A slight setback

Hey guys, thanks for your patience! I know ive been a little bit awol here, so I thought id catch you up.

My "day job" is that i own a bookshop. On 9/28 we were directly in thr path of hurricane ian and we sustained heavy damage. We got it cleaned up super fast (in about a month) but wore ourselves out doing it

Then, on Wednesday night. This happened: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRx1tU26/

So that's...

Poison Ivy

This is from a couple of years ago but I thought it might be a nice treat for my VIP tier :) I didn't make the corset but I did make the rest of it (the green pieces). I never ended up actually wearing it to an event! (And as you can see, I didn't have the shoes done.)

Lady D

Im getting ready to make a new Lady Dimitrescu costume (the resident evil goth babe). I did have one in 2021 but it was a quick version, and had NO pockets (horror!). Of course I had always planned to remake it... and now I think I figured out how to adapt my custom dress pattern for this character. WITH POCKETS

Regular Human Outfit

I never wear shorts but someone convinced me to try it and I'm - suspicious, but i think i like the results. Have to make sure to maintain my gothic pallor by never ever going outdoors in the daylight though 😆

Working from Home

Still no internet at home or work (and the comcast map shows my entire county as being without service!) so I'm fulfilling orders while watching Babylon 5 on the couch. Could be worse...

P.S. the bruises are from crawling around in the attic doing storm damage cleanup, dont freak out.

Hurricane cleanup

Thanks for being patient with me while ive been radio silent the past couple weeks! Internet has been really patchy after Hurricane Ian, and we only got power back at my house a week ago.

Work is a fucking war zone, I'm pretty upset about it but things are moving along so hopefully it wont be too much down time. If you want details on that front, here's the blog post Ive been keeping updated: https://www.san...

Skirt /dress update for lucifer

The greek version of the morningstar was named Phosphorus (roman/Latin: Hesperus) and was the figured associated with the planet (star) Venus

The story of this entity is literally written in the stars: like the planet Venus, Phosphorus strives to rise to be the highest of the gods, only to fail, and fall, to the depths of the underworld. The story repeats itself in the sky, playing out over and over.

Lucifer battles the gods themselves in an endless struggle, fighting upwards, d...

Secret Costume Reveal

Im officially confirmed for the Villain Vogue Fashion Show and THAT MEANS i have a secret costume! Which is super exciting because this is exactly the sort of content I want to show to patrons!!!!

Please do NOT repost or save this info since it's part of the rules that I don't make my complete ensemble public before the day of. It would be a gross breach of etiquette for me to do so, and I very much want to stay in the good graces of the costume exhibit folks so I am welcome next year...

Secret Project: Gotherella

I thought I'd reveal my current "secret" project early for my patrons... hope you like it!

Last year one of my best costumes was Beast-Hunter Belle: A Feminist Princess. I liked it so much that I really want to do subverted versions of other princesses, but its taken me a while to work the idea out.

I don't want to do something depressing or negative - even though there's a lot of opportunity for that in any reimagining of the princess mythos. So I've had a lot of ideas that I...

Corset + Bedsheet Challenge

I had to try this challenge thats been making the rounds on social media....

The idea is, if you own a corset, try it on over your bedsheet. Honestly, Im gonna call this a win ! Wish i had thought of it in college when i really needed costumes and had no budget 😆
