I rather like your goggles! I was actually thinking of making some aluminum hoods out of a beer can for a pair of goggles I consider goggles from ginger beer bottles to be inspired! I'll have to remember that... Not my idea, so not my credit, but I have been making a pair in a similar vein and have started to write it up on my blog. It's really very primitive compared to all the much more exciting things further up the thread, but for those who're working out of a kitchen, it might be helpful. By the way, costumemercenary , it's very good that you are wearing the outfit, as opposed to the outfit wearing you... Funny you say that, since I frequently feel like outfits are wearing me. The costume is character and all that. We (i.e. the photographer and myself) were vaguely going for pin-up shots, but the cold rather put a damper on those plans and the lack of light nipped it all in the bud. The only evidence of them now is the black corset I was wearing. |

It snowed! So I played dress-up in it. But not steampunk.

We should totally carpool. You used that brush for the cat and ruined my Voodoo love spell.
Now every time I pick up the phone I hear soft, sad purring. |

Kayt, for some reason I was expecting to see a box of Turkish delight hidden in the corner, but your photos are quite enough to temp me astray without such sweetmeats (although please feel free to include said sweetmeats in any tempting astray atemps in the future as they are my favorites ) Such a wicked snow queen - quite delectable |

We were not in our finest, (saving that for the Ball in April) but we scrub up well. LOL ! The lecture was entertaining and quite informative about the "suspected murderer" Madeline Smith (see link below). http://www.theglasgowstory.com/story.php?id=TGSDH04 |

So Aetheria, Maggie Pie and Myself had a fun photo shoot this afternoon with the puppy Monroe. We ended up with a lot of photographs, and I do mean a lot. So here is a somewhat smaller sampling of the pictures we took. The daring group of adventurers. Some couples shots, some more hilarious than others. Miss Maggie Pie. Miss Aetheria. Myself. The hunter becomes the hunted! Goggle Dog! Sorry for all the pictures, we had far too much fun today. Hope you enjoy! |
