Beast Couture

Last night I decided to debut the epaulettes I made, inspired by the costume worn by the Beast of Jersey.
The occasion was the fashion show I mentioned in my previous post - In the Company of Wolves, held at Sub Club on Jamaica Street.

Oskar & I on our way out.

We also decided to showcase our 'Finger of Glory' necklaces that I made, and our official Vile Bodies canvas bags and pin badges (you can glimpse them in the photo above).

The shoulders lasted the duration, drawing admiration from fellow fashion show attendees, abuse from drunks on Sauchiehall Street, and curiosity from passing policemen. Success.

Wolves and Wolvesses

Tonight I will be attending...

In the Company of Wolves

 ...hosted at Glasgow's Sub Club. I am looking forward to the goodie bags (!!!) and will, of course, take some photographs of the evening's events.

Chanel nail art

Done by myself a couple of days ago using Victoria & Albert red by Nails inc, a nail art pen in black, and some silver Chanel logo transfers I purchased on ebay.

It was really fiddly to do because the transfers are TINY and you have to pick them up with tweezers and place them on your nail when the polish is still wet. Still, it's quite a cool look to try now and again.

Good morning little schoolgirl...

I found this beautiful photo on Fashion Copious, a wonderful site full of all things fashion.

I love the model's hair and make-up, and the subdued nostalgia of the colours and light. I'll be using this, as well as the other shots in the set, as inspiration for my own fashion/art photography.

I'll no doubt be posting more amazing editorials as found on FC, I can literally spend hours just trawling through images and rediscovering the urge to hit the gym...

Anouk Aimee

One of my favourite scenes in La Dolce Vita.

Friday Night at the Movies

Tonight's viewing, courtesy of Love Film, will be the 1945 classic Mildred Pierce.

If anyone wants to send me one of these Mildred Pierce dolls, it's fine with me.

Call me a dum-dum, but I had NO idea that HBO filmed a new miniseries of Mildred Pierce, starring Kate Winslet. I've no idea when or where it will be shown, but the whole trend of re-doing classic films fills me with dread. I heard that there's going to be a remake of Gone With The Wind too - sorry, but without Gable and Leigh there is no Gone With The Wind. What next? A remake of Rebel Without A Cause starring R-Pattz? Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus starring in The Big Sleep? Megan Fox and Shia LeBoeuf in It Happened One Night? Say it ain't so...

Hand in Glove

I'd do all kinds of evil deeds for a pair of gloves like these.
