I've decided I want to live in a Carry On Film. A brighter, uber colourful, kitschtastic version of the real world where nothing bad ever really happens and tense situations always end with a bun fight
I'd go back to Carry On Loving and live in this flat
Isn't it perfect?
Oh but I love Esme Crowfoot's pink palace too
I'd let the philandering old men and young boobalicious nymphettes get on with it
I'd be busy having cocktails in this bar every night
Fnaar!
Joan Hickson is a legend!
I want to live in Carry On world. Anyone want to join me?

YES!!! I love Carry On's so very much, I've watched them from a very tender age, which probably warped my sense of humour and decency. Carry On Loving is one of my faves "if those skirts get any shorter they'll have two more cheeks to power ahgagagagga" quoth Sid James. XXXXXX
ReplyDeleteHa ha, I knew you'd like this one! I was also brought on them as it were. My older sister used to let me watch them even though my mum was quite the prude. We used to wind her up something rotten. Just made them seem even more delicious somehow!! xxx
Deletemy mum accidentally on purpose recorded over Disney's Robin Hood with ...Up The Jungle - so Disney took a back seat from then on.... xxxx
DeleteI love them, I watch them over and over again as they're constantly on one of the freeview ITV channels. It must be where I get my love of mid-century kitsch from as both my Grandma and Mum were into Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and William Morris and I didn't have any other relatives. Carry On Camping's my favourite, I was nearing crying with envy over an Afghan one of the ravers was wearing when it was repeated on Sunday afternoon! xxx
ReplyDeleteI think I know the one you mean! x
DeleteOh I love Carry On films, but I must confess, only the contemporary ones, I can't be bothered with the historical ones.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I much prefer the contemporary ones x
DeleteOh I love Carry on films! As a child, I used to live in hope that they would be on in the school holidays, especially Christmas. My favourites were always Carry on follow that camel and Carry on Doctor! We had Carry-on camping on video and carry on Matron which we watched all the time! So much fun, so silly! Love all the regulars, especially Jim Dale!!!
ReplyDeleteCount me in, I'll join you in Carry On world!
ReplyDeleteThose sets are fab, aren't they, and the boobs, good lord look at the boobs! You, me and Helga would fit right in!
I watched them all as a kid. Carry on Screaming probably counts as a historical one but you gotta love Fenella Fielding right? xxxxxx
Carry on films always remind me of school or bank holidays for me they always seemed to be on then. I have always loved them such simple humour and times!
ReplyDeleteI love carry on camping and carry on screaming too are my faves. Loved the apartment in the first pics just gorgeous!

I used to work in an old people's home and then a pub when I was a teenager so have had enough of randy old men trying to pinch my bum - but you make it sound a bit more appealing. Isn't that our Miss Simmonds in the purple and fishnets?!

Very cool pix! Love to join you there but without the slapstick!
ReplyDeleteCould defo see you at that bar!
Those sets are really amazing! I can see you being right at home in somewhere with decor just like that! My favourite Carry On film has always been Carry on Screaming, my sister and I must have worn out our VHS of it! I really should try and get it on DVD, I thought it was the funniest thing ever! Thanks for sharing Lucy!

Ooooo Matron count me in ! I'd love to live in a Carry On world.
ReplyDeleteMind u I've got sore misgivings just thinkin about it - how much to get in ? A pound ?
I would like to work at WC Boggs Lav Factory because they're always on strike or be a Glamcabs driver just to wear the uniform. We could holiday in Elsbels or have a Works Outing.
Oh to meet Hattie and Dr Tinkle on Bun Ward - I'm there !
Dickinookie Lucy ^_^
OMG OMG OMG!!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a Carry On in YEARS! Pretty sure I never saw this one.......LOVE the Aubrey Beardsley print pic 3, and the pink bed, the blue frock and the yellow frock later....EEEEEEEEEEEEK!! Gonna try and get hold of this!
XXXXXXXX
Esme Crowfoot's house is GLORIOUS!!! I would love to have a house like that too. Although Mr. Coco would never go for pink walls so I suppose I would have to switch them out for mint green. =D
ReplyDeleteooh yes! I would love to live back in that 1970's world. I loved all the Carry On films much better than James Bond who was also always on in the holidays.xx
ReplyDeleteI like the way you interpret your style through your post.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely join you in Carry On world! That flat is a dream <3
ReplyDeleteSuch great pictures - the clothes and colours are so amazing. I just discovered your blog and I see PJ Harvey! Dylan Moran! Siouxsie sioux! I'm going to like it here <3
ReplyDeleteHi Lucy, We all love the carry on movies here, and grew up on them too. I don't remember this one, I shall make it my mission to find a copy and sit down and watch it. How amazing are those big paper flowers!
ReplyDeleteYes!!I'm on my train to join you in those fabulous sets!I never watched it, but the pictures you posted are great!How I'd love to have that pink shell bed!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
xxxx
Count me in too as I was brought up on these films. Love all the innuendo's that come with it all.
ReplyDeleteA true blast from my childhood, another carry on screaming fan here.
