I close my eyes, and I drift away into the magic night

Christian Joy costumes for Block Magazine and my obsession with Blue Velvet.

This Is Not a Pipe

I hadn't posted a good picture of the brilliance of the Gareth Pugh jacket yet, and I wanted to capture the simplicity and yet complexity of the pattern. The back is perhaps my favorite element with the triangle vent and princess seam along with the lamenated cotton material that feels perhaps just as lucious as leather. My styling is in the same spirit of the surrealist master Magritte- his exploration of identity and things appearing one way but being another. Plastic surgery make-up marking, and 'feathers'=margritte modern tribal deliciousness.

Tron Tasm

I've been living in a Tron fantasy for a few weeks in addition to my usual apocalypse one, and when I found this Egyptian ancient astronaut esque KTZ dress I couldn't resist. It's lacking the flourescent extravaganza of Tron, but it has all of the fake controls and buttons that I could ever hope for. I watched this history channel documentary about ancient aliens and perhaps their influence on ancient cultures and the high contrast of the supposed alien spacecraft technology with two dimensional artwork of Egyptian, Sumerian, and Mayan cultures is such a delicious mix and reminds me of this dress. I also feel like I'm in Giger painting. SO many good things in one dress. I also found this AMAZING Victorian chainmail purse, that I'm wearing as a necklace and my new weasel/fox/mink (?- I'm not sure it's too big to be a mink and has too many fine hairs to be a fox) friend that is grotesquely wonderful. I'm also wearing my goathair Nicholas Kirkwoods. I'm slowly moving towards pastels (too hard)- and my lavender lipstick is a nice step. Alien, Giger

The Uncaused Cause

Gareth Pugh cardigan ( I haven't taken it off from the last post), and Lambie pelt from Leather Impact- I'm definitely going back to get the long hair goat one that they have=my uniform for the past three weeks. AND ALSO: Still stressing over Gaultier's costumes, and still having TRON tasm. The contrast between the neon, grey scale skin, and animated background is beyond me.

Meet Hecate

We had to make a doll for Apparel Design class, mine is the avatar of the Greek goddess Hecate living in post-apocalyptic times. This is V of Cups for Apparel Design as well. I did four other Tarot cards, but this one is my favorite. Now to make it..

Ignore the Akwardness and Snaggle Tooth

the phantom

I love wearing things that make me feel like I'm lurking in the shadows.
Gareth Pugh jacket, Gareth Pugh suede fringed cardigan, Complex Geometries hooded dress, Justin roper boots. You should see the fringe cardigan when I'm dancing it's a phantasm of acid trailers, which continues with Pugh's fall collection theme of movement in relation to the body's.
