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 buy stuffed animals at thrift stores to recycle their fur and stuffing...this raccoon already had disgusting, recycled stuffing! bonus :)

Along came a spider, bitches!
I made the spider ladies’ outfits in about 2 weeks and am quite please with the results! Check out the rest of the pix below ::
KtB + tlr = epic win

I just moved, and about 1/3 of my new living quarters was taken up w/ stuff I don’t want, so tlr and I spent several hours getting pictures of all these clothes that I’m now selling on ebay! Actually we only got thru about half to a third of what’s in there before the heat of the day exhausted us. It’s a pretty intense story of how I came to have this ungodly amount of goth/metal clothing in my possession, involving an ex-boyfriend, an insane girl and her crazy allegations of rape and kidnapping…but it all turned out okay in the end :)
Here are the fun pictures! The not-so-fun pictures are in my ebay store for a limited time only (you can go to the Sale section of my Store to get there too) ::
god-damn I'm tough!
stripeys are good, I was really tempted to keep this outfit!
I have no idea how to play piano, but it sure looks like I'm having fun!
tlr took all the great pix today, what a guy :)
my new place is so cute!!! Yay for Raven's awesome paint job on the table and vase :)

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.
fuck yeah

Almost immediately after the fashion show, tlr and I drove to San Diego to shoot his band’s music video for their cover of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Brandon Like shot/edited/directed it, and let the 6 of us stay at his place, which was 2 blocks away from the beach! Here’s the finished video:

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 :)

Thanks for an awesome night everyone!!!
For Valentines Day, tlr and I made a stuffed-animal-monster backpack together. It was made out of an empty metal coffee tin, with the intention of being a cookie monster since I was baking a shitload of cookies at the time. We hot-glued and stitched him together out of a few severed stuffed animal limbs salvaged from an awesome Kawiettly Please show ::
The lips are fake leather, the teeth are white fabric sewn over manilla paper with fabric paint blood
Riff Raff and monster (who has glue-snot dripping from his nose)

We filled this guy up with Snickerdoodles and took it to a Darkmatter show, then handed out cookies to anyone who was curious enough to ask what it was :) Liz Ohanesian even pictured us in her LA Weekly article about the event!

My VCR hadn’t worked for several months, so tlr and I decided to take it apart and make stop motion animations out of it’s innards! The background was a whole project in itself - several large boxes hot-glued together with regular paper glued/taped on top, which tlr and I were drawing on w/ sharpeys. But we got a little carried away w/ experimental techniques and ended up covering it in oil, destroying all progress we were making w/ the markers…So we painted over it with some blue and yellow paint I had, but still were no longer able to sharpey it. Then it sat around useless for a few weeks until we made this video. And it has been collecting dust ever since…
Well, here are the results ::
“tlr <3 ktb”
“outdated technology makes me sick!”
We discovered pretty quickly that I was more suited to move the pieces, and tlr was better on the camera. Yay for division of labor :)
