Of course, I bought mine on special, so I only paid 20$ for it (*proudly grinning*). I really like it, I feel like a 60's well dressed housewife in it. Did I say 60's? Does that mean... COSTUME!
Something I miss from the 60's (mind you I was born in the 80's) and the earlier decades is everyone dressing up nicely to go outside the house and people wearing hats.
A couple of months ago, I found a tutorial to make a Fabulous Feather Fascinator. I decided to make a Funky Feather Fascinator with pink tulle and Orange and Hot Pink feathers to match my dress.
See how good it looks with my dress? You can't deny me my Costumeholic nature...
Gwenyver wearing her Funky Feather FascinatorOf course, I made it the night before, only to realize that the feathers I had were too long to do what the tutorial shows. It still looks great (and funky!), but my Sweetheart, after saying it was cool, was sort of horrified at the idea of being seen with me in public, in a non-costume event, with "a dead parrot" on my head.
So I didn't dare wear it to the pub where the reunion took place.

Where as Nancy-Raven dressed-up as the "Wicked Witch of the North Shore"*, I went as a successful Costume Designer (complete with Gladiator Sandals - originally bought to be worn at a LARP event).
*And thank you so much Sweetie for telling everyone we were going to sacrifice a goat as we left for the restaurant!
As Shakespeare put it, "All the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players": every actor wears a costume on stage, therefore, whatever we choose to wear is a costume, especially since we often plan our clothes according to the impression we want to give. That is Gwenyver the Costumeholic's philosophy!
And yes to that ! :D
ReplyDeleteIn their teeth, Clinton and Stacey ! XD
Actually, I'm a fan of the show and I wouldn't mind being nominated, even if it means getting rid of some of my knee length striped socks!
ReplyDeleteI watch the show just for the love of hating them, and I would HATE being nominated.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the people normally deserve the change, I just happen to dislike half of what they buy in the end, and do not find it that extraordinary (even if sometimes better). Also, I think the animators' attitude is nasty and very often insulting (this said, it all depends also on the nominee attitude, but somne don't deserve it at all.
So many things I won't say for now...
High heel shows might look sexy but there is NO WAY a scoliosis girl can feel conformtable in her hold body wearing these.
Grrrrr
