Hi there,

My name is Kirsty, also known as Miss Kitty Kaos.

Originally from the UK, Mr Kaos and I have been lucky enough to call Christchurch home since 2014. As a construction Quantity Surveyor, I am heavily involved in earthquake rebuild work, spending my working days stomping around building sites in hi-vis, hardhats, and steel-capped boots. It’s not until after “tools down” that my passion and love for all things vintage and retro comes out to play.

I have a strong passion for retro fashion, particularly from the 50s and 60s. Through immersing myself in the New Zealand Pinup scene I have been fortunate to meet so many lovely ladies through attending hair and makeup workshops, and seeing them at car shows and events. The last 6-12 months have seen the Pinup scene in Christchurch explode. I’m part of a group called the ‘Canterbury Pinup Belles’ who like to organise events for local charities. We recently raised $1500 for a local pre-school by organising a Rock n Roll Dance in Christchurch.

I am lucky enough to have been selected as one of the top 10 finalists for Miss Pinup New Zealand, which is held at an event in Auckland called Very Vintage Day Out on 28th October (www.veryvintage.co.nz).
I am the only one from the South Island and need your suppot.
Online voting for ‘People’s Choice Pinup’ starts today (11th September), if you are able to help me share and promote this experience and this scene, please contact me by email (misskittykaos@outlook.co.nz)

Many thanks,

Kirsty

Have you seen this butterfly?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

New Zealand's endemic southern blue butterfly (Zizina oxleyi) is now common only in Otago and Canterbury. Small populations of the southern blue can still be found within the wide distribution of the common blue in the North Island, but their future is unclear.

Square, plain and not much to get excited about. We are looking for someone who might know a little about landscape design, what plants to put in etc. Thinking of a summer project to redo it all. Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.
