Hello!
We are The Iron Maidens - a brand new, super duper, brightly coloured and alternative branch of The Women's Institute based in Liscard, Merseyside.
Brought together by an 'ageing metaller with a sewing machine and a dream' we have one thing in common: we don't like tweed. Things we DO like include (but are not limited to) Burlesque, Vintage Lifestyle, Steampunk, Tattoos, Roller Derby, Pin-Up Glamour, Gothic, Rockabilly, Punk, Heavy Metal, Crafting, Baking, Learning, Socialising, Helping, Participating, Raising Awareness and Helping in the Community.
We are, to coin a phrase, not all just jam and Jerusalem.
We meet on the second Wednesday of the month at Misty Blue's on Manor Road in Liscard and we welcome any and all women who wish to join us as new members.
Last month we had our very first official meeting, and we were lucky enough to enjoy a vintage glamour inspired hair and make up demonstration from the very talented Betty and Lily of the Vintage Pamper Box. We learned how to create a faux 'Bettie Bang' and victory rolls as well as how to properly apply liquid eyeliner and red lipstick. Remember ladies, blue-toned reds. Finally we learned how to make the most of our eyebrows. It was great fun, very informative and Betty and Lily loved us so much they decided to join and are now members as well.
We also elected our president, the amazing (though vertically challenged) Sami Score.
And formed our committee:
All in all, we had a bloomin' wonderful time and we look forward to our next meeting on December 12th.
We hope to see you there!
