FAREWELL DEAR ALBATROSS

I've just had two cups of coffee, and after one I get a little weird. I'm not going to get into the details of our trip, but here's an outfit from the past week!

It was my friend Aylssa's 22nd birthday on Sunday so we went out for nachos and sangria at Foundation! Emily and I decided to dress to the 9's, but I'm having a problem putting outfits together so I wore a t-shirt.

hat - vintage, shirt - hunx & his punx show, pink button up - tessa's, sequin bow - topshop, skirt and heart tights - forever 21, shoes  - army & navy, mink coat - thifted

Skull

So my opa ordered this dress for me well before my birthday and it only just arrived today. I had to pay $28 for duty fees, which sucks. I hate DHL.

dress - lazy oaf, fur thing - a gift, laura palmer pin and special agent dale cooper ring - my shop, tights - forever 21, pink bow - goodstuffonly, shoes - army and navy

Ghouls and Ghosts

Halloween was the best! I loved every minute of the week, minus when I was working. I suck at bringing my camera out, plus I lost my flash so I relied on other people to take pictures and shitty webcam pix.

Friday Jody and I worked on my costume all day, but it wasn't ready for the night so I quickly threw on a bunch of black stuff and went as a goth. Pathetic, I know. I had on a giant black tinsel spiderweb, it looked like I was black Christmas. Met up with friends to go to 360 Glen, a night of covers of course! The Minutemen, David Bowie, B-52's (!!!), and a lot more but we had to leave half way through the B-52's set sadly. Seriously so sad about missing my favourite (cover) band, but the thing didn't start till 1, and people gotta sleep/work.

Saturday night was the big night. We finally finished my costume, and Jody's. We headed over to a house show for more cover bands!! I got super intoxicated and only remember Peaches and Britney Spears covers, then ending up at another party across the street.

Everyone thought I was a unicorn, or Nicki Minaj, or Katy fucking Perry. I was cotton candy, goddamnit!

Notice the mess of skeleton and fluff stuff we left around Jody's place, pretty sure it still hasn't been cleaned up. Oops.

Once I'd gotten completely inebriated the wig had a hard time staying up, plus it was pouring rain so my cone that I worked so hard on had completely folded over and I ended up looking more like a pink smurf.

Sunday and Monday I stayed home and recovered. Then Tuesday I was back out there! I hadn't thought much about costumes for the actual week of Halloween, so I quickly whipped up a Heather Chandler costume for a show at The Astoria on Tuesday.

I couldn't find any corn nuts.

That costume was fun, but no one knew who I was. Sadly I'm used to this.

Wednesday night I had work and didn't plan my costume before I went to work so I used what I had at work to make a Laura Palmer costume. I think I slay costumes on the go.

An Honest Weekend

Last weekend Jody and Vicky came over for fittings, we had a shoot to do the next day. Jody came over and I bleached the inside layers of her hair and dyed them blue/purple. We went over to their new house and watched My So-Called Life because they have American Netflix, which is amazing.

toque - thirfted, scarf - forever 21, skeleton sweater - DIY, pants - from paige, shoes - army and navy

On Saturday we headed downtown to an outdoor show on possibly the last day of real summer. It was beautiful and warm out and the bands were really good. Plus I had a pizza sub from Subway, it was yummy! I had to leave the show early to get to work on time though, which was sad, I missed jelly boyz.

Sunday was the day of the shoot, I'm not going to say much about it, we're just waiting for the rest of the film to be developed and then I'll be putting up all the photos on girl-guts. But I'll leave you with these two previews which I'm sure you've already seen on tumblr.
