X Japan video
Yesterday I came home after a miserable day at work and saw Liz Ohanesian’s article about the new X Japan video, which had a picture of the werewolf that I helped make - I hadn’t seen it since it was finished and it turned out great!!! IMMD :)

In only 3 days, Ralis and a small team made the actual mold, skin, teeth, eyes, and other details, I put the fur on him, another girl cut and styled the fur, and then Ralis put on the finishing touches. I can’t wait to see the video!

1213 :: Pizza Skirt for [tlr]
This weekend I worked on a pizza skirt for [tlr]’s project NVR-NDR! Here’s the concept art:
The actual skirt will be vegetarian though ::
delicious pizza toppings...

I’m teaching sewing classes at HM157!
Sunday School at the Church of Fashion starts December 13th! There will be beginner to intermediate sewing classes every other Sunday taught by me :) First class is curly-toed X-mas stockings ::
We will make these super cute, Tim Burton-y stockings from scratch with mostly recycled materials. Students will be offered guidance in hand and machine sewing. Future classes will cover pattern making, knock-offs, and group projects!

102809 Costume for My Velcroe
I made a costume for Emily of My Velcroe, for the Halloween show at HM157. It was actually really miraculous - I made it in only 3 days, with all recycled fabrics, and only one fitting the night before the show! This was the first time I had made high-waisted shorts, and I’m quite pleased with the results ::
Emily dancing with her Bear
She wanted a 1920’s-esque bathing suit and a jacket with a detachable cape. The cape was already removed by the time I got my camera on the right setting :( I had the striped fabric left over from the Absinthe Faerie show I helped do costumes on. Emily found the fabric for her jacket at a thrift store, it’s a really intricate knit of a bubbly pastel jungle. The jacket is lined with pinstripe fabric that was going to be thrown away at my work. One person’s trash, sucka!
I think she had killed the Bear at this point in the show
Oh yeah, her shirt has a bow tie too! And tails in the back :) So cute!

101709 Santiago Art Walk
I had a rack at Kavika Works in the Santiago Art Walk on 10/17, with three totally awesome models creeping around, taping spiders to people and promoting my website. It was a lot of fun, I can’t wait to see the photos! Here are some behind the scenes snapshots that tlr took ::
This was one of my customer who bought the Disfiguring the Goddess disfigured goddess dress! I can see why - it matches her outfit :)
Here’s a pic of the dress in action at my fashion show, modeled by Alecia Patterson ::
One of my models for the evening, Helen Bui :: she’s also a dancer for band Ming and Ping (I made their babies)! She has such a great attitude and personality, it was a blast working with her! She described herself as a walking highlighter, so it was a big difference to be a crazy spider lady for a night!
Helen’s friend Judy, another of my awesome models for the evening ::
Helen’s other friend and my third model for the evening, Kelly ::
John (who was the bouncer at my fashion show!) was my photographer for the evening (pictures coming soon, yay!). He was such a trooper, I was worried about the models’ comfort but never considered all the running around John was doing - so much that his feet were blistered by the end of the night! Brutal…
Myself and the models all gathered around John’s camera to see the immortalized awesomeness…
Uber-high-school pose with me, the models, Romak who did makeup, and John. You can see the artwork in the background, done by Eric Zendejas ::

I will post more thoroughly about the event when I get the real pictures from John!
