We can do it!






Sneak peek of the next post ahahaha!

Not the greatest post (blurry photos :P) but hey another day, another look! We can do it! Who doesn't love Rosie the riveter! Behind every great man is an even greater woman (: The shorts were originally long trousers that I cut up and frayed into shorts, much more me! Although rosie didn't have it, I decided to roll my hair up into a little vintage fringe. I think it really helped to pull this whole look together. I wore this outfit to school (minus the makeup and hair), so its completely wearable for everyday wear. Alright, back to theatre homework for me!

Forever shall I stay.





I used liquid liner to draw on these tetris inspired blocks ahahaha









HEY Y'ALL!
 Confession time! When I was little, I was absolutely TERRIFIED of the corpse bride! The eerie thought that she was forever waiting at the alter was enough to frighten my asian bones. So being the weirdo that I am, decided to dress as my version of the corpse bride. She's more sleep deprived, much blander and slightly crazy (some tetris-y thing going on on my right arm). The dress was from a drama production I was part of where I was playing a mental patient (surprise surprise!). I simply cut off the sleeves, adjusted the length but I wanted to retain the straight shape as I think it gives it a much more ghostly appeal. No shoes for bonus hobo chic! The best part of this was doing the makeup! Took me about 45 mins as I kept going darker then lighter then darker then lighter etc. It was super fun to completely disintegrate society's perspective of beauty. Now all I need is to wait for my groom to arrive..
More costumes to come! (:
