Hong Kong was wild! WOW, I loved it! We sourced loadsa fun materials, cute charms, kooky chain - we came home with a whole rainbow hued case of goodies. We also hooked up with a German manufacturer who creates the prettiest plastic charms. Everything has to be designed, produced and hand assembled though so the majority of items will not be hitting the online store until our huge relaunch in October. Until then you can have fun in the sun with our new anchors, leaping fawns, sparkling apples and fruity numbers. First up are the Happy Shoppers which will be introduced by the new face of Lady Luck Rules OK - Super Hot Suki Sou next Tuesday... AND a big thank you to Carissa (a former Lady Luck intern) who was back home in Hong Kong and acted as our trusty interpreter - we couldn't have done it without you! Oooh and Lucy and Frankie did an ace job too. Thanks Ladies!
My leopard print suitcase is packed and my beloved iBook is nestling in it's hot pink leather carry case. I have tickets, money, passport oh and Sam! As today is the day and we're off to Hong Kong to attend Asia's Fashion Jewellery and Accessories Fair. Hurrah! I'm a bit over excited actually and feel a bit sick. I don't like flying and the the flight is 11 hours long...eek. I'm gonna be brave though as this is a big trip for Lady Luck Rules OK - we're looking for a Far East company who can manufacture our goodies. Well just the components, we'll still hand assemble everything in London. It means we can design more of our own pieces in a more versatile range of materials. Whoppee!

I'd now like to introduce two lovely ladies who will be looking after everything in my absence. Star-Spangled-Super-Lou (or more simply Lucy) and Fun-Time-Frankie (Frank Skinner stole HER line). They're our current creative interns who are based at Superette and will be fulfilling all your website orders at break neck speed and making lots of snazzy jewellery: Lucy is working on the new Super Duper Charm bracelets and Frankie has designed some rocker headbands for a hair magazine. They'll also be heat pressing the tees, answering the bat phone and eating lots of ice lollies. I'll also be checking my e-mails way too much so you'll all still feel much loved. On my return next week we'll finally be launching our Happy Shoppers and a sweet as candy leaping fawn design...x

About the heat transfers!
The pop rocker hearts are original 1970s plastisol heat transfers picked up by Lady Luck on her thrifty travels. Each transfer is heat pressed onto the tee in our Superette studio as and when the website orders are received. Washing instructions are dead simple: pop in the washing machine on a 40 degree wash and if you iron please turn the shirt inside out. NEVER iron directly onto the heart - it'll be messy!

Finally, here is a fun description about all our pin-up popstars so when strangers stop you in the street to tell you how super duper cute your T-shirt is you can splurt the blurb Paul Gambaccini style!

The Sweet were a tasty 1970's British rock band who brazenly sported their delicious take on the glam rock image. They had several super popular teenage anthems ranging from their more pop orientated tunes: “Little Willy" and “Wig Wam Bam" to their more rock-a-licious hits: “Ballroom Blitz" and “Block Buster". Most remembered for their catchy lyrics and seriously glammed-up appearance, the four-man-band, fronted by Brian Connolly, rocked on in glitter, platform boots, chain mail shirts and lashings of make-up. You go boys! |

David Bowie, the original cool kid chameleon of pop, predicted many wild and wonderful trends, shifting his super different style and persona, influencing the coolest glam-rockers of his time. Most notable for his self-confessed savvy guitar, piano, keyboard and saxophone playing, Bowie first rose into the ranks of rock royalty with his heady and free-spirited 1969 folk rock single “Space Oddity". However his best known singles have been “Fame" and “Heroes", loved for their freaky yet funky flamboyance and anthemic qualities, alongside the truly androgenous glam rock of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. His heaven-sent hits predated their own genres making him a truly mod and influential artist. |

Suzi Quatro was once the ultimate four-way threat - a singer, bassist, radio personality and actress. This peaches-and-cream girlie had it seriously going on! Keeping the coolness in the family she began her musical career with the Pleasure Seekers and Cradle with her similarly musically marvellous sisters Patti and Arlene. Her first super successful hit was “Can the Can" in 1973, a hit-tastic chart-breaker throughout Europe and Australia, followed by “48 crash", “Daytona Demon", “Devil Gate Drive", also runaway records. Quatro married her super-cute long-time guitarist Len Tuckey, keeping to her musical roots at heart whilst still keeping it cool. If you knew Suzi... |

Slade remain one of the most recognisable acts of the glam rock movement, and were, at their peak, the most commercially popular and way-cool band in the UK. The crazy group burst onto the scene in the late 1960's, releasing their supremely groovacious rocky beats on the public, whilst stopping now and then to dust the glitter from their beards. With early 70's hits such as “Merry Christmas Everybody", their most famous song, being bopped-along-to regularly at Christmas times ever after. Their iconic and over-the-top musical and personal styles have made them a loopy yet legendary British Christmas essential. |

Elvis Presley, known more simply as Elvis, “The King", or “The King of Rock'n'Roll" (just by his mum and dad), was not only the cutest but the most legendary singer in American history. This boy was the cream of the crop, working as a music producer and actor whilst simultaneously causing the nation to swoon and throw their undies at him! He was a super-sized success, living life in the spotlight at all times and dating some major league teen queens, including ex-beauty queen Linda Thompson, before marrying his perfect Priscilla. His antics were a little too frisky at times however, as his performance of “Hound Dog" sparked a super stormy cloud of controversy over his naughty “gyrations" while singing. Jewel encrusted catsuit, anyone? |

David Cassidy was once-upon-a-time a record-breaking wonder boy and was the original teen heart-throb, acting and singing his way into thousands of 1970's girlies' hearts. At his peak this cheeky chappie was one of the world's highest paid tank-top wearing entertainers. Having had international success with The Partridge Family and hits such as “Rock Me Baby", this pouty-lipped pin-up quickly became a teen idol, earning as much as $15,000! Although no longer in the lime light Cassidy was the first of his kind, a true teen cutie with a devoted female following and a penchant for posing naked on the cover of Rolling Stone. C'mon, get happy! |

“Rod the Mod", the original purveyor of the classic mullet, is an English born hot-to-trot singer and songwriter. Most well-known for his grandpa like gravelly voice, as exemplified in his supreme-o signature song “Maggie May". Stewart's 1971 album Every Picture Tells a Story made him a heaven-sent household name, with “Maggie May" named in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll, and the totally spunky Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols regarding his second album Faces as a main influence on the Brit punk rock movement. Also known as being a true lethario lover Rod's girlfriend at the time was art student Susannah Boffey proving that even the sexiest rockers love the arty girls! |

The Osmonds were the picture perfect, all American family pop group. This cutsie family force achieved heavyweight worldwide success as the ultimate teenybopper idols of the 1970's with their candy-sweet tunes and cleaner-than-clean image. Their scrumptious breakthrough hit, 1971's “One Bad Apple", featuring the yummy vocals of Merrill and Donny, bore an uncanny similarity to the “bubblegum soul" of their contemporaries, The Jackson 5. An all-round super-dooper hit, the group even experimented with more groovy and mildly psychedelic tunes with their hit “Yo-Yo". A tribute to gleaming dental work, The Osmonds are real crazy horses! |

T.Rex, fronted by elfin like Marc Bolan, produced an uber cool mixture of folk-rock ditties and the odd spiritual homage to Eddie Cochran. The answer to Essex's need for a “token underground group", T.Rex was founded in 1967 London and found success as a 1970's glam rock group. Marc Bolan was a cute little dreamer who looked and played the role of an elfin country minstrel and had a host of rocker buddies, such as David Bowie. His kooky voice and songs were dismissed by critics at first, yet his original lyrics and alternative cat-like antics led him on to release totally memorable albums with especially rock'n'roll names, such as “My people were fair and had sky in their hair...but now they're content to wear stars on their brows". Rock on Marc! |
