News
Hello dear friends and watchers!
I'd like to start off this update with a link (Please make sure your volume is on)

[link]

Thank you. Now on to less important stuff! loljk


I don't have much to update you guys on, honestly. I would like to thank all my loyal DeviantWatchers and all the New watchers too! Thanks so much for your support guys! I really appreciate all your faves and the lovely comments you leave. Thank you so much!

I don't know if you've noticed/care, but I've added the Twitter app on my DA Profile page... so, myeah.

Mmmmm what else? I've been working on more 1950s dresses... I went to a vintage sale yesterday and bought soooooooooo many pretty things. I will post pictures, but most likely in my scraps.

Saturday I went on a Steampunk expedition with the local chapter of Steampunk enthusiasts, hence the reason for my recent Steampunk photos. I had asked *chocomalk and *T-Hip if they wanted to come along, because I thought it would be really interesting to have photos from photographers with different styles. Everyone had a really great time, and I definitely want to do more of this. I had great plans for a brand new Steampunk costume, but after finishing my friend's wedding dress (still waiting for photos...) I sorta needed a little break from sewing. I KNOW?! a BREAK, you say?! I know, it's absurd. Anyway, I had this great plush tiger print fabric in beige and dark chocolate brown that I wanted to use. I didn't have time to design a proper costume, and I didn't want to regret wasting the tiger stuff on something hasty, so I waited. I ended up using my 1886 walking skirt for the bottom half, an old leather bustier and I made a new Edwardian blouse in cotton, and the whole thing came out quite nice I think. Hopefully I will have more piccies for you soon darlings!

What else... oh yes! Some of the pictures of my steampunk costume will be available to use as stock images, in my stock account, so check in once in a while to see if they're there yet.

Holy! How on earth was I NOT watching you before? Soooo much costume goodness! It must be great living close to someplace historical like Quebec City. The photoshoot opportunities would be endless... Love your work! Can't wait to see more. :D

Devwatch... why aren't we best friends yet? Can we talk about your talent for a bit? Where are you from? Quebec City is AMAZING during Fêtes de la Nouvelle France, and in fact *superkingkongmehamehasecret* I'm thinking of making myself a 17th century young gentleman bourgois outfit for next summer. Yay for crossdressing!

Gah, I know, eh?! Just when I think I've got tabs on all the best costumers... I live just east of Calgary so there isn't many really historical looking places here unless you want to costume late 19th century stuff (nothx).

OMG, your bourgois outfit would be the COOLEST thing! No one ever seems to really get into the 17th century, at least that I've seen. Did you have a particular decade in mind? Those baggy breeches and the huge hats = :heart: x 93893485. Double yay for cross-dressing!!

Oh yeah, there isn't much in that area in terms of historical fun-ness. I recently made a trip up the Gatineau hills across the river from Ottawa (where I live), in search of McKenzie King's estate. He was the 10th prime minister of Canada, and owned a big chunk of land on which he had built several cottages for his enjoyment and that of his friends and family. He was also a big fan of old architecture and rescued several pieces from crumbling buildings and set them on his property. It was really a magical visit. There are tons of things around here. Not to mention the Chateau Laurier - WHAT a building! It's like a freeking castle!

I quite enjoy the gentleman in blue in the lower-right of this image [link]

Or something like one of these dapper gentlefellows [link] Pink tights FTW!
What do you think?
I think you should try to make your way to Quebec city for next summer. I know it's far, but you get to play dressup for a week!
