FunkyFanny's new gal on the scene...Feisty Fanny



Pssstttt...Hey, over here!
It's me, Feisty Fanny, the new kid on the block
Hey girl Hey!

A Brooklynite by default these days
This little Haitian girl will always claim Queens 'til I die

Even Akeem, the prince of Zamunda knew what was up with us gals
"Where in NY can one find a woman with grace, elegance, taste and culture?"
"A woman suitable for a king? Queens!" :-p

Gummi Bears, sunshine warming my skin, good belly laughs
Dancing until my eyeballs sweat and Sean Connery
These are a few of my favorite things

S-A-L-E is a 4-letter cuss word in my vocabulary
I just can't resist 'em
Much like a well placed F-bomb to emphasize a point!

Just for kicks I play the
"Quick, what song uses _(insert word here)_ as a part of its lyrics?" game
Usually in the middle of conversations
And depending on who's around
You may even get the accompanying choreography
ONLY if you're lucky!

I can't think of one thing that feels better than being draped
From head to toe
In authentic, one of a kind, perfect fitting vintage marvels...
Well, Obama in office for like EVER is a really close second
(Forever ever? FOREVER EVER!)

A lover of words, effortless style, laughter
Good music and great personalities
I want to make the world my playground
Forget your playlist, put your passport on shuffle...
Now that's what I call living!

Sending spunky, infectious energy and love,

Feisty Fanny

HOW WE DOIN?!?!?!?!..A FunkyFanny's Field Trip experience..

Team FunkyFanny's ventured to the Hot Pink Leopard printed haven of the
"How u Doin" queen of TV, Wendy Williams

WOW..HELLZERYEAHZER..and more WOW
are the only words that could possibly express the level of enjoyment we had..

From the 9am dance battle to Wendy in her full fabulosity(MS.HONEY SERVED IT BTW!) to the passionfruit mimosa partaking after the show..
WE HAD A BLAST!!!

As you know..FF Field Trips are normally for large groups but unfortunately we were limited to a small number of tickets (Wendy's show is on FIRE right now)
so we grabbed some of our FavFanny's and did the damn thang!

Now before you go thinkin about all the reasons why it sucked that we couldn't bring along more of our FavFanny's(cuz it did) trust in these words..

BABY..WE..SERVED..IT!


In True FF style, our ladies came effortlessly fabulous and looked AMAZING!

Feast your eyes upon the experience!

FunkyFanny's tip of the day..

Have you ever found a great Vintage piece that's missing buttons?

We have..and boy oh boy can it be a bummer!
Don't fret my dears..There's a simple solution for that.


Remove the existing buttons and add new ones or Vintage "new" ones

BAM!! 
An old classic with a modern twist or an old classic with an old classic twist


Either way..It's a WIN!


Search your local fabric and arts and craft stores
They have loadsa buttons..cool ones too we bet..

Give Ebay and Etsy a peek too..

We've found some AMAZING choices there.

 So Go..Be one with the button universe and make that fab new find work for you!


Big "make it work" hugs

I scream You scream We all scream 4 Ice Cream..

It just so happened to be an extraordinarily sunny afternoon when we found ourselves taking a quick break from prancing around in the vintage wonderland to
go on a quest..For one of the most delicious treats any girl could ask for on a sunny afternoon... ICE CREAM!!

We stumbled upon this hidden gem called The General Greene on Dekalb Ave in Brooklyn.

Here we met Liz..the ice cream goddess.

She was posted behind her tiny ice cream cart with her security bulldog Oliver

(He watches over the ice cream cuz ya never know when ice cream thieves could strike!)




She let us taste a sample before indulging in two scoops of our choice. Never in all the years of living on this green earth have I tasted ice cream that was so pure and smooth...I thought I had died and gone to ice cream heaven!!

Liz briefed us on why The G.G. is so unique. For starters they don't use eggs!!
This makes for a more powerful flavor..
It's definitely lighter on the palette and still leaves an impact on your taste buds.

(Liz served me up two scoops of vanilla coconut almond ice cream on a sugar waffle cone.)

We asked Liz about her favorite flavor,and it didn't take her long to choose..
"Brulot Chip!"

 Brulot chip is inspired by the famous New Orleans coffee. It's a dark roasted creole coffee thats spiked with brandy, spiced cinnamon, and orange peels chocked with delicious chocolate chips.
Y-U-M

Such a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
We walked..chatted with Liz over ice cream..she showed us their supercute ice cream cone t-shirts and we
 pranced back to the vintage wonderland with happy hearts and tummies.



Oh by the way!!
Oliver the official ice cream security dog wants you to know that
even though the weather has changed you are more than welcome to come inside and enjoy their ice cream no matter the season and "WOOF" (his words not ours ;-)

Peace/Love/Free Hugs

Haiku 5-7-5 by FoxyFanny..Fall days

Fall to me means
Brisk days, leaves turning gold,
wearing my favorite vintage leather jacket wrapped in my beloved rose printed scarf,
and cozy days filled with hot chocolate.

A haiku to fall days

Dry leaves on the ground
Ponchos, jackets, coats and hats
The city breathes cold


Peace/Love/Free Hugs

FunkyFanny's tip of the day..

Invest in a great tailor.
You get the benefit of wearing a unique Vintage piece that fits you perfectly.
SCORE!

We all have different body types..Some bigger here others smaller there..
It's just the way it is..so turn that "It doesn't fit me" frown upside down..There's hope!
A tailor can create the perfect silhouette for your body..and believe you me..
A good one is worth their weight in gold



So don't give up on that dress that's 2 sizes too big..
Customize it,Channel your inner Goddess,and STRUT Ms.Thang!


Big "make it work" hugs
