Fluffy slippers, gingham apron (specially sewn for this shoot) and hair rollers are bound to get strange looks from on-lookers… At least the guys in the laundromat may be convinced to do their laundry more often!
Set in Melbourne.

yet another cool shot, this is fantastic.
Better and better is series gets!
i do love those rollers…great image, the colours are so gorgeously retro too
Thanks all! Yes, those colours are gorgeously retro, totally agree with you there Jessica.
How hard was it to cull this lot back! I had to stop myself posting after a while but now that I’ve seen this I’m all motivated to stick up another batch :)
Love it.
It was VERY hard indeed… I think I have culled it further from the 40 down to 25 – there are too many good ones!
What an actress! Love this shot Helen… you’ve really captured a moment here… great shooting, art direction and style in this series… Love it!!!! Glad you uploaded as a series – just works so well!!!!
Wow where did you find this place!? Its such a fab location!
Hi Claire, Thank you! This was at my local laundromat in Spotswood, Victoria (Western suburbs)…. Jo and I both thought that her area would have had this style of laundromat but unfortunately for us, all the machines were updated recently.
Yes, those are my boxers ;o)…
