Introducing the new KELLYE maxi dress
As you know, all my clothes are named for the fat babes who inspire me, and since my friend Kellye is Deaf, it's only right that this dress is introduced in NZSL. Should I have taken some more photos of Kellye in the KELLYE dress as well as filming the video? Absolutely. But I didn't. You've asked for longer skirts and maxi dresses, and I'm happy to finally deliver this for you! The KELLYE has what are known as 'kimono sleeves' which you would think meant they were long and drapey like an actual kimono, but somehow actually means that they're...
Surprise! Season Six is here!
I'm quietly quite stoked to tell you that season six of the House of Boom, which I am calling Happiness, Slowly is now available to you to buy! Or at least some of it is.

It's Boom's third birthday, how did that happen?
Three years ago when I very nervously pushed the publish button on the House of Boom website, I don't think I could have had any idea of the roller coasters that I was in for. The tears! The laughter! The people I'd meet! The mistakes I'd make! The number of times my heart would be full of love! The money we'd raise for InsideOUT! The swims and Camp! EVERYTHING HAPPENS SO MUCH!
