W-I-G

I have a new obsession with wigs.

But some lessons had to be learnt.

don't buy cheap ones.

splurge and buy good ones on ebay.

Fluro inspiration

The cover of the recent Wonderland has given me some ideas...

"Fluffing" at Dome Bar

Miss Maple Rose has a permanent gig every Friday night "fluffing" the audience (in a completely non-seedy way) for the Dome Bar Burlesque. For $25 you get to watch a amazing show by the top burlesque performers in Sydney, a glass of wine and finger food, which are all base ingredients to an epic night out. I will be attending weekly to roam the audience in my own creations for photo opportunities and to rile you up. Be aware of my feminine whiles.

Come and see for yourself.

bright like neon love (and not the cut copy way)

another costume bites the dust! 

neon love is a burlesque performance i'm doing for VANITY RIOTS & VIRGINIA KILLSTYXX LIVE @ THE VALVE , an awesome glam rock gig on the 24th of feb. it's a stunning fan dance under black lights so the neon and white glow. but before the black light is even installed, the cossie has to be made.

i bought a cute neon and leopard number from kmart ages ago and decided to customize it up...

i stocked up on neon fringe and sequins...

i laid out my design before i even began to sew...

and then i started a-making...

ta da! 

there are even cuff bracelets (that's what's on the shoulders)

And then a wig as the finishing touch...

photos of the event will be up once the event has happened. 

wish me luck!

now all i need to do is find a black light. any thoughts?

next burlesque gig

another bedazzler

I've recently been working on a bedazzling bra for a burlesque performance and everyone who comes into my room seems to comment on it. Here's the beauty through the ages.

made with sequins, beads, crystals, earrings, necklaces glitter, silicon and love.
