Thanks to the reader of YoD who pointed out this rather strange ad for Huggies. Really, it is most disturbing. From the adults ‘checking out’ the toddler to the very special lyrics, which include the title of this post “I poo in blue” (or is it that Americanism poop?) and “My diaper is full of chic”.
It’s a disturbing piece of poopie/ borderline pedo propaganda…
So whaddya think?
Will you be dressing your kids in the special edition denim diaper? Or yourself for that matter….

The Year of Denim is now nearly 2 weeks in the past and sometimes it feels like it never happened at all, apart from the small matter of my daily struggle to NOT wear 3 pieces of denim.
And then something special happens, like today for instance.
A friend from many years ago and I have recently become reacquainted. She said to me a number of times “I have something very special to give you for the Year of Denim”.
I assumed it was some amazing denim wearable thing. But no! It is something way more incredible than that.
It’s this…
Blue Jean baby definitely make her blue jeans talk, but what are they saying?
Can you believe it? I can’t. It’s incredible! It’s handcrafted denim suit for one of those freaky dolls that drink and wee!
Check out the rear view. It’s almost sexy…
Baby Blue Jean is a little on the gimpy side from behind
Oh yeah! Baby Gimp strapped into a denim playsuit!
Helen McLean you are a true artist. How you could doubt it I do not know!
So even though YoD is over, denim goes on and on and on…

Wow.
Thanks for coming to my end of the Year of Denim Party. You all looked amazing, filling my house to over flowing with denim.
I got up this morning (shattered) to find every surface smeared with either bright blue icing or blue curacao. Everything sticky, and food EVERYWHERE! So much food! Too much food. Cakes all over the place everywhere, denim climbing the walls, bottles strewn around the place (inside and out) and me feeling not right. At all.
But what a night! I had a great time all because of YOU!
Special thanks to Schappylle Scragg for bringing her beautiful self all the way from Smellbourne (her word not mine).
Don’t think I am capable of writing much more today. On to the party picture fest…
This is what the cakes looked like today
Once again, I thank you all for your hard work eating and drinking etc last night. And FYI FiGi is a party ANIMAL!!!!

So it’s all over, I don’t have to blog everyday, or ever again, and certainly not about denim. However there will be a few loose ends to tie up. For instance, tonight’s celebration of the End of The Year of Denim will have to have a blog, with a picture spectacular of all the double denim guests.
So that will be coming in the next couple of days. And I have to thank my flatmate JKM for constructing me this incredible cake. So delicious, so sweet, so pretty.
The cake, on the other hand, well see for yourselves…
A Jeans cake! Gorgeous!

I’m back from the beach (glorious) and ready to up-date the second last day of the Year of Denim.
I have decided to wear all those clothes I DIDN’T wear through the year for various reasons. So here we go…
Baby beach hat + skirt. Why did I never wear these? Don't know, although the hat makes me look like a pinhead
I was hopeful when I bought these long legged, high waisted 70s jeans
They fit like a dream except in one crucial area...
I can't get close to doing them up
I have no idea why I never wore these super comfy high waisted, pleated, narrow ankled jeans. They are lovely and flattering
These jeans never made it into daily useage on YoD. I think the animal print details might have had something to do with that
Shirt over sized, white denim quite under sized
Cute cap but super hot, too tight shirt, way too big Fletcher Jeans all add up to quite a combination
Yowsah! Cute shorty black dungarees. Nothing wrong with these! Or is there...
Nothing wrong except a severe case of camel toe
Mum found this nice denim detailed jumper... in the middle of summer and even now it's still too hot to wear
And this is what I am wearing out and about today
Top: JeansWest lightweight denim jacket, pretend old style
Bottom: JJ’s jeans, shows off my package nicely
Accessories: Some items that never made it onto the blog cos’ I forgot to photograph them. On the right I am holding a gigantic denim print pencil case. Thanks Mum. And on the left is a lovely address book/pen/key ring gift set courtesy of AK. And o my head is that tiny beach hat gifted by my Auntie Cath
I CANNOT believe what a snobby place Sydney is.
I went to 4 bars last night, yes FOUR! And not a single one of them would or COULD serve me a blue cocktail of ANY description. One bar tender was down right hostile when I asked if I could have a blue drink.
So there has been, nor will there be, any blue cocktail taste test prior to Saturday night’s celebration of the end of The Year of Denim. In the poll so far its neck and neck between the non blue Bosom Caresser and the most definitely blue Blue Margarita.
So I’m putting the poll in again…. vote for the blue cocktail I should serve on Saturday night…
And I am not putting up a picture just yet as I have a sort of mini extravaganza of sorts planned for later on today. So stay tuned…

What a great Friday it has turned into here on my final full day in Hat Head. It’s also EXACTLY 4 weeks until the End of the Year of Denim.
This morning I got up, walked the dog and checked the surf. The sun is shining, but a small southerly wind is blowing keeping things cool. I ate breakfast, read for a bit. Then I hit the surf. And had a fantastic surf in perfect conditions for me. Lots of waves, a bit big but not too big, the water must be 23 degrees here, like a bath.
I had been surfing for at least an hour when there was a huge splash and a dolphin leapt into the air about 50m from where I was. A dolphin! After Wednesday’s rainbow it’s all a bit much!
After the life affirming dolphin/ surfing experience PN and I wandered down to the creek for a snorkel. Amazing clarity today, heaps of marine life, but none of the big ticket flashy types like turtles or rock cod. But it was lovely and I loved it and I can’t believe tomorrow morning I have to head back to Sydney.

Top/ Bottom combo: Denim playsuit last worn in Noosa in June last year, and doesn’t it show off my tan line to excellent effect?
Accessory 1: Glittery denim hat with the brim folded trilby style
Accessory 2: Denim birkies. Comfy

The holiday blog offerings are getting later and later, but not more and more exciting. It’s almost as if I am having a holiday from YoD. However I have been doing full the battery recharge meaning I have been doing very little.
I managed to get down to the Bowling Club last night to watch most of the footy. And this morning in micro conditions I managed to go for a surf. I have also managed a daily afternoon nap, several daily swims and not much attention paid to YoD.
I haven’t been on any walks. I have been on one short arse wrenching bike ride. I have drunk some beer and some wine each day.
You would think with the Year of Denim rushing to a halt in a month that I would be all business. Organising some kind of end of YoD event, contacting people to put a date in their diaries. Somehow this holiday has drained any sense of urgency out of me.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll get all fired up or maybe YoD will peter out without even a whimper, a murmer, or a party.
Me post nap, Taxi still out, Buster waiting for the action
Top: Ivy chambre vest
Bottom: Looking at this photo you may think something is strange with my crotch. There’s nothing wrong with my crotch, however these One Teaspoon pooh catcher pants are very droopy downstairs
Accessory: Next to my hand lies the hat I wore to the beach. I also took a denim bag. Honestly

The other day at work I was bored. I know many of you will find that statement difficult to believe, but it is true.
In an effort to stave off this boredom I perused ebay to see what special denim items were up for sale.
I came across some beautiful denim shoes….
Wearing these boots means you don't have to wear jeans!
Bedazzled, bejewelled, rouched, studded, stone washed, distressed, crocodile skin… these boots have it all.
And so do these ones…
A darker shade of denim makes these boots the choice of more serious denim wearers
A little more buccanner in style, these particular boots adhere closer to the jeans leg look, but also manage to combine number of different trimmings to really muttonise any look.
And these shoes are special just because they are….
Nasty photographic style almost conceals the heart of gold beating inside these wedgies
I particularly like the nicotine stained heels of the foot model. She’s just gunna get prettier the further up her body you go. And I DO think these shoes are quite practical for doing the cleaning, washing and baking in. Don’t you?
Now my own footwear today is very underwhelming. I have a bit of walking to do and unlike, Mariah Carey who claims to ONLY be able to wear super high shoes, I cannot really get around comfortably on anything more than a comfy low heel.
Having breakfast at the bar. Does this mean I'm an alcho'?
Top: Other smaller ill fitting Supre denim vest
Bottom: Denim culottes
Accessory 1: Denim shoulder bag with distressed edges
Accessory 2: Denim yoga bag, cos’ I’m going to yoga straight from the office

Aaaah Sydney. Such a temperate clime. So moderate and pleasant.
What I really mean is ‘Hurrah! I can wear jeans again!’. In other good news Sydney’s high today of 25 degrees means I can wear a t-shirt and not a singlet, and a waistcoat without sweating like a football player. All of which means you passionate followers of YoD won’t have to look at my upper arms today at least.
The last 2 weeks away north have been a gruelling fashion event for YoD. The heat and humidity in Queensland and the north coast of NSW resulted in me being unable to wear over two thirds of the clothes I brought with me. So I apologise for my lack of foresight and limited clothing range for the past fortnight.
Hopefully I can rectify the past with some stunning new looks… maybe I’ll start tomorrow. Or the day after, or even the day after that…
Anyways, here I am with my charity shop holiday haul. Amongst this pile is something I have been in a desperate search for since time immemorial when the Year of Denim started on April 30 2009. Try to guess what it is…
Trash or treasure? I think of it as booty
Top: Dragstar vest, how I’ve missed you
Bottom: Very pleasant to wear JayJay’s lightweight jeans
Accessory: Go on have a guess…. what is my new longed for accessory that I can almost giurantee I will have on me at all times? Vote in the poll….
Another 'thing (not denim) I was absolutely stoked (ancient surfer term meaning thrilled, excited, very very happy) to find was this...
People get ready for the Year of the Bottle Cutter
Yes! At last a K-Tel Bottle Cutter kit for the bargain price of 50c (I love Port Macquarie oppies). Unfortunately the most crucial piece seems to be missing, the blade that does the cutting! Of course I only realised this once I got home and excitedly got the Bottle Cutter out to fiddle with only to notice the missing element.
Back to my most needed mystery item. I hope you (all 7 of you) have voted in the poll. So here it is, that thing YoD needs most of all in YoD's honest opinion...
The holy grail of denim accessories... the denim wallet
I sense some eye rolling out there. Well fuck tha lotta youse, I'm washing the dog and taking my NEW DENIIM BLUE JEANS WALLET to Woolies

With a busy busy boating schedule this morning I simply did not have time ’til now to blog the YoD.
I was too busy enjoying the delights of Sydney Harbour, choking on a rich blend of diesel and prawn juice which I managed to spatter all over myself.
All in all I still managed to look real pretty and playful as today’s denim pic displays…
Playfully in my playsuit I scan the Manly skyline for playmates
Top & Bottom combo: Last scene stunning the crowds in Noosa, the deim playsuit makes it’s debut on Sydney’s play ground, the harbour
Accessory: Dragstar large denim sun hat, which my niece decided should not spend any time on my head. Rather it should be swum out to sea and dumped. I’m not sure if this was a fashion intervention on her behalf or simply sassiness
