BTS hair dye pics

The last round of purple dye faded SO much faster than normal :( Our best guess is that it was old and lost some of its potency

So today, i got help putting in a freshly purchased bottle of purple. 🤞 for better staying power this time

I've been dying my hair at home since 2013 and learned a lot of tricks over the years for keeping the mess down ...

Prep: the biggest trick is to get EVERYTHING ready before even opening the dye box. I don't use the gloves that come wit...

Spa Day for Kitty Wan Kenobi

He is getting old (age 14) and so we let him do what he likes mostly. He wants to sit like this on me while i brush him 😆

I'm still getting unpacked from the summer so I haven't done a lot of new costuming, but here's my outfit today!

Stills from today's video

I have 18 crowns, but they all fit into this one hatbox. Nice and easy! #cosplay #storage #tiara #sweetv

Unboxing, and Birthday Gifts

Im a little behind on my unboxing videos because I was traveling so much this summer, so today I'm gonna do my makeup and take photos of all the cool things ya'll sent me from my wishlist!! I'm pretty sure I already sent thank you notes for each and every one, but it's fun to show you the cool things that came my way. And my birthday is next week so it seems like a good time for "opening" gifts!

First up is this incredible LOTR keyboard that has all the letters in tengwar

Ghost Story (intro tier)

The woman in white... la llorona... the washer at the ford... this costume was a spooky ghost lady of some sort and really all that matters is that I got to wear LEDs in my corset

Home Again Home Again (lower tier)

I'm finally done with travel for the year! Went to a conference in Michigan, and then one last stop by the Saugatuck bookstore before winter really sets in. And then the long drive back to Florida (it's about 24 hours all together). Which normally isn't a difficult trip but for some reason the traffic was insane this time. Anyway, I'm back in my studio and making holiday tiki shirts this week!

Michigan, one last time for 2023

Here's some VERY exclusive content 😬 i don't post potentially "controversial" content on my socials because I don't feel like managing the comment section

But I thought about it for a few days and I feel like my patreon subscribers have mainly been kind and interested in things and so I'd hate to keep these unexpectedly cute photos totally under wraps

I learned how to shoot pistols this week, kind of unexpectedly. The opportunity to work with a top tier instructor came up and...

Business casual for a conference this weekend and I got so many compliments on my outfit

Which is funny because I accessorized at spirit Halloween

"Thanks! It was $3" is a fun thing to say when a fancy person compliments your scarf

Gothic Homemaking Update

Goth Homemaking Update! For everyone who has asked about my Victorian reno project here's how it looks covered in autumn leaves. Of course there is a LOT of work remaining but I think it's so pretty even now, in its haunted / abandoned aesthetic.

Winter will slow the work down but I am still working on layouts and floor plans and securing contractors for spring. And spending a lot of time thinking about paint colors for after the exterior reno is done! What colors do you guys think it...

Regular Human Outfit

I decided to go low key for Spooky Empire instead of wearing a big costume because honestly I'm still recovering from dragoncon 😆

But now that my hair is back to its proper color I can wear anything and it makes me happy so it's all good
