THING 12 - HOLY REFLECTION !!! SUPERMAN MIRRORS !!

Holy glue fest!!! To the bat room Robin!! I mean..erm, the Bathroom :-)
I kinda stole this idea off something I saw on tv once, where this girl had done the same thing with old comics to tables and chairs.
I have had this authentic vintage original copy of ' Jimmy Olsen - Superman's pal" lying around for ages since I had a holiday in the USA years ago and bought it in a DC comic shop.
And I had two mirrors which I hated, coz the frames were so boring.
Anyway I mixed up some kryptonite glue and got the scizzorhands going and KAPOW!!! two new vintage style DC comic mirrors - HOLY AWESOMENESS BATFANS!!!

THING 11 - Tarted up frock

..Well perhaps 'embellished' would be a better term than ' tarted up'..but anyway..its last years party frock, made a bit more special with some buttons, ribbon and silver flowers..and therefore it gets one more winter of parties to go to..so come on ..send me some invites :-)
Apparently this style ( with fancy ruffly bits), and satin is still ' in vogue' this season, according to Marie Claire, so it MUST be true.

THING 10 - Antiques Roadshow!!

Ok ok so its a bit of a cop(y) out this week!! But Ive been real busy y'all..so yadda yadda!! anyway, its the same telly, with a different face..and in GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOUR! and black n white..une HOmage to the Antiques Roadshow satr Hugh Scully..because we needed an image for the Antiques Roadshow themed Sunday DJ session at the Salutation Pub in Hulme this Sunday, at which we ( the Bobkatz ..Bailey Bobbles and Madame Tukatz ) will be bidding head to head over the wheels of stainless steel, with vintage beats, collectable breaks, classic reggae and some musty, fusty rare old disco found at the back of a cupboard covered in mothballs but worth millions. The image of the TV was cleverly and amazingly placed into its perfect background by Darren, a talented graphic designer and one of the Disko Pogo posse, who along with Lord Jim Drambui Lee, will be hosting the event on Sunday. Roll up Roll up!!

THING 8 - Mock Lobster - archive Bisque

Check out my podcast "Tukatz Podcatz !!":http://podOmatic.com/r/ADRpcy


So this is a better link to my podcasts actually - it took a while to sort the page out and get it looking niiice.

Right this one is explained on the Podomatic page - a mash up I did with DJ Dazee a few yrs back, after she heard me mix B52s with some Digital (drum n bass) at Cosies in Bristol , she decided to help me do a mash up with her original dirty jump up basslines. Hurrah said I !! ..and it was so

THING 7 ... Podcatz !!! Technology will not beat me!

Here's a link to my podcast: http://www.podOmatic.com/profile/senoritadosgatos?public=1

Because after years of deliberating about it and being a complete technophobe, I have uploaded a vintage DJmix to this ace website called Podomatic, and I shall continue to upload some old stuff, new stuff, pink stuff, blue stuff, to that site and post links on here..

infact because Ive been on holiday ( to Holland, which was very lovely, and was in fact my summer 'Holland-day' I guess) I have been a bit lazy and not kept to my weekly challenge, so Id best upload 2 hot mixes today..

the first one is called Vintage Classics and its almost an hour long , so I suggest ya make a brew...
