Halloween Horror!

I didn't go out at Halloween tonight, but I did have a kinda halloween outfit sorted that I planned on wearing just kicking around the house that mostly involved a massive set of horns that came courtesy of the wonderful Anna Kocsis, who sent me them some time ago. They are glorious and are worn around the house rather often.

I wanted to some kind of embodiment of my Taurean traits/attributes: restraint, loyalty, love/sex, love of luxury, stubborness, aggression, sensitivity. But it all involved lots of bandages (don't ask) which I couldn't afford, however I think I shall do my halloween outfit next week instead. These horns are too good to sit and linger any longer.

For now though, it's officially Halloween.

So HAPPY HALLOWEEN PRETTY BOYS AND GIRLS

Let's all get Beat Up...

Sometimes you come across an etsy shop and you just want to buy everything in it.

That is exactly what happened when I came across Beat Up Creations...

ALTERED ANTIQUE PLATES: Using orphaned and unloved antique plates and transforming them into new modern portrait plates. ASSEMBLED SCULPTURES: Using recycled, abused, broken and forgotten items and turning them into fabulous new, one-of-a-kind creations. FINE ART PRINTS. URBAN FANTASY MOSS TERRARIUMS.

Not that I would keep them all for me. Some of them are crying out to go to other palaces...

This print would be perfect for Queen Michelle...

Marie Beartoinette Print $9.99

For Wendy B ( or should that be Adam Ant for today) $150.00  Duchess Cyclops Plate

A little Patti Plate for Sister Wolf $42.00

Jane Doe for Kate $45.00 We can never have enough bunny action!

And a little Lamb Plate $49.00 for Louise 

But generous though I am, I would need to keep Jo Jo the Dog Faced Boy for myself $45.00. I love him.

Now all we need is some cake for all these plates and we're ready to rock...

An anniversary zombie walk...

Today is the 20th Wedding Anniversary of our dear chum Suzanne and her husband Dan. 

They got married on their favourite day and now celebrate the holiday and their anniversary with a Zombie Walk around their neighbourhood.

And as the gift for the 20th anniversary is china, then nothing could be more perfect than this...

Altered Antique Plate, Lucy the Zombie Girl $45.00 from here...

Happy Halloween and Congratulations on your anniversary.

 

With much love

Come perch on the patchwork ...

I love patchwork.

It always makes me feel a little bit "little house on the prairie"

 

I was thinking this Christmas, might be the perfect time to introduce my neices Princess Laura and Princess Jenny to the Little House on the Prairie books.

I was also thinking that these little patchwork poufs would be the perfect things for them to sit on while we read. But I do of course realise that the chances of our Laura sitting still for longer than 10 seconds at a time are about nil!!!!

 

Patchwork Pouf Cushions £33.00 each from here

Rococco Pop...

Rice from Denmark make the most fun things, suitable for any Palace, and these mirrors are a perfect example.

Made from resin and in a range of colour popping colours, they cost a mere £19.00 from one of my favourite on line stores, the lovely Cloudberry Living

Now we can all look pretty in pink!

Just had 5 inches hacked off...

Just had 5 inches hacked off my hair! I rather love it. Chest length and super blunt now, rather than whimsical waist length.

edit post-

I too have joined the clamour. I called Queen Michelle demanding pictures. She says it is "nothing too dramatic" But I would call 5 inches, pretty damm dramatic. Well Queenie, your public awaits...

Baby Wants Blue Velvet

OK, so this is technically Monday' s post but I'll be kinda busy all next week so not sure how the posting is going to go. These shots are shit because it's pishing of rain too so I look completely dishevelled and rushed. Hey ho.

With a hefty discount I was able to buy the gorgeous blue velvet dress from Topshop. It's blue. It's velvet. It has pockets and it's delicious. It's a little short to be honest so I will always need to wear a slip of some sort underneath or leggings, but I don't mind because it's just so damn pretty!

 
Wearing it with Le Tour De Force Headpiece, vintage tulle slip, Topshop knee high wool socks, Tristan Blair shoes

I couldn't help but toughen it up a bit with spotty stockings, Barbara Bui heels, vintage denim cutoff

We Are But Molecules

Disposition is a collection of artificial molecules designed to enhance desirable personality traits in humans. Think of it as instant gratification for temporarily reprogramming your personality. It’s the modern day alternative to taking the time and making the effort to improve your temperament.

I have featured the work of Aroha before for their wonderful silhouettes. Their collection revolves around molecular structures.

"Almost all aspects of life are engineered at the molecular level, and without understanding molecules we can only have a very sketchy understanding of life itself."

Never Mind The Balmain...

...here's the Di$count girls!

Christophe Decarnin can try and try and with his exorbitantly priced 'punk' garb but it'll never be quite right. It takes two girls, Nadia and Cami, to create the perfect studded jacket.

Made with love, sweat and blood. The way it should be.

These girls are the real deal.

And you can bet your ass when their shop is up and running I will have bought at least two Di$count pieces by the end of next year.
