I Was a Steampunk Stripper

posted by Gidge Uriza

Well I didn’t bulesque up for the Vaudeville Party last night because I had this badass steampunk gown I’d gotten a couple of weeks ago for a party that fizzled and BY GOD I was going to wear it somewhere.

And since I couldn’t find a proper  George Burns costume I figured this would do nicely for a vaudeville theme. After all – ALL Vaudeville acts weren’t T&A!

But of course as the bulesque music of the night wore on and everyone else WAS dressed in fantastic and gorgeous bulesquery……well…….I simply declared myself a Steampunk Stripper.They’ve got those – right? Continue reading

New Year's Eve – Last Call For Dress Up!

posted by Gidge Uriza

If a fancy cocktail gown is what you are looking for, Ingenue has shared this lovely gown Fraxinus that is perfect for a dressy cocktail look. I love the bright crimson red.

This one is just a quickie – again the suit is the awesome tux from Musashi Do on my hubby Silo. Versatile – isn’t it?

I turned my husband from a robot into a hooman to show all the girls (and heck guys too) that there is a great option for dressing up your man this New Year’s Eve.  The PARTY IN VENEZIA tuxedo from Musashi Do just HAPPENS to have a vest which PERFECTLY coordinates with the BROCADE PRINCESS gown – also from Musashi Do.

This brings you a great cohesive style as a couple without that lame “Oh they wore matching outfits how cute” look. These are not matching outfits – rather they are formal wear made to coordinate and compliment each other. And it’s perfect for New Year’s Eve balls and events!

As a girl dressing a boy AV for only the second time (the first time was when I dressed us Winter) – I was a little bit worried about figuring it out cuz MAN this tux has options. My husband was finishing up some other things so I was left to my own devices for a while running back and forth between two computers trying to figure it all out.  And there is where I have to share something AWESOME.

You Make Me Weak…I Wanna Die……

The recent release of this chemise by Milady’s Fancy had me in mind of that great tune by Journey – Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’ which isn’t nearly as sexy and romantic as it possibly could be – if you listen to the whole thing. But that first line…..it’s sooo passionate.

It was the first thing I thought of when I slipped into this.

And I didn’t put on a skirt shape. So enjoy the bootie. That’s right! I’ve got the big bootie and I don’t care!

I happen to know that some people LIKE their girls with curves! So there!

No Stiletto Moody Boots Were Harmed in The Wreaking of This Vengeance

Ever keep an outfit because you just KNOW you’re going to have a use for it some day? That was me with the Petite Fight Club by *LINC*- I just knew some day I’d have to throw down in a girl fight and I wanted to be dressed for it.

Think of All the Fellas That I HAVEN’T Kissed!

– Santa Baby

This festive sweater from Khush is a great Christmas gift that I’ve unwittingly used to continue our red and black theme! Great minds think alike, I suspect. This is just a quickie tonight as I’m busy busy but wanted to show you this fun piece from a creator that is relatively new to me.

Some Ting Chinese

posted by Gidge Uriza

I got the sweetest notecard a week ago, asking me if I minded if they sent over a couple of chinese costumes for me to look at and possibly blog. I said sure and made a note when they came over.

I got a landmark – but no store name.

However, I tried on this TING ensemble and thought it was cute – you guys know I love Asian influence and this one comes with the hair and the shoes (that are as different as the cowgirl boots canada) so I decided to find the name of the store and blog it.

Except, I couldn’t figure it out. The creators info is all in Chinese. The store is a kiosk on top of a huge build.

So here is what I know – you can get this cute outfit and other Chinese costumes HERE. The name of the store MIGHT be Tian Xia Hu or that might just be the whole shopping complex. I have no idea. Continue reading
