Me, I'm trying to learn to put together decent outfits, something that can't happen in the last 20 days, more less the couple months I've been trying to figure it out! I'll get there with what I get there with...

BUT, in the meantime, I picked up the infamous McCalls M4222 at JoAnnes and am going to try to make a coat with the horrible fur selection that Rochester has, no time to mail order furs, I'll just have to make another one some other time, if I have the endurance to go to Black Rock a second time :)

Also spray painting some canes and motorcycle boots I got cheap, I'll paint them up some late night, need to think of some good detailing for those boots. And I need to attach 2 large christmmas icicles to a flimsy hat for horns, not sure how best to go about that STILL after thinking about it for... over a month? GAH! Too much to do, and too little time (and that doesn't include all the logistics of buying ESSENTIALS and planning the 2500 mile drive :) ).

I'll have to hit up target for some thigh-highs, thanks! Need to find more shoes too, gave away a pair I so want right now a while ago, figuring I'd NEVER wear them, but they'd go perfect with my plaid-mini :(

And that Coat is WAY BRIGHT! Very nice!

Wow. That utility belt turned out so fun and bright and not very, very ugly at all. Nice renovation!

Love the utility belt! Very festive :)

I also made some bloomers, but with a pair of pajamas with big, bright circles all over them and put a row of neon pink and green ruffled lace on the bottom (think Twister meets circus clown!) I think our costumes are pretty well set, unless I magically pull some time out of my ass and finish a few sewing projects for my hubby.

I'm also working on a small art piece that will be at our camp - a bicycle wheel mounted horizontally on a tall piece of rebar, with optical toys (view masters, kaleidoscopes, spy glasses) dangling from it.

That and getting all our supplies bought and packed. You know, the usual last minute scramble!

I'm moving to Cali to date you, if things with punk rock boy don't work out. Amandapalmerismygirlfriend.

I'm not doing anything new for the playa...taking my ol' regional stand-bys. Too much other stuff to deal with.

I went to Joanne's last night to get some fur (FTPH!) and wandered around in circles, going "Oooo...I could do this this this and this...."

Next year...next year.

I do have a Dresden Dolls shirt I need to chop up, that I wanted to wear. And another tee that says "Hi Y'all" on the front and "Bye Y'all" on the back...

I did a bunch of Playa shopping today.... tent stakes, tarp, air mattress, water bottle, solar lights, baby wipes, and bike decorations. I also went through all my costumes, figured out whats going and whats not, and washed a bunch of fur. I'm getting sooooo excited!!!

My sewing machine isn't working, the epoxy I bought isn't holding the flowers to my bike, I can't find somebody to help me out and come spray paint the poor, rusty, chipped dear or cut out reflective stars for it, somehow I no longer fit into the girdle I've been working on...I can't find my unicorn beard or hands... /sigh

I sewed a deep red velvet cape with a hood! Yesterday I made a tutu out of two silver mylar emergency blankets. Its really flouncy and I love it!
