I wish my name was Tallulah.

Even now I’m a grown-up, Tallulah is one of my primary fashion icons.  (And it goes without saying that Bugsy Malone is still a really, really great film.)

“Listen, honey – if I didn’t look this good, you wouldn’t give me the time of day.”

A fictional gangster’s moll played by a child?  Yeah, sure.  Why not?

Get the look?  Hope & Harlequin in Brighton is the absolute best specialist for 1930s dresses.  Their stuff is so bloody pretty, it actually almost makes me want to get married. Preferably to Bugsy, not Fat Sam.  And especially not that dick Dandy Dan.

Also: if this video doesn’t make you cry with joy, then we probably can’t be friends.
