"I love Ron English!" - Natalie

"That's really well put! :)" - Natalie

"Ellen von Unwerth shot Emma for Vs Magazine - http://stylefrizz.com/200901...... There were some hi res scans in foto_decadent on livejournal a few months ago - that's where I found the image you used in the post before this!" - Natalie

"I think that your first burlesque performance has pretty much put you in a very powerful position of moulding your ideal burlesque persona. If you can keep up that integrity, people will start to understand that burlesque isn't limited to rockabilly styling or kitschy housewives being coy. I have been through a gamut of "personas" in my own personal styling and identity, and while I don't perform on a stage, I do perform in real life. Right now I act out super femme with a dash of vulgar and a heap of lard - it's powerful to challenge the "norms" of femininity and I have a lot of fun with it. Just keep doing what you want to do, how you want to do it. Listen and observe, tempering your styling like a cook seasons their dish. We might be playing a minority game, but being true to ourselves is definitely enriching." - Natalie

"Oh MAN that black dress with the leg of mutton sleeves is amazing. Unfortunately Dorothy Perkins doesn't cater for Natalie Perkin's body :( I'm a UK size 26... CRY." - Natalie

"I love the high waisted skirt with the top gathered into the centre front + the dolman sleeves. So hot! It's nice in the khaki, but even better with the yellow loud print skirt!" - Natalie

"Oh man, I hope Full Figured Fashion Week comes to Australia, because I want to be front and centre (with sponsored flights and shitttt!) The fashions probably won't be any better here though, because Australian plus size fashion is wretch. It's pretty much all about the jersey, polyester chiffon and blocky blacks. I think the problem is that the industry thinks any kind of couture designing would go to waste, which is fairly illustrative of the limited mindset here (and in the US, it sounds like!)" - Natalie

"Your photobucket account has sploded! Can I suggest just hosting everything on flickr? I've never had a bandwidth issue with them!" - Natalie

"In one interview with Beth she complains about fatties who whinge about not being able to find clothes - instead, she instructs us to be resourceful and wear things unconventionally. The article also made it sound like she was gloating that designers sent her specially tailored haute couture in her size. In this interview she is one of the whinging fatties? I wish I knew if she was on my side or not! Regardless, I am going to be saving up for some of these pieces :D" - Natalie
