Once again we've come to the last day of Movember, it's always a great month, I love the mo's & I've loved frocking up ( Todays frock, a pink chiffon one i bought for Puppy on the radios party a few years ago. last nite i spoke of how I love the fact that we do all discuss depression & men's health issues more, tonight i thought I'd give you the words of some men, Puppy on the Radio,& JJ my 16 yr ols son. Two men who have lived with depression in different ways, and both of whom have lost a close family member to cancer this year.

Yes - it's PuppyOnTheRadio again, who is living testament to the fact that depression can be a debilitating disease, but more importantly one that can be treated, and eventually, overcome. Given what I have gone through over the last couple of years, and the fact that I am bouncing back, demonstrates that more than anything else.

While it is important to raise money as part of Movember, and to of course grow a fantastic landscape of facial hair - or in kitty's case, wear lots of dresses - the other thing is that people are aware that in the case of men's health it is importnat to see your doctor when the first signs of anything odd appear. The sooner it's discovered, the more successful treatment can be. Kitty mentioned losing someone to cancer, but at the same time we still have a few family member's who have struggled and survived, and the world is a much better place for that. There is no shame in admitting that you may be unwell.

(Apparently I was only supposed to write a sentence or two. Ooops. On to JJ.)

Hello people, i'm JJ. i live a pretty normal life, i go to school, i play games , i see my friends occasionly, but thats not why im writing this. I'm writing this because i want to raise the awareness of men's health issues. Earlier in the year i lost my uncle, who was a great man, to a violent form of cancer. Before this unfortunate incident i was living as i had been before, but even when you think your going to be ok, you probably wont. Losing my uncle has been very hard on me
and i'm just starting to bounce back. i have never felt like i have this year, and hope to never feel this way again :). thx 4 reading this :)

Well this is almost goodbye for another year, i'm sure we'll be back next year in someway or another.This year over we've had over 800 views of our blog and raised some money -keep the conversations going.... remember to always keep your sense of humour....

only 2 sleeps left

2010-11-28T23:12:00.001-08:00

well i can't believe it, we're once again coming towards the end of Movember. Its a bittersweet time for me. I love the fact that everyone's chatting about important stuff like depression, I would like to encourage everyone to continue these conversations throughout the year. If you're suffering from depression, try to let people know. If you feel worried you may be go to yr GP and have a mental health check, it doesnt take long and can ease the way for you. If your worried that someone you care for may be suffering try and talk to them, if they don't respond check out beyond blue for signs & ways to help.
Oh and by the way, todays dress is red with black boots;)

Market day....

2010-11-28T22:52:00.000-08:00

I had a great day today, up early for coffee then up to take2markets Hawthorn Town Hall. I wore the cream lace dress, black boots & a navy pinstriped blazer. I would never normally wear cream but it seems to work with my new hair:) I must admit with only a few days left im starting to look enviously at the gorgeous shorts & camis in the shops, might treat myself to some soon..But for now, it's dresses, and it's spreading the word about men's health issues & encouraging conversations.
Please take the time to donate even a few dollars,

Todays song:

What a difference a day makes.....Blonde :)

2010-11-28T15:47:00.000-08:00

Today I did something I've never done before, yesterday I was a redhead, Today I'm a blonde. Not just any blonde but I have a gorgeous shade we're calling antique rose, Its like slightly pink champagne and I cant believe how much i love it lol. I have to apologise thou the photo of me today is awful im not sure what im doing but i wanted to put in a photo of the gorgeous Suzani rain, hairdresser to stars & also me, it's true;) isnt she beautiful? Todays dress by the way is a gorgeous little black one, one of my faves.
A bit of a crazy day, storms, car problems, my son injured himself at work...etc etc.
But mofashionista must continue:) I also went back to Dotti today and bought the cream version of the black dress I bought earlier in the week, loved it so much.

Please remeber to donate, only a couple of days left

Todays song is off course, Blondie

2010-11-25T01:20:00.000-08:00

Hi guys, I hope Puppy on the Radio has been keeping you entertained & behaving himself lol. I knew he was waiting for his chance :)Seriously thou, if you enjoyed what he wrote give him a shout out, he's been considering blogging for a while and I think he'd be great.
So Big return to work today, a sultry, soaking Melbourne day. I was spoilt for choice, having bought 3 frocks on the weekend and all 3 still waiting to be born. I went for the pink one (although its possibly more slightly on the purple side) a flowy chiffon style, with cute little flats & of course, my big pink umbrella. For those of you unaware, my umbrella is quiet legendary around here, I'll post a pic another time so you can see what i mean. Anyhow, less than a week left of our big adventure......

To donate, visit http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923.

Hope you dont mind that Ive put a pic of the dress, not me here. to be honest after the 15th person said, "yeah you look pale, sick etc" I really didnt want to share how i looked today.

So nyway, here's todays song:
One for all of us Gleeks,

2010-11-24T02:22:00.000-08:00

Hi all,
Yes, I'm back again. Mysskitn is still feeling under the weather, and given how horrible the weather was today, that's a heavy thing to be under.
For those who are unaware of the weather in Melbourne at the moment, it is hot. Of course, I've been taking public transport to work of a morning. The train I was on this morning was so hot that by the time I left the train, I was so wet from sweating that my clothes weighed an extra 5 kilo. Of course, that means that that's 5 kilos that I've lost now, so there's an upside to everything.
We have have a lovely cool change now. I'm sitting on the loungeroom floor, after having visited a year 10 movie night at my middle child's school. It has just started raining. Oh Joy!
I'm adding a couple of pictures of what my glorious kitten has been wearing of the last two days. I'm not showing you images of the kitty herself - she's curled up on the couch with Lola and watching TV.
In other news, I'm growing a rather large moustache, and yet I'm still getting kisses. (Or rather I would be if someone wasn't contagious. Sigh!) And illness is one of the reasons as to why I'm growing the facial landscape. Men's health is a huge issue, and Movember is important for exactly that reason.

To donate, visit http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923. But for the moment, enjoy the song that reflects the heat of the last couple of days.

2010-11-22T02:10:00.000-08:00

Mysskitn can't come to the keyboard today as she is feeling under the weather. As a result PuppyOnTheRadio is here and blogging on her behalf.

Ummm... now that I'm here I have no idea what to say.

I guess I'm best off explaining that the whole idea behind mofashinsta, and also my own facial landscape, is to raise money for men's health issues. The one thing above all others is that men's depression in Australia is at a horrific level. For a country with such a high standard of living we have an extraordinarily high level of suicide. This makes no bloody sense.

But, moving well away from this, Mysskitn is wearing a pretty blue dress today. I would show you a photo, but there's something about feeling unwell that makes her allergic to cameras.

And the song... well...

Camberwell market.....

2010-11-20T21:24:00.000-08:00

Today's fun was had at Camberwell market. I wore a lovely strapless lilac floral dress, yep the sun is still shining:) Mum, Lola & I had a gals morning. It was so crowded at the market, but totally worth while. I found two gorgeous frocks, a black miss shop one with a rose print for $8 and a flowing pink one for $10. Look out for them both, along with my new black lace one next week. Clearly I'm in no danger of running out of dresses. Lunch & coffee with Puppy on the Radio then lovely quiet afternoon at home.

I had a fabulous day today, I actually felt healthy for the first time in weeks, and the sun was shining in Melbourne. My dress for today was a lovely grey & black sundress, a little bit chic lol. It was another find from camberwell market for a couple of dollars. Puppy on the radio had lots of fun with my photo & had me in paris, on the Eiffel Tower. Thanks for the gorgeous photo editing:)

In the afternoon i took off to Westfield for a bit of retail therapy & came back with a gorgeous black dress from Dotti for the great price of $20. Then we went out for a fabulous dinner @ Nataraj in camberwell. Highly reccomended restaurant, the service is amazing. This was followed by seeing a great film, Wild Target starring Bill Nighy & Emily Blunt. An hilarious film, with great music & increadible clothes. All of my favorite things in one film. All in all a very busy, very enjoyable day.

Today was a lovely day in Melbourne, it started with a lovely cup of coffee & a black dress. Not unusual at all really:) We had a rental inspection this afternoon, so were madly cleaning the house this morning, unfortunatly I am still suffering from traces of a cold so ended up getting dizzy spells.A clear sign to rest up. After lunch Miss Lola & I went and sat in a friends garden for an hour to enjoy the sunshine. Here's the two cute doggies together....

After a nice long bath in the evening i changed into the second dress. A floral shirt dress, then off to doncaster to look at christmas trees:)

Where Miss mofashionista tries beer....

2010-11-17T20:23:00.000-08:00

Lovely day in Melbourne today, I decided to wear a gorgeous 50's style pink strapless lace dress. Totally over the top for work but sooo lovely. Also of course pink ballet flats. After work Puppy on the radio & I went to a tasting of beers made ny Trapist monks. It was amazing, I have never been a beer drinker but even I found a couple i liked. I met another couple of guys who were into the Movember cause, and got photos taken with them & the lovely Ellen who helped to organise the tasting.

2010-11-16T01:51:00.000-08:00

Another great Movember today, & another great dress. Today's dress is a purple swirly 70's print style, again bought from Camberwell market for a couple of dollars. I find so many beautiful things there. It was a pretty normal work day, good train trip, great coffee and a nice sunny day. Puppy on the Radio cooked dinner which was a lovely chicken stir fry.
Unfortunatly after that i got so distracted that the washing machine flooded half of the house, so i had to get wet cleaning up. As a result Lola got a new binkie, so she gets a happy photo to.!

2010-11-15T02:45:00.000-08:00

So now we've made it through half of the month, I've had a lot of fun so far, I cant wait to see what the rest of the month holds. Today's dress was a gorgeous red shirt dress, black tights & cute flats. after work today, I had to return a DVD to Box Hill Library, so todays photo is taken outside there in front of the giant jigsaw sculpture.
The donations are starting to add up, which is great to see, we're up to about $60 which is a great starting point.

Looking for costumes

2010-11-14T02:46:00.000-08:00

This morning was spent starting to look around for costumes for the Movember ball, so exciting! I have narrowed it down to a couple of options which i cant reveal yet, but i will say I got a gorgeous wig which could very well be part of the picture. After looking around for ideas I'm hoping to be able to get something on ebay, fingers crossed.

Today's outfit is an adorable denim pinafore, with a pink lacey T underneath, and my fave red short boots to add a tiny bit of an edge. I love it, and will be wearing it again when the months done.

The great news so far is that people all over the world have been reading the blog, and linking back to Movember pages. So far we've got hits from Australia, UK, America, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and other countries. This is so exciting to me!!! I cant believe we've gone world wide this year.

I put on a lovely black tunic then got out my fabulous over the knee boots i got for my birthday, Seriously a bonus cause I didn't know if i would be wearing them again this year. I popped in a lacey green cardy & a big silver necklace ad was ready to go. it was a cold rainy day today, a complete contrast to yesterday but i didnt let that deter me:)

A hot, stormy day

2010-11-11T20:42:00.000-08:00

Today was a very stuffy day in Melbourne, apparently storms are on the way. I awoke with the lingering effects of a migraine. So what better way to combat all of this than wearing a bright cherry print dress, and high, high red heels:) So armed with my best red shoes & mojo, I went down to Westfield, got some false eyelashes done....( I cant tell you how much i love these, silly i know but I do lol) coffee, a bit of browsing & some new homewares and I'm a new woman lol. A very lazy afternoon, then met up with Puppy on the radio, which clearly demanded a different dress. so I popped on a fabulous black strapless number, and off I went.

So, one stuffy day turned out to be lovely.

Please don't forget to donate to the cause, and mabye if yr reading this thru twitter or facebook, retweet or post please, it's for out guys.

A short, but exciting day

2010-11-11T19:29:00.000-08:00

Apologies for the late posting of Thursdays blog, i spent a lot of the day laid up with a migraine, I managed ( with the aid of codeine) to get into work for a couple of hours for our exciting Living Library program, where borrowers have the opportunity to have a one on one chat with a living "book" ie person. We had a good selection of people, including a QC involved in Human rights work, authors, a poet, an antiques dealer, and a small businesswoman.
I frocked up for the occasion in a black chiffon dress with white lace, and managed to grab some ballons which I love. It always makes me smile to have balloons around.

I borrowed a fabulous woman called Rina, who started the "Take2markets" which are vintage clothing markets, if you havent checked them out have a look here:

it's day ten already??

2010-11-10T16:38:00.000-08:00

Here we are on day 10 already....I cant believe it. today was a work day, but Puppy on the radio & I stopped off at camberwell and went to a cafe we used to go to most days but havent been to in months. It's called Collective, and is right near the station, if yr ever near there check it out. Their coffee is amazing, this new blend they had was fruity but not sweet and had a lovely kick to it.

So todays dress is a lovely 50's inspired style with a brown check pattern. I also put on my fave latte coloured heels, and i was good to go for the day. day 10 and 11 dresses, not too bad but i'll have to get numbers up i think.

Please remember that Movember is all about raising awareness as well as money so if you don't feel you can donate let's at least try and have some great conversations so our Bros feel they can talk about what's going on

Ice cream................

2010-11-09T01:47:00.000-08:00

Today was clearly a day for a summery dress, so I ransacked my wardrobe & found a gorgeous floral dress that I brought last year from Dangerfield. It's black with pink & white flowers & polka dots. Then I put some gorgeous red boots on it and I was ready to go. I've noticed over the last day or 2 that there's lots of you guys out there growing the Mo's well done! It's exciting to see so many guys participating in Movember.

After work we decided it was clearly a great ice cream evening, so headed off to Westfield .....I love Westfiled Doncaster :) So here I am with my raspberry sorbet.

Another Sunny Day

2010-11-07T17:39:00.000-08:00

Today was another lovely sunny day in Melbourne....Dare i suggest that the rain has finally gone away? I worked at Camberwell for a change & had a lovely short day. It was another black dress day, this time a lovely tunic dress from Jacqui E (via Camberwell market) with pearls, a white cardy & white rose to accent.

Im trying to think of a fabulous costume to wear to the Movember Gala parte at the end of the mont, so if anyone has any suggestions for a glam costume for me or for both Puppy on the radio & myself as a couple let me know......at the moment i'm stumped!

lazy sunday afternoon

2010-11-07T01:27:00.000-07:00

Georgeous melbourne day today, coffee, lovely morning at camberwell market with Puppy on the radio & Miss Lola. The market was not great for buying today, I picked up a lovely Lilac vintage sundress for $8 but that was all. Somedays I go and come back with armfuls of things, but it was a lovely day so it didn't matter.

Today's dress was red again, ( I really seem to be developing a thing for red:) and summery and i wore my gorgeous new sunhat. Our photo was taken at the lovely Red Cup cafe in Box Hill, a short walk from my house. The Vespa which i love belongs to the owner..... If yr driving down Middleborough road look out for it. It means great coffee:)

We had another donation over the weekend, thanks Suzanne:) which takes our total inc cash that's been given to me to $50 already. So, once again i encourage you to donate to this great programe, Movember has done so much for men already let's help it continue:
http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923/

A hard days work......

2010-11-06T23:50:00.000-07:00

Today was a day when i had to do some cleaning, but first of course coffee:) Off to jones the Grocer @Westfield to try them out. Great coffee, and marcus whose the new owner is a doll!! Of course while i was there I fell into to dangerfield & bought the most adorable red 50's style sunhat. Mr 13 also got some classic black doc martin boots which he's been after for ages.

So, the dresses, yes i managed to wear two:) Clearly i had to think about it. The cleaning one had to be pretty, but also not too fussy, a bit practical. So I chose a red &white cotton print sundress. It was cool and soft to wear. then after coffee, lunch & a lovely visit with my dad I was bored & avoiding housework so i changed into number two, a black & white print dress. (In the photo on the right with me today is the lovely Mr 16 who is growing a mo for the cause:)

It's one of my faves, one of the first ones i bought a few years ago when i really started to think about styling & body shapes. it's lovely. Of course i couldn't avoid housework forever, so we did a few hours then as a reward I baked brownies which we ate with icecream. But of course the point of all of this is to raise money for our Mo Bros so please donate: So click here :

2010-11-05T04:03:00.000-07:00

Lovely spring day in Melbourne today. Had great plans, including meeting my niece whose 3 for lunch. I know she loves fairys so i had to wear my black taffeta fairy style sundress. She of course was very impressed and told me she had a fairy dress on too! Hers was red & white. we had a lovely lunch followed by cupcakes in the park.

So after dayday 5, only 5 dresses. i might have to see what i can do over the weekend to increas numbers. A workmate of mine, Kieran is also doing the movember thing so he's my photo buddy today. also of course we have a pic of our little fairy

A big big day

2010-11-04T03:57:00.000-07:00

Today started out fairly uneventful....I chose my dress, black& white polka dot shift and popped on a long black cardy I didn't even have to try a few on. Day 4pretty under control so far. A couple of donations already, thanks sweeties:) I had a gorgeous photo taken by a lovely work colleague and i was all organised.
Then something happened which rocked my little corner of the world
I found out that James Freud, lead singer of the Models for those of you two young or old to realise died. This shocked me more than i thought it would have, i mean he was a very gorgeous man in my eyes, and i spent massive amounts of time as a teenager dancing to that brilliant band but I was teary thinking about it. Unconfirmed reports say that it was suicide, we will never know for sure but he was clearly a troubled man who struggled My thoughts & love go out to his wife& sons.I guess this is what hit me again, people are so vulnerable;le & we need so much to raise money of course but also to be open & supportive so that people feel at least that they can express things they are feeling. This to me is the beauty of the Movember campaign, it combines all of this. Please donate even a little bit if you can here's the link: http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923/

so todays post is dedicated to James, a man who bought laughter and happiness to many with his music..........here's a great song

Back to work.....

2010-11-04T03:46:00.000-07:00

Today was a pretty good work day, I decided to get out of my black thing and wear some some different colours. Today's dress was a dusty pink & brown print, a cute flippy skirt & pretty neckline. I had a good day, then had lovely nite out with @PuppyontheRadio.

Even though its early in the month I'm looking forward to the challenge and hoping we can at least equal if not better last years total raised :)

Cup day!!!!

2010-11-03T00:35:00.000-07:00

Today was a lovely, lovely day. Cup day is one of my favorite days of the year, so clearly the dress had to be special. I tried 3 on before i was satisfied with the result. The first one was a pale lilac, I loved it but it was clearly a black day again. So i put on a gorgeous black dress with a ballerina skirt and loved it soo much that I had to take it off again cause I couldn't bear to not wear it again for a month. It was my black fairy dress, and you will see it later in the month. yes, that really is the way I think, weird i know :) Anyhow Cup day is my day in the country so here we are! Gorgeous dress fabulous day. Remember though why we're all here please donate: http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923/

Here we go again...

2010-11-01T03:05:00.000-07:00

Yep here we go, For those of you who are wondering what this is all about it started last year when I decided i wanted to do something to support my partner who has been growing a Mo for the last few years for the Movember cause. I decided on Mofashionista, my contribution.

So what is it? The challenge is to wear nothing but dresses for a month, and also to only wear each dress once! The idea is also to blog everyday to raise awareness and also money to help with research into men's health issues, both physical & mental. If you're not sure what movember itself involves, check it out: http://au.movember.com

So here's todays outfit, number 1 for this year. The weather wasn't great here in Melbourne today, and with halloween being yesterday I was inspired by dark faries to this outfit, black chiffon teamed with gothic stylr leather lace up boots. The boots were so special they get a photo of their own.

I also got my beautiful long eyelashes done again.

This year my partner ( who shall now be known as Puppy on the Radio ) will be joined by my son whose 16 in the Mo growing. I'm proud of his understanding of how important these issues are. So i'll be here everyday with a photo of the outfits & the growing Mo's. Check it out, and if you want to donate you can do it here:

Ok, i know Movember ended yesterday but I couldn't help myself, I had to do just one more post.....we've done what we set out to do so firstly a big thanks to Miss Tina for her efforts, and also to Miss Hannah who has provided endless behind the scenes support. (I think at one point I gave her the title of campaign manager:) Thanks of course to Mr D for growing the mo for the last 3 years and inspiring us to do this. The money we have raised has been brilliant, but i also just wanted to remind everyone that the other reason we do this is to raise awareness of men's health issues including depression. So whilst the month is over i would encourage us all to remember what some of our Mo men are dealing with. If you think that someone you know might be suffering from depression please try to encourage them to seek medical help or check out the beyond blue website:http://www.beyondblue.org.au/index.aspx?link_id=&gclid=CP6I3L6-sZ4CFZAvpAodLGqwog

So what are we wearing today? I know Miss Tina is rocking her jeans, in fact there was a rumour going around that she was going to put them on at 12:01 this morning. I'm wearing a denim skirt and pretty black t...my version of jeans.

Two songs today, one dedicated to all the men out there struggling 3 doors down with "Kryptonite"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q233CxlIZtk

and the other more optimistic Blink 182 "First date"...let's make it last forever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yaVVF7RX2g

See you all next Movember....till then Mo love Jaynie

Day 30...this is it!!!

2009-11-29T16:27:00.000-08:00

( Note, for those of you curious about my wardrobe...here it is lol)

I am quiet in awe of the brilliant donations we have received, i think at the moment we,ll get a few hundred, not bad for one guy with a mo and two gals with some dresses. It's been a wild roller coaster of a month, there have been days when i have been thoroughly over having to photograph myself but mostly it's just been a great experience, really i feel like I've enjoyed it was too much. It's not too late to donate you can still donate on line::
http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923 or give your friendly mofashionista sister cash by Thursday.

Today's song , I think Miss T was inspired by Queen, i couldn't quiet do

"We are the champions "so instead "we will rock you",

Day 29..........1 more sleeps....3 dresses

2009-11-29T16:17:00.001-08:00

Roxy music, "a hard rain's gonna fall"

I think miss T says it all today

"I can't believe there's only one more day to go!!

I can't believe there's only one more day to go!!

Yaaaaaay!!

Yesterday was a busy day for me, after the excitement of the party i got up earlish to re caffinate and source the market for one more special dress. well of course i had a great morning and bought 4 lovely dresses, hence the 3 dress day. One black sweater dress that i left the house in, assuming since it was raining it would be cold, one denim pinny that i wore for work in the afternoon with a black t, and my stylish purple one that was worn to my after dinner drink with Miss Hannah. I think Miss Tina may have had a much more relaxing day :)

Whilst i feel miss T's excitement it's a bit bittersweet for me,

Today's song from Miss Tina: Heavy Weather Jarvis Cockerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtYvbbLwn0g

Day 28.....a Gal's work is never done....

2009-11-27T21:16:00.000-08:00

So today i'm off to work after my lovely day of pampering. It's starting to get exciting cause the gala parte is on tonight, but i'm also feeling a bit sad cause there's so little time left. What started as a funny little idea i had has blossomed into a lot of fun, raised a lot of money and caused much more excitment than i thought. I've met a coulpe of lovely guys today who have great Mo's, one of whom also shaved his head for the cause. There's a great community feel going on, So for the third last time, please remember to donate to the cause, it's so important and all the money raised goes to help with the issues of men's mental and physical health:

http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

Todays song: you gotta fight for your right to party! Miss tina is as you can see from her photo, she couldn't join us at the gala sadly so is having a boogie at home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NdAUnnU9Ac&feature=channel

Also as you can see i wrote this blog before the gala parte and added photos later, it rocked1 i can't believe how many men went to so much effort with their mo's and costumes and also the mosistas who supported them. great effot guys, and yes it was a hard job getting my photo taken with all of those lovely guys...sigh

Day 27.....a day of pampering and shopping

2009-11-27T19:39:00.000-08:00

Today the two Ms fashionistas had lovely morning together, drinking coffee and shopping. I bought a fabulous frock to wear to the Movember Gala parte.....Miss T bought a tshirt to wear in December and a pair of incredible red wedges. Hope she wears them soon. Tina is getting sooo excited about Dec 1st........though she did say she feels as thou she gets ntreated a little bit differently by people when wearing a dress.

I was very excited cause I've wanted a cherry print dress for ages and managed to find one for $9.....

Please remember to donate if you haven't yet:

2009-11-26T19:12:00.000-08:00

Today i spent the day reducing stress, or learining how to. It was a thundry stormy day in melbourne so it was quiet a relief to spend some time meditating and learining about being positive.

It was a gift from Miss J." and actually i have also worn a similar dress so i promise you all there are 3. Luckily for me i managed to snaffle a pretty dress at kmart last nite for a bargain price!! So i wore it today with my fave flat boots. I love the look of a girly dress with bucked boots:) So only 6 days left....and here is Miss t today...how glam is she always. she's added the black belt, nice.

Clearly we both need some new props as we are again surrounded by books. i am wanting to borrow the dress tina has on today, it's so purty!

http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923 Miss tina's photos will be added soon, including a gorgeous one of her brother's wedding. 13 days to go, how many dresses can i fit in? from Tina:

Back to work.After the chillaxed vibe of the weekend, it was very hard to amp myself up for work. I tried for the powerdress look with a charcoal grey esprit shift dress and red accessories. I was mighty uncomfortable, the dress was too tight and I felt weird on heels after wearing thongs for days... That dress might be a hand me down J.Today's song is by the lady who revamped the image of librarians when she named her retrospective collection "Tales of a librarian" Apparently the album is also ordered by the dewey decimal system of subjects... Cool

From Tina;

Day 14,15,16 -Heavenly Portsea.I have to say the dress wearing business makes sense at the beach in warm weather. I live in sarong/wrap dresses and 'kinis.Except for Saturday I did have to get dolled up for my brother wedding. The reception was at Pt Nepean National Park drinks by the ocean, followed by dinner and dancing in the revamped mess hall. Very civilised. The bridal waltz was Maybe I'm Amazed by Paul McCartney and Wings. Lovely love...Maybe I'm Amazedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKwq9soya_Q

Day 15 Florals

2009-11-15T02:49:00.000-08:00

Day 15 and YAY YAY YAY we're half way through!! It's starting to get a bit hard, even for me the original dress gal. I found myself lusting after t-shirts today while i was out shopping and i have found a lovely snuggly pair of jeans to wear in December. BUT it's all about the guys and raising awareness of men's health and some funds so we'll keep going! sadly i had a photo issue with this one but don't worry one will arrive soon :0
Miss Tina is still at the beach but i know she's rocking mofashionista so also photos to come. keep up the donations please, and if you're thinking you'll donate later in the month you'd better hurry up there's not that long to go donate at:http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

Day 14 Black dresses a go go

2009-11-14T01:34:00.000-08:00

Day 14 was another day of two dresses, this time both black. dress one was a lovely black linen tunic as pictured. I went to work in this and slipped into a slinky black number for cocktails later. I'm starting to think i need a definitive count of how many dresses so far, i believe we may be up to about 20 so will check it out later in the week. we are still trying to get some more donations going, remember if you don't want to donate online you can give some cash.
http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923
Tomorrow is the halfway mark......today's song is Black Hole Sun, Soundgarden

Day 13...friday 13th

2009-11-13T01:16:00.000-08:00

Today was a very busy day for Mofashionista's......

I went to work, a concert and dancing afterwards. this photo is quiet dark unfortunately cause i am wearing a red silk Chinese dress and sitting in a red velvet room. Very pretty, except photo is way too dark. Miss Tina is taking a leave of absence from photos and blogging but nor from mofashionista so we can expect a lovely group of photos from her soon. we are nearing the halfway mark and there have been no new donations for a week so clearly i will have to start asking more people. please if you are reading this, tell your friends about us, get them to check out the blog it's for a great cause. http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

Day 12 women in black

2009-11-12T03:33:00.000-08:00

Todays song, a great song to dance to , muse's supermassive black hole

Day 11 its too darn hot

2009-11-12T03:18:00.001-08:00

Today we open with a quote from miss tina which pretty much sums it up:

"If I look shocked in this photo it's because I sat on the chair and it was bloody hot!!"

it was 36 degrees in melb when this photo was taken and our weird little heat wave is continuing. However we're not letting anything get in our way as we cruise on towards halfway thru the month. im getting a little worried cause i seem to be wearing all of my fave dresses earlyish so may end the month being a bit dowdy. However in exciting news we may have a special new girl in a dress on saturday so look out for that :)

Todays song is recommended by miss tina it's called Lucky, check it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrQTvH8R4Lw

2009-11-10T00:47:00.000-08:00

Day 10, OMG a third of the way thru!!! we're very excited here @ mofashinista. Also we have finally been allowed to take a pic of Mr Ginger's Mo' yay!

Day 10 was a day when we decided to make the best of what we had. Miss t was at home all day so she channelled her inner domestic goddess :0 I had a long day at work and mentioned my blog about

50, 000 times so sorry to any one who works with me.

As you can see it was all a bit too much so when i got home i had a g&t on the deck...

So we continue along, it's sweltering in in Melbourne but nothing's going to stop the team remember where to donate to -http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

Today's song lemon tree by Fool's garden

Day 9 in which Miss Tina has a very bad day & Miss j's is not much better

2009-11-10T00:12:00.000-08:00

Day 9 and we're still going strong but little did we know it was going to try out patience, I was unfortunately sick (hence the double posting today) so put on one of my fave comfy dresses from Dangerfield...yes i paid full price for this one which was very rare. So although i had a very subdued day the dress still looked fab.

Miss Tina had her hands full with a sick little boy, and had someone crash into her car while it was parked, smashing the door in so she had to climb in thru the passenger seat IN A DRESS!! as she told me. A continuing valiant effort on her behalf. I want to know what her secret is.....
We have donations continuing to come in which is just brilliant guys. Please support us if you can, even if it's just for a few dollars. it sounds trite but it all does make such a difference.
You can donate at : http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

Today's song to check out is a beatles classic, covered by jim sturgess "all my loving" dedicated to all the men out there growing a Mo'

Day 8....1 day 3 dresses, is this getting out of control ;O

2009-11-07T23:50:00.000-08:00

Lots happened today as you can see from the title. This morning was full of chores, shopping etc so clearly not a pretty dress time. Then off to vintage clothes market @ Boroondara so pretty dress time. The weather is sooo hot in Melb today that we were melting by 4pm which made a third dress fait accompli. Luckily for me i had purchased 3 very cheap dresses at the market. I'm thinking this may take more dresses than i realised. Special guest in today's photo is my lovely son Alex who is also doing the Movember thing. Miss Tina looks very relaxed, and gorgeous mabye she has the right idea in the heat.

The link for donations is-

http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

So it's back to work tomorrow so not as much time to change clothes....mabye a good thing. Instead of a song today you can check out this video of a lovely fashion show

Day 7 The dress of many colours

2009-11-07T02:14:00.000-08:00

Today i finally embraced the idea of color in a big way. day 7's dress is a vivid silk colour explosion. it helped that i spent the day in the company of lovely friends at a market in Rose St Fitzroy...lovely colors, and a gorgeous sunny day before heading down to the beach for ice cream and playing in the water.

So clearly today's song -

The offspring "Come out & play"

So clearly a great day for getting out of the house and playing. Miss Tina has clearly had a busy day, working and playing too! Look out tomorrow for another day of two dresses.....

Please remember what this fun is all about and donate even if it's only a few dollars

2009-11-05T23:19:00.000-08:00

Apologies about the late posting of day 5 :) Mysskitn was very tierd last nite. Yesterday's outfit was clearly inspired my Miss Tina's librarian, but hey flattery is a form of admiration. I worked hard and managed to relax with a quick drink after work, hence my lovely photo with mike, my fave Bar owner. he's very sweet to be included.

Miss Tina has also been dealing with a sick little boy well done for keeping going!! and clearly still looking fab. Also she seems to have raised quiet a bit of money we're up to $160 now keep it going guys...we're not doing this for the dresses. Please send a donation at

http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

day 4 the purple dress and the sexy librarian

2009-11-04T02:47:00.000-08:00

Hey i can't believe it's only day 4...feels like I've been doing this for months :0 first of all a HUGE mofashionista shout out to Tina's friend suzie who has also donated $50 to the movember cause taking us to a total of $100 already. you rock!

Today we have Tina doing the gorgeous librarian thing and me with my head missing lol. It was the best pick today there's something weird going on with my phone. I was wearing a lovely purple dress thou and bought dinner at Grilled cause they also support the Movember cause...and also their burgers are really yummy.

i think miss Tina is missing her jeans big time so let's give her a Wikipedia fact right back ;)

"During the late 1800s, women started to wear pants for industrial work. During World War II, women wore their husband's pants while they took on jobs, and in the 1970s, pants became especially fashionable for women. In the United States, this may be due to the passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which made public education treat males and females equally and in turn dresses could not be required of female students and dress codes changed in public schools across the United States. Today, pants are worn far more often than skirts by women, and many women wear pants almost all the time" ( except during Movember....)

Remember our cause :)

today's song tori Amos snow cherries from France cause

a: it's from the album tales of a librarian

b: i love cherries....and it's as close to purple as i can find

c: Tina and i would both love France

Day 3 cup day dresses

2009-11-03T03:01:00.000-08:00

Today is Cup day in melbourne so it was clearly a high fashion day, although we did want to avoid fascinators at all costs. i went for a classic black look a la breakfast at tiffany's complete with the black hat and i hear miss Tina has gone with a lovely red maxidress today thou still waiting for photographic evidence....and we have a late entry here from her..."Had to get the cardy out today Brrrrrr! Here’s a charming fact… I was curious as to when humans started wearingclothes and consulted that bastion of online knowledge Wikipedia.Apparently anthropologists believe that the divergence of the bodylouse, some 107,000 years ago, from the head louse, is evidence thathumans began wearing clothing at around this time. This is because humanbody hair is too sparse to support body lice without the insulatingfactor of clothing. Everybody say “ewwww!!” EWWWWWWWW!!!

While we didn't have any major wins with the gg's i think our fashion speaks for itself...it's a classic look. remember it's for a great cause http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923

Day 2, and 2 dresses

2009-11-02T00:49:00.000-08:00

So day two has presented some challenges which i hadn't thought of. This morning i cleaned the house, and whilst i found a dress to wear it wasn't a dress I'd wear to work:) So today has been a two dress day, I've only uploaded a pic of the one i wore to work :) And yes it's a weird picture but i kept feeling blah today so have just shown the pretty print of the dress. Apparently 3 dresses over 2 days is 2.6 dresses per day lol. A work friend asked what I'd do if i have to clean the house again....well clearly I'd have to wear another older dress! So today's dress is bright, pink shoes to match and a red bag. miss Tina looks ADORABLE as you can see she's rocking the dress & cowboy boots which i am sooo stealing for myself later. I think that's a cool bonus of this for me, i have my own style which is very 50's Holly Go-lightly but it's nice to try and get out of my zone.

Please if you're enjoying our little bits of frivolity go to http://au.movember.com/mospace/223923 to donate to the cause.

Today's song is also from tina

Nov 1st- the floral 50's styling

2009-10-31T18:50:00.000-07:00

The first day of mofashinista's movember has been a great success already. We are wearing our first dress, a fifties syle floral number, white with full blown pink and grey roses, including full grey net skirt. white beaded cardy (damn Melbourne weather) accessioned by pink bangles. black peep toe stilettos, black vintage bag. Off to camberwell market early for coffee with friends, then hitting the stalls.

Clearly a successful outfit cause Miss lola and i were photographed by a professional photographer for a new on line mag!

Check it out: http://www.xandymagazine.com.au/ first edition is out today.

Also we had our first donation of a brilliant $50 great start. Well it's only lunchtime so where can our day go from here? We have heard that miss tina is rocking a blue dress with purple heels to afternoon tea at the Windsor, personally i have to go to work for a while....still looking fab of course.

In more news today we have a lovely guest post from Miss Tina on her day.....

'Well to kick off my month of dresses, I spent a very girly morning preparing to wear this dress, and then an even girlier afternoon having high tea at the Windsor for my gorgeous sister-in-law’s hen’s party. It was very therapeutic being in a room full of fabulous women of all ages. It was also a celebration of my fabulous brother and their very special love story. Awww… Now I really want to get some jeans on. Can’t believe I have to wear this all day. All for a good cause. Ahem!! Sponsor me – this is hard work…'
You look beautiful babe....and in case u didn't notice her shoes are purple. I'm off now to clean up a bit and think about tomorrows dress. See you tomorrow

I have sorted through my wardrobe and put a special section aside to choose from for the whole month. So no pants, jumpers, t-shirts, jeans or even skirts for me, or Tina until December.

mofashionista...the beginning

2009-10-29T21:34:00.000-07:00

For the past few years my partner has been a great supporter of Movember, raising both money for research and awareness of men's health issues, particulary prostate cancer and depression. In case you haven't hear of it it's a great idea started by a couple of guys in Melbourne, Australia.
So this year a i wanted to do more. What could girls do to help our men out?
After much thought and inspiration from another mo sista the idea of mofashionista was born.
So what is it? the challenge is to wear nothing but dresses for the month of November, and as an added clause it has to be a different dress each day. (Also, no jeans, or leggings under dresses.) So i set myself the challenge to support my lovely partner Jus and to spread the word amongst the sisters. Along the way my brilliant, gorgeous friend Tina has agrees to accept the challenge also.
So this is it girls - the two of us will be gorgeous fashionistas all movember and hopefully lots of our lovely friends, family and anyone else reading along will support the cause financially and in spirit.
I will be blogging our progress (hopefully daily) and posting photos of the dresses.

Tomorrow i will post our team details and how you can contribute financially...but for now check out the details of the movember site http://au.movember.com/

and just in case you were wondering, my outfit today...jeans and black T...for the last time till Dec. Mo love to you all
