!! I'm so happy, i didn't saw them on stage since 2006. The mosh pit was awesome, we all looks like rockin autists dancin like fools ha ha ha !!! Hope all my old pals will be to the next show. I must call my friend Rhuan and motivate him after his workin day of 15 hours !

Even if i'm 35 years old, i can't deny the music i love during my 20 years. I still love heavy music even if i didn't listen it a lot, stop to cross all the Europa for shows or buy records. When a good band stop in my town, you could be sure i'm the first at the show behind the scene ready to rock ha ha ha !!!

And here a video of March 2006 show in my town :

Ok it's not significative vid, but i swear we were completely mad on the pit !! Ha ha ha !!

Heavy music is good ha ha ha !!!

Where's my Coalesce, Converge and Keelhaul records ???? Hum Hum ........ I'm in a nostalgic mood today ha ha ha !!!

Kisses.

The first cat on Mars Blog

2011-11-24T14:25:00.000+01:00

Hello World !

I create a new blog : The first cat on Mars (Wait few days for real blog entries)

This new blog will be dedicated to all the girly posts i made. All the weirdos ones will stay on Big Mama Introspection and the others about decoration, retro style, outfit, clothing purchase etc will goes on the first cat on Mars.

Sometimes, i 'm censure myself because i don't want boring my men audience (i bored enough everybody with my bad english !!) with make up and clothes, so a new blog could be a good idea. I will try for a copple of weeks and if i don't have time i will close it.

Long life to the 1st Cat on Mars !!!

Harmonica Franck : I'm little bit deceiving. But when i listen to it, a band play in my back. My right ear is almost deaf so i only heard an harmonica sound, so i buy it.
The rhythm is too slow to used this record on DJ set. I will keep it for my personnal use :)

Al Ferrier : It was time to found a record of him and stop to listen him on you tube ! I wasn't foolhardy because i buy a classic, not all his songs are good.

Kid rocker : I had listen to this one on the blog of Dice Magazine during the week. I laught when i fall on it this week-end so i've buy it. A very good and classic rockabilly, i will bring it for my next DJ set. Did you know that Kid Rocker has only 14 years old when he made this release ? Awesome talent !

That's all, i'm completely out of money ha ha ha.

Bye.

Olivia

They are awesome !!!! Love them so much ! Definitively my fav band of the night.

Rockin Gône 8 - Part 1

2011-11-21T12:00:00.001+01:00

Hello my Chéris-Chéris,

The Rockin Gône 2011 was amazing. Goods shows, good friends, cool people. WOW ! 50's festival and surf are the best medecine for soul i know !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My last thoughts :

Excepted work and try to have fun during weekend, i'm really boring in my town.
With my humble blog i try, i said "i try", because it's more a fight to keep things interesting in my town, so i try to be aware and found new ideas about intertainement, fun, culture, music, etc. Not easy at all.

But 50's festival are with waves (salted or on concrete) the lone places were i'm feel alive. I know that's not real life but this is the lone instant where my body and soul are connected. Most of the time, i'm a serious working robot + I'm a lonely old maid.

So 50's festival are for me the place to see old friends from other areas, others people passionate by music, dance all night long. It's like an pilgrimage for my soul.

I know it's the thoughts of a weirdo gal, but 50's festival are still important for me like the first day. I really think that i will change my mind with age and time, but not. All the year, i think about the next festival. This is one of the thing who keep me motivated.
I know that's immature and non spiritual to confess that 50's festivals are a religion for me but i can't lost interest. My entourage doesn't really comprehend why i lost time, money and dance with eternal teenagers, instead be married and have children. For sure have kids should be great, but in South of France, if get married it's to stay at home with kids while your hubby fuck with all the women he met, stop to have passions because you don't have time between work and children, and your macho hubby dissaprove to have a wife who knows and do more things than him. Excuse me, but i prefer be the beachnik gal who bop all night long during festival. Sorry to be what i'm but i prefer my choices even if it's radical. Again, i will said it but I will not bow down !! I will submit myself only beyond love, intelligence and kindness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, i had failed all my pics. I'm so sad to fail it, shows were terrific. I enjoy so much the "Zazou Cowboys" show. I'm waiting with impatience their release. I hope my friends makes greater pic than me, because i would like have a little souvenir of the gigs.

So here the lone pic where you could recognized people on it :

With Starlight Gary, the real gentleman !

What happiness to be in the middle of non-show off and non agressive men.

It's so restful for the soul, to be respected as a woman and not be a piece of meat. WOW !!!

Kisses.

Olivia

Free ass kicks

2011-11-18T13:09:00.000+01:00

Hello all,

A positive new today !

With my windscreen broken, i really don't know if i could go to the "Rockin Gône fest 8". But i just received the call of an old rocker from my area who wants to find people to share car and fuel. Great !

So i decided to go but i must avoid to spent too much money when i will be there !

I will tell to my friends that they have the right to kick my ass if they saw me near records stalls !!! Free ass kicks !!! ha ha ha !!!

I never saw the Barfly, the new band of Manu. Hum .........i guess it will be "Free Style" ha ha ha !!!!

Kisses.

Olivia

Internet is a gold mine !!!

2011-11-17T16:13:00.000+01:00

Here what i see on the net today : A leopard tazer combined with a MP3

The article said : "It’s hard to say what the manufacturer was thinking, but combining an MP3 player and a taser is extremely stupid and dangerous. Sure it can hold up to 1GB of music, but who would want to listen to their favourite music and then shock someone with 50,000 volts?"

Who ? ....... Big Mama of course !!! Stupid question !!!

I love the idea to learn bop to the next asshole who try to follow me on night streets :)

Don't scare baby it will be easy to learn with "Boogie children" by John Fred and 50 000 volts ha ha ha !!

Kisses.

Ollie.

Cindy makes great jewellery. Personnaly, i love it too much and if i don't purchase before it's just because i could make a choice beyond so cute stuff.

Here what i take :

Feather bones + coral and turquoise beads.

I'm mad about turquoise, hope to save enought money one day to have a studded custom belt with tons of turquoise !!!

5 inches long, hum ..... i like giant earrings.

I'm so fuckin pissed off ....

2011-11-16T12:43:00.000+01:00

.... and i think if i've got these guys beyond me right now, i will jump on them and beat them down !!! Grrrrrrrrr !!!

This month, they broke for the second time my rear-view mirror. In fact, each time they saw me came out from my home, they try to submit me and there is reprisals on my car during the night.

I refused to play the nice girl, said "Hello Guys", or be smily. I ignore them and pass as someone who doesn't fear of them. Without an agressive attitude, just like someone quiet, who doesn't paid attention to them but with my head up. I refused to pass with my eyes looking my feet, like all the europeans does.

Yesterday, i've got rendez-vous with my home gals to go to theater. I was very well-turned as i used to do after work. So i cross my street to catch my car. As always the drug dealer gang was on the street. They hate white women independant. They watch too much porn movies with little white women who got sodomy with 2 arabs. So they think, us, european women must have a submissive attitude. What ??? SUBMISSION ? What's that world ???? Not in the Big Mama vocubalary !!! I only have a submissive attitude beyond love and intelligence and i will not bow down beyond stupidity.

Ok, so i pass my door home to take my car, and the gang of 10 pot dealers were here. I ignore them, but i notice for the second time, the same guy who quite the gang and turn in my direction to watch what i do and to show me that he disaproves my presence. I think "Shit now, he knows where's my car"!!!

I think : ok this is the new guy who think that i'm a danger for him and need to show his dissaprobation for the lone fact that i'm a lone girl on the street, be white, who drives a car, and well-turned : a real offense for modern muslim who deal drugs !!! Assholes !!!

How they could affirm to be real men when they are unsetled by a woman who cross the street beyond a gang of 10 guys !!!! ????? WTF !!!!! This is a non sense !!!

Ok, so to show they hate me, during the night they broke my windscreen ! And it cost 230 € I'm so fuckin pissed off !!! What courageous men !!!! What brave men !!!

I hope my assurance will be ok to paid a good part of the price. I've got rendez-vous with a garage saturday morning just before quite for the rockabilly festival !!!! GRRRRRR !!!! If assurance won't paid, i could'nt go to the show :(

I'm so impatient to quite the center of town for countryside !!!! I'm really not feel secure here. And i want a tasser for Christmas :)

Bye.

Do it with class, please !

2011-11-14T19:20:00.001+01:00

My sunday was so great. i visit my friends in the sailor man city of Sète. Sète is at 30 kilometers from my home town.

It's an adorable little city with a sunday's flea market near the center. After the flea market, we stop in the fresh market to eat and drink (a lot !!)
We had taste french goat cheese, sausages, oysters and urchins. Mediterannean oysters are different from the french Atlantic cost. It's more tasty and bigger. So not really easy to eat. Of course the degustation turns as a big mess as always !! Wow, eat oyster is so difficult !!!

A Tail records, before take the road and start with a good mood.

The white wine Picpoul de Pinet is perfect with oysters.

Because we don't eat enough, i stop at the bakery for cakes. Deadlicious !!!

2 french gluttons dead for eating too much

Kisses.

Olivia

Last jewellery finds

2011-11-14T16:52:00.000+01:00

Here my last flea market finds :

1 french bakelite Mississipi mud bangle (with a default) + 1 green plastic bangle + Exotic style 80's earclips

Frenck bakelite AKA Galalith is different from american classic bakelite. It's made with milk (Gala in Greek) and could had weird swirl as it was droop in oil.
The french bakelite bangle got a default but for 0.50 €, i won't cry ! :)

Thumbs with a view.

2011-11-14T12:59:00.000+01:00

Yesterday, i had a walk with my friends Charlotte and Jean-Jacques in one of the most beautifull cemetery of France. Deads got a wonderfull view on the mediterranean sea.

Jean-Jacques escapes, too much ashamed by the attitude of his lady.

It's impossible to stay serious one minute with Charlotte.

Charlotte beyond a masonic thumb. I had discover 3 flames that were in fact 3 phallus.

French masons of the XIXth century flirting openly with satanism.

Lot of cult objects were sculpture of devils in erection.

Really weirdo !

I love so much this place. Sète is a such great place. Surf spots are less crowded and i ask women if they had troubles with men on the streets. Most of them said that they had never heard or have troubles here. WOW !!! It's very attractive.

Kisses. Olivia

Yupi i success in the first test. (Path without engine and oral test + low speed path + normal speed path + oral question about signalisation and oral test)

I will have a place for the test of 30 minutes on roads next month because there is too much students, we all must wait. But it's the easy part. The worth is done. So i could sing victory right now.

I'm so happy, i really think i will fail, it's so hard !!!

Kisses.

Ollie.

Good luck Loser !!!

2011-11-08T12:00:00.001+01:00

Hello,

Ok tomorow if it's not too much rainy, i will pass the motorcycle test. I'm so stressed and awfull with all my entourage.
I even shout on my bike teacher yesterday. Ha ha ha nervous ladies !!! Never stay on their path !!!

I hope it won't be the downpour tomorow, because i'm too much impatient to get my bike licence. I don't want to ask an another day off at work if the test is cancelled. Pfff, i think i had 60% of chance to win the test. It just crazy all the things you should do to pass the test here in France :

- 3 handiness tests on a private parking ( 1st : engine off + 2nd : with a passenger on slow speed + 3rd test : handiness on normal speed (on first, second and third speed - cf pic below / my worst nightmare !!!)
- oral test
- second oral test
- 30 minutes test on real roads

In less than 22 seconds ! But i only success 2 times on 3.

My teacher is more confident than me.

Well, by the way, i'm also impatient to quite mid-december Montpellier. I know that things will be less comfy during one year. I couldn't received my friends how i used to do since 15 years.

Big Mama's Hotel and Restaurant is definitively closed, sorry Guys, now it's me who will test your sense of hospitality.

BTW, in my new place, there is a little part in the garage for my future bike :)

When i visited, i start by the garage, i said to the owner of the house : "Ok, i will take the room." The owner reply : "You don't want visit your bedroom first ???" Ha ha ha !!!

I know that i'm radical but alone with a non well paid job, i can't have other projects than try to survive and paid taxes. I really get enought to couldn't travel how i used to do in my youth. Sacrify my comfort is the only way to save money for my bike and home project.

Kisses.

Big Mama.

2011-11-02T12:06:00.005+01:00

Hello my dear Followers,

Our friend Dimitri is a great guy. He is so kind and lets me drive his baby : The 68 Charger !! So mythic !!! We made a lil video but V8 sound is covered by our kids laughts !!

Yesterday, we moved Cécilia, Dimitri and I, to a Volkswagen gathering in Nîmes (The Denim city). It was so rainy that it was like Indian Mossoon !! I slep with painfull curlers for nothing, for one time, i make the effort to be feminine and wear a real hairstyle ha ha ha !!! A lil gypsy i'm, a lil' gipsy i will stay !!!

I know that the Volkswagen gathering won't be interessting but i excepted nothing that have good time with my friends. So, it was a very good day for me.

There are some harleys too but so awfull that i didn't take pic, like guys never heard about Frisco style !!!

We spend a good day with friends from all the south of France : drinking beer, speaking about rock'n roll gigs, buying some records, eating and drive V8 : I can't expected a better day.

My friends

Hey Mom ! I'm in da car !!! lol

Love this pic because no one stares in camera direction :))

Mopar or no car !!!

Do you believe me, when i said that the Bananamobile is a real men catcher ?

Who said that girlz can't drive ???

Kisses.

I love lucite - part 2

2011-11-02T07:15:00.004+01:00

Hello,

I was strolling since months eBay and Etsy for a confetti lucite purse, but it was always too much expensive or i wasn't enought fast.
This time, i win the auction with only 7 cents more than the other bidder. Pfew !!! And, i've put the alarm clock at 3:00 AM. Girlz are mad !!! Ha ha ha !!!
I'm so happy because 50's style start to be less interesting for feminine blogger communauty. I guess that last year i could'nt afford a confetti bag on ebay :)
I cross my fingers : may be next year i could find a kamehameha dress for 80 $ ??? Who knows ??? I'm so optimistic ha ha ha ! But i don't have really the choice, i'm poor.

Kisses.

Forces Spéciales - Le film : Places à gagner

2011-10-28T13:35:00.001+02:00

Sorry Guys, it's only for frenchies. It's to win movie tickets in France but clic on the first vid, there's no word ;)

Bonjour mes petits Frenchies,

Mon Beau-frère fait gagner des places de cinéma pour le film "Forces Spéciales" avec Diane Kruger et Benoît Magimel.
Il n'y a qu'à envoyer par mail à : lescartesdelamemoire@hotmail.fr la bonne réponse à la question suivante :

De quel commando Kovax (rôle interprété par Djimon Hounsou) fait-il parti dans le film ?

1- Commando Jaubert
2- Commando de Penfentnyo
3- Commando Trepel
4- Commando Kieffer
5- Commando Monfort
6- Commando Hubert

Tirage au sort le samedi 5 novembre sur le blog : http://www.lescartesdelamemoire.fr/

Tentez votre chance, il y 5 places à gagner pour deux et le film promet d'être excellent. J'ai grande hâte d'aller le voir. Surtout que Marius le Commando Marine joue son propre rôle dans le film. Gage de la qualité du film.

BTW, for my english-speaking followers, i hope that this movie will cross borders because one of our best french soldier plays in the movie his own role : Marius from the French Naval Commandos, he is a legend in all the french army.

(The French Naval Commandos was formed during World War II in Great Britain, modeled along with the Commandos of the Royal Navy (who were founded in 1940). It took part in the Normandy Landing on D-day under command of Commandant Kieffer)

Delinquents Habits - Return Of The Tres and Tres Delinquentes

2011-10-27T12:15:00.000+02:00

One of my favorite modern bands even if these songs start to be a little old ha ha !!!

I assist at their show in my town in 1998. It was one their first dates in Europe. Musicians were so cool and happy to meet their fans. They let the audience jump on the scene and they offers all the beers and pot spliffs from their backstage.

After 30 minutes, things turn in a general fight. I lived in a dumbass macho place, so what we could expected ????
Fight was like western movie, when the saloon turn as a giant boxe ring, excepted that cowboys were north africans in skinny Levi's blue jeans and Nike shoes lol

I was with my twin sisters beyond the scene. It was so funny because the general fight looks a like an ultra violent hardcore show pit. So, my sister and I, managed easily a path in middle of fighters ha ha ha !!! And we escape from the concert room by the fire door. Pfewww !!!

Few days after, a friend told me that the Delinquents Habits tour bus was destroyed by the audience and look a like a César scupture + The French tour was canceled too.

Welcome in Montpellier Guys !!! The city of dumbass !!! Ha ha ha !!

Again, i think that men of my hometown have brains big as a green pea...

Kisses.

Man's Ruin Records

2011-10-24T13:49:00.004+02:00

Hello my darlings,

Friday night, i hang out with my friends Cécilia and Rhuan. As always music in pub of the town was as beer : BAD!!! So we decided to move to listen some good old rhythm'n blues with Rhuan at home. I think that he really enjoys old jivers and other classic blues like Dr. Ross and Papa Lightfoot. I hope one day we will have the opportunity to make a DJ set together, even if my friend mix pop, electro and rock. I love the idea to bring 50's music in different places and for non specialists audience.

Pina Colada helping, we finish at 4:30 AM with a lil stoner session. The occasion to show my humble collection of Man's ruin records to Rhuan. We are really, my friend and I, musical geeks. I love so much listen and speak about records with my guys till the end of the night. You can change the word "records" by surf shape, motorcycle, cars, skateboard, red wine too ha ha ha !!!

BTW, i take profit during the week-end to hang out in pubs to ask if pubs need my DJ services. Not easy in Montpellier, under the cheap student dictatorship and lake of money. Owner doesn't really need events just cheap booze for their customers ha ha ha , but who knows !!! :) may be i will have new DJ parties for start of 2012.

Big Mama taking the pose with the EP split Beaver/ Queens of the Stone Age ! 1998 MR 141

The Big Mama's Pina Colada was good ! Ha ha ha !!! Time to stop turntables and go to bed !!! Ha ha ha !!!

Fu Manchu - Eatin' Dust 10" - MR 157

The Desert Sessions vol IV - Hard Walls and little trips 10" - MR 112

The Desert Sessions vol V - Poetry for the masses (Sea Shed Shit Head by the She Sore) 10" - MR 121

Barkmarket - Peace Keeper 12" - MR 25

Beaver/ QOTSA - Split 10" - Mr 141

It's an humble collection but for a lil frenchie lost in South of France, it's not pretty bad.

Watch out guys : There is an italian shop on Ebay who sell it for nothing !! It's fake copy !!

True to the original but fake !!!! Even i, couldn't make the difference !!!

Mine are originals. I've buy it before Queens of the Stone Age became famous between 1998 and 2000.

Kisses.

Olivia.

Soon the test

2011-10-23T19:27:00.003+02:00

Joe Clay - Goodbye Goodbye

2011-10-21T17:37:00.000+02:00

That's true, that i put few R'n'R classics even on my FB profile, i prefer black music in general. I start to know the 50's by Rhythm'n blues music, and more i became elder and more i come back to my first love.

We are all the same :) It's like sort of men who get married with anorexic women by society pressure and escape at 40 years old with a "curvy mama" :))) ok you comprehend what i mean ;) ha ha ha !!!

But one time is not the rule, here a lil' Joe Clay for the week-end :)

Bye bye my honey,

Ollie.

I know it's not the season and my size but ....

It's me ????? Or since it's cold outside, i really need a beach party with fire torchs, rhum cocktails, hotness, big big big sound, limbo contest (even if i'm zero in limbo, it always funny to see others do it great). I guess that exotica mood won't quite me for a while.

Aloha.

My ass is precious !

2011-10-19T14:37:00.000+02:00

You will probably ask yourself : "What this crazy Big Mama is talking about ?" but here the last thoughts of a moron :

Yesterday, a friend has stolen my pic and creates a fake profile with the worst online dating site on earth !

I almost die when he sends me the pic on my FB, before i comprehend it was a joke !!

This dating website is just awfull : Women made their shopping on "adopt a man". I call it "Adopt a chlamydiae" or "adopt a magician"(because men dissapear in the nature after fuck women ha ha ha !!! )

I don't have respect for these men : they are common, uninteresting, fake.

You know, they are all the same guys i met at work, concert, pubs, streets.... bunch of losers and pathetic men. Yuk-Yuk !!!

It's because i love too much sex, love and real men, that i prefer stay single than adopt the first idiot of my town ! My ass is definitively too much precious.

No means no.

Kisses.

Ollie.

2011-10-17T13:58:00.000+02:00

Yesterday, I met Jérôme Le Zouave and her wife, Pascale during the car boot sale.

Jérôme told me that "The Zouave website" will be created soon.

I ask to Jérôme to stay beyond the banana mobile for the pic, it will probably make smile Mr. French Cancan ;)

My last bargain

2011-10-16T14:09:00.004+02:00

Hello,

The repears were made by the shaper himself (Chevalier surfboards from french Atlantic cost). I made a very good bargain.

I still don't know why the seller has accepted my lower transaction. I guess he was hurry to quite Montpellier and need as me to sale everything.

I will probably sell it, a good price soon, there is a lack of surfboards on the mediterranean cost :)
This board is too thick for me and the rocker is to flat. I used to surf "Big Bananas". Or may be i will keep it to borrow it to my friends.

I still need to repair my "first banana" but i have the most lazy shaper of Mediterannea :S !!!

Kisses.

Ollie

The good resolution of a glutton

2011-10-12T18:35:00.005+02:00

Ok here my last dinner in a restaurant. Ha ha ha !!!

Yesterday evening, we try, my friends and I, one of the best restaurant of the town. It's supposed to be very good but even if it was fresh fruits and vegetables, it wasn't good quality products and have few taste. The frustration was higher than everything, so now i know that i really miss nothing good in Montpellier excepted when my friend Nikky or myself cook something. Yeah i know i'm not humble but that's true.

Yeah i know, i've got a weirdo head, i try to smile but i want to kill the cooker in same time.

Rhuan and Mancha : i love them, my friends are so cool.

Big Mama on the seat of the convicted.

Foie gras and artichoke cream. I really don't recognized the foie gras taste ???? Weirdo

It was really without taste and so deceiving.

The wine was good but too young.

So, i decided to avoid restaurant of Montpellier as far it's possible to do it. I try to keep a social life in first.

I will save money and stop to take weight for nothing and bad food.

I'm agree to take weight but only if the food is excellent.

Bye Bye.

Olivia.

2011-10-12T12:24:00.003+02:00

For those who knows me more intimately, they know that i sale all my life to quite center of the city. I want to find a quiet place and a lower rent to save money for motorcycle and home project.

First, I want a Sportster but if i found a new home in countryside i had a secret dream to got a second bike : an XT 500 :)

Don't ask me why, it's a woman whims !!! But the problem, prices increase since few, there is nothing correct under 1500€. A nice one as pics below, could cost 2500€. Owners are crazy !!! I won't buy at this price because i prefer save for my future Sportster. But who knows ???? With patience, i always get want i want but it could take a long long long time ha ha ha !!!

Here some pics of the beautifull one, in evidence on the Montpellier's streets :

Isn't it glorious ?

Perfect for countryside !!! I want it for Christmas ! Please, i was a good girl during all the year !!!!

Kisses.

A regular sunday at the flea market

2011-10-10T17:27:00.001+02:00

Yesterday morning , i sales my old stuff at the Carnon flea maket. I catch Charlotte on the way. We had a good time and fun as always : Particulary, when i sales a corset to a transexual absolutely not friendly lol.

Oh my ! He was so ugly and agressive ha ha ha !!! Charlotte makes dramatic big signs in my direction because i sell the corset too much under its price ha ha ha !!! One day, goofy gals we are, will have troubles !!! Ha ha ha !!!

The morning finish by an ultimate fight of fly swatters ! Ouch !! I've still red brands on my ass ha ha ha !!!

I make 170 € because i sales under the price lot of tuff, to be sure to sell it and don't bring it to my home again. I makes a good price to Cyril of Absolute Vintage shop, i was happy and he was happy, a good transaction.

All the second hand professionnal sellers were like busy bees, all around me when i open my boxes. The day just start that i sell, all the beautifull pieces in 45 minutes. During all the morning, i had a loosy stall because i've nothing more to sell.

We eat dust all the morning. It was awfull !!!

It's not windy at all !!!

Stuff i sell

Bye bye my ugly stuff that i love

We do it like pros : Camembert and red wine for the morning. It's typical. Every professional sellers do it. So, as traditionnal gals we didn't break the rule :)

Marge Simpsons was here too :)

Wake up at 3:00 AM of the morning, carry heavy stuff, eat dust by a windy day, was very exhausting. But i must do it again next week, because i've got still tons of thing to sales and i still need money for my motorcycle licence. I hope i could make, not more, but same price, it will be cool.

Kisses.

I said to the owner of the shop that i will have a stall at the Carnon Flea Market the next day.

He cames and buy me tons of things sunday. I'm a little bit sad to sales my 50's and 60's treasures, but it's for a good cause. And, I'm happy to sell to a cool personn who is a real passionate and that could make money with it, than sales to "awfull second hand professionnals" of the market.

Here some pics i took last night.

Ha ha ha ! We got "stamp artist" at the enter of the show

It wasn't the best noïse gig of my life but it was interesting.

I spent my evening talking about music with my friend Rhuan. He is a electro/pop DJ but fan of noïse and hardcore. I love people who doesn't stop at only one type of music.

So, we spent our time drinking vodka strawberry cocktail speaking about rhythm'n blues and modern music. Cool evening for musical geeks, that we are.

Kisses.

Ollie.
