The photos are curtsey of very talented Rodney Shrimpton, my mother, mein Bruder, Philip and Gracie too. Actually, there were a shitload of people with my camera that day, so if I don't credit I don't know :P

After giving a bit of a talk, Laura and James, two very good friends of mine took me for a turn about the room; something of which was a common practice in the 19th century and a bit of a personal joke between us three :)

Finally the key...To my chastity belt :P
The party was as wonderful as I'd hoped; I'd been planning to have a tea party for ages. I had a smaller and crappier version for my 19th in one of the local parks here, but this was just perfect. Unfortunatly, quite a few people couldn't make it. However, the most important people in my life came and I just wanted to thank you guys very much for making it such a special day for me! Love you all!
As to my readers that may not necessarily be in my close circle of friends over here in Aus, I hope you enjoyed the post - it took forever to find all those photos and I'm sure it also took forever to load the page :P
Thanks for reading my lovelies!
p.s. 24 followers, hurrah!

ReplyDeletei like that first picture of myself, it's mad :p
That looks like it was amazing! You have the most beautiful shade of green hair I've seen. It makes me miss my blue even more.
ReplyDeleteI want to have a tea party for my birthday now. We're doing one for my daughter's 3rd, so I'll get my tea fix.
Your birthday looked like so much fun! I haven't had an actual party for my birthday since I was like 11...
ReplyDeleteOfficially most awesomest birthday party EVER. Actually, I just made my mum look at your pics and said, "My 21st. Here is your blueprint."
ReplyDeleteYour corset is stunning, too =)
Wow! That is one awesome birthday party! I loved looking at the pics too! I also loved the hat!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for the comments guys, you are all so sweet :D <3
ReplyDelete@Grace: Yeah I liked it, that's why it's in their :p Pity it's a bit dark though. I'll have to teach Phil how to use the camera properly one day - I think it was Phil...
@Stephanie: Thanks! I mix up 3 different colours from Directions to get my own little unique shade for the top, and I use Manic Panic Enchanted Forest on the ends which have issues with taking lighter colours. What kind of a blue were you - by that I mean dark, light royal etc? Ooo how cute, I hope you put pics up of the little ones when you hold it! :D
@Gracie: Really? Since you were 11? I demanded parties for my 16th, 18th and 21st :P The others I vaguely remember...Or...don't :P I think it was a bi-annual occurrence to have a few friends over for a sleep over and cake and stuff. I think this would be a good time to start whinging at your folks for one :P
@Ultimategothguide: I'm so glad you liked it, it really was exactly as I'd hoped. Haha, and I love that you said that to your mum :D When are you turning 21? I demand photos! :P
Angel of Darkness: Thank you! I'm glad all those pics didn't seem to get on anyone's nerves. I think most of you guys probably have real internet connections so it doesn't matter so much :P And thanks, I'm quite fond of my little hat :)
