Our new Wellington store is going fantastically! One of our earliest models has written this lovely review: “Wild about Wildilocks” over at prettyprettypretty.com – thankyou so much Jo! We’ve had many more folks through as well and even more excitement on the horizon – a very near horizon is coming up rapidly, too…

We’ve been asked last minute to show our wares at the upcoming Black Circus II event on this Saturday at the Maya Bar.

This event is described as “An explosive fashion show featuring live performances mixed up with alternative couture. Be brave, join up with the Circus freaks.”

Details below if you’d like to come along and see Wildilocks on the catwalk for the first time in Wellington!

Date: Saturday 24 Apr 2010
Time: 9.30pm – 12 midnight
Venue: Maya Bar
Address: Blair Street, Wellington Central
Cost: Pre sales $15 Door charge $20
Bookings: Tickets available at Freak Space, Left Bank, Cuba Street, Wellington

Greetings, denizen of the Intertubes!

Interest in the upcoming event, a Queen’s Birthday Eve Dinner Voyage, has been picking up pace with ticket sales increasing especially rapidly over the past week. As tickets are strictly limited, we felt it behooved us to alert potential passengers of this development.

If you are not yet aware of the event, more information here.

_______________________________________

Also – we have a model call for next month for Wildilocks @ BASE808 in Perth for the dates of 26, 27 and 28 of May. Kat from Melbourne will be doing training with the Perth crew and we need willing victims! Pin-up & vintage styles are likely to be covered as well as massage techniques and possibly some colour work. If you are interested in being a model for these training dates, please call the Perth salon on (08) 9226 3722 to be added to the model register. Please note there will be no charge for any of these services except colour work, where cost of product is the only charge (around $20 – $40 depending on hair length)

Cheers!

Weather forecast for 31st December, 2008:

Cloudy. Shower or two clearing. Winds west to southwesterly averaging up to 35 km/h. Airships take care to tether on at least two moorings. Min 12 Max 23

Tally Ho! It’s time for all our revelers to begin final preparations for The Night Ahead in which all manner of anachronistic hedonism comes to life in full, to whit, at Euchronia!

There are still some tickets for sale @ Peril Underground, Wildilocks @ The Lockworks & Heartland Records until close of business, and we will be taking online sales for door pickup until 5pm. There will be limited tickets available on the door, but be aware that our ticket sales are approaching capacity and we recommend coming early to avoid possible disappointment if you are planning on door purchase – as well as to see all the fantastic entertainment we have planned for the evening, of course!

We have added one last DJ to our lineup and that is DJ Louis, an old hand come to our rescue who’s been at the decks since the heady days of Subculture, Revelations and Abyss, though more recently Nemesis, DV8 and Gulag.

We’re also announcing a last minute philanthropic element to Euchronia. We’ve had notable interest from the age-challenged who cannot attend our 18+ event, so we have decided to offer a free carriage ride @ 8.30pm before the Event Proper for those who’d like to get into the Steampunk spirit, and who have come up to see the promenade of people entering but cannot do so themselves. You need to be under 18 and at the venue at 8.30; a maximum of 8 persons can be seated. First in, best dressed (or perhaps the other way around?)

Following below the cut is the set list for Euchronia, to allow you to plan your evening. Programmes will also be at the door.

Hey folks,

It’s time for yet another model call! But this time we’ve got something a little bit different. We’ve had interest from a network TV crew, and we are in need of a “total makeover” model for the afternoon of Thursday September 4th. What we are looking for is someone with very VERY plain hair ie. reasonably long, uncoloured and preferably a natural colour other than black, to do an extreme makeover on. You need to be comfortable with being filmed, and okay with anything we do — which most likely be extreme bright Special Effects colour[s] and a high undercut that we can style into a mohawk. This will cost you the grand total of $0 and possibly launch your tv career [hehe, maybe just kidding about that last bit — but you never know!]

If you’re interested in this rare opportunity please drop me an email asap to: cass@wildilocks.com and attach a photograph of yourself with your current hair.

ps: tickets for Covenant/Diary of Dreams/Haujobb/Destroid/Voices of Masada/ICON gig presented by Cab Noc on Fri 10th October are now on sale in store and online, too.
