iCiNG Time Capsule

[ 20 May 2008 ]

I received an email from Nadine this morning, saying…

“Sweetie, can you believe it was a YEAR ago we were running around doing film noir? Unbelievable!”

Do you remember that?! This time last year, it was the fourth International Dress-Up Day, the theme was film noir, & the participants were spectacular!

Let’s take a little trip down memory lane…

Gala

Simon took these pictures of me in the little alleyways surrounding our apartment in inner-city Melbourne. It was freezing cold, & my shoes were killing me by the end of it, but we were both really happy with how the pictures came out!

Nadine said, “I don’t have access to venetian blinds, martini glasses or cigarettes, but little boys live in my house so guns are dime-a-dozen! I spent ages on Friday practising for the first one – heels, gun . . . shorts & t-shirt.”

Candice

Candice said, “mostly i just went for major contrast with the lighting.. threw in some cigarette smoke, alcohol, high heels, my favourite thrifted dress & voila! great theme.. it was definitely a broadening experience for me!”

NoirMuse said, “The Film Noir theme was a great opportunity to use my vintage had collection and seamed stockings.”

Lalumiere said, “we dressed up and bounced around downtown taking photos.. we got lots of weird looks but that kind of added to the fun. we came up with a plot and everything for them.. though there are far to many in the story to show off right now.”

  2. Icing penpall packages! You get paired up with one of Gala’s pralines and have to send each other fun things at a given time…then you photograph the fun!

    It’ll have to be themed though…;)

  4. I just missed out on I.D.U.D. I arrived on the iCing scene shortly after the last one :( I’d love it if it was revived….

  6. OMG! I can’t believe it’s been a year! I started reading iCiNG right around the time that these pictures were posted for IDD. Time passes so fast! This theme was my favorite IDD theme.

  9. ye gods! that was a year ago?! how time flies! it’s mad, i can still remember the very first iCiNG article, when there were only about twenty readers! it’s enough to bring a tear to your eye, it really is.

  10. One year ago, I didn’t know iCiNG existed * gasp *! Now I don’t know how my life would be without browsing religiously everyday.

  11. Oh dear, is it a year already? Then it must mean I’m a devoted reader. Gala, I’m reading your blog every day, and even though I rarely comment, your blog is the first thing that pops up on my screen every morning when I turn on the computer. Nice memories!
    Kisses

  12. Hahaha! Good morning, nonpareils! I was sorting through all my photos last night before I went to bed, emailed Gala, and now look what magic’s been wrought while I’ve been a-slumber!

    :D

  13. Wow, it can’t really have been a year, can it?

    I’d love to see an IDUD revival, but then I’ll take any oppurtunity to wear fancy dress :)

    <3 Rosie · May 20, 04:06 PM · #

  14. :O I think I know ‘NoirMuse’ or I might have gone to school with someone who looks just like her!

    Anyway I loooove this pictures, they are lovely

    <3 Beatriz · May 21, 12:29 AM · #

  15. This was the first Icing post I ever saw and after seening it I always desperately wanted to IDUD but inly ended up doing it once!

    Totaly seconding (or thirding w/e) a revival of this
