Hey everyone,
This blog has now moved to tumblr. Go and check it out. It's the same, only better! If you have a tumblr account, please 'follow' me on there, and let me know so I can 'follow' you right back.

I'm back!
I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and getting a tumblr....... since I use this blog mainly to post pictures and rarely write things. Plus, tumblrs have a better look. It feels slightly treacherous to leave blogspot behind though, seeing as we go waaay back. I'll look into it. Regardless if I do switch over, I'll be blogging the exact same kind of thing, so make sure to 'follow' the new me! X
Hell on Leather
The silver studs I ordered online finally arrived today, so I was able to start work customising one of my leather jackets. The lapels are covered now, and I added some up the back of the sleeves and round the back of the collar too. Next thing to make is a back piece! I like the way it's going so far, though.

It's funny how different you can look depending on the colour and cut of your wig...
I really like the blonde one, especially as the likelihood of me ever getting my black hair to that shade of near white is pretty much nonexistent. I've tried. And failed. The brunette wig reminds me of how I had my hair when I was about 14 or 15, except mine was more red. Bit strange to see myself looking like that now. I'll NOT be going back.
Ciao, Bella
A tribute to the hot women of Dario Argento's Tenebre (and there were plenty).

Ladies and Gentlemen...
The other evening, Monorail film club showed Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (Lou Adler, 1981) at the GFT. Starring Diane Lane (The Outsiders, Rumble Fish), Laura Dern (Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart), Ray Winstone (Scum, Sexy Beast) - as well as Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols and The Clash's Paul Simonon - it tells the story of 3 teenage girls who, dissatisfied with their lives, start a punk band called The Stains who carry the motto "We Don't Put Out!".
Lead character Corrine Burn's costumes and hairstyle, which quickly become slavishly imitated by the band's legion of female fans calling themselves 'Skunks', are but a few of the things that helped make the film acquire a cult following of its own, with fans such as Courtney Love and the underground filmmaker Sarah Jacobson. If you haven't seen The Fabulous Stains, I urge you to hunt down a copy NOW.

R.I.P Elizabeth Taylor
Today I was genuinely saddened to learn of the passing of one of my ultimate heroines, Dame Elizabeth Taylor. I'm spending the night watching Giant and Butterfield 8 and wishing there were more hours in the day so that I could add Suddenly Last Summer, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Place in the Sun and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to my movie marathon. But a girl's got to sleep. Here's a collection of some of my favourite images of Liz...
Baby Liz!

It's important that Elizabeth is remembered not only as one of the most beautiful women of all time, but as a great talent and a generous and loyal philanthropist particularly with regard to her tireless support of gay rights and AIDS charities.
