051609 :: Wigout ::

Romak and the Space Pirates played at Wigout in May, so I made tlr a costume for the Sci-Fi theme.  It was made out of scraps from other projects (some from dumpsters), a long zipper, and parts from my VCR which was dismantled earlier this year.  Then I splattered paint on it, and tlr drew with silver fabric paint.  We also made his wig together out of my old dreadlocks (yes, I saved them) and some dumpster fabric, and more parts from the VCR.  Chinashop mag wrote about the show, which took place at the stunning Bordello Bar.

052909 :: Absinthe Faerie Show at the Hive

I helped with the costumes for the absinthe faerie skits in the “I See London, I See France” show at the Hive gallery in downtown Los Angeles.  The costumes consisted of custom skirts and tons of flowers made of fabric and buttons, various corsets, and wings that Jaymie and Ariana made.  Makeup was done by RoMak, and photos of course were by Marianne Williams :)

032609 :: Delapidate / Decapitate Fashion Show

I had my first fashion show for Insidious Clothing on March 26th!  tlr planned most of it using help from his broad network of amazing friends. It was about 6 months of planning, and we learned a LOT for what to do differently next time.  But at least there were no serious disasters :)
