My next burlesque costume.

Seriously.

Found this on Litter’s blog (P.S. go check out their bling. It’s fucking awesome I often share their posts). Well, it’s off to the craft/thrift store for me ;)

One month to go!

That’s right. One month to get my butt in gear for Burlesque Noir’s Greatest Tits show on May 23rd at the Launchpad.  I’ll be returning to the burlesque stage and hopefully make an ass out of myself (natch).  I am confident with the solo I have choreographed. I just need to practice and practice. The costuming needs to be worked on.  I’m still looking for that one accessory to push it over the top.  There’s only so much glitter can do.  I want to make a nice fascinator and matching clips to go on my shoes.  Methinks a trip to Hobby Lobby I should take.  I wish Vitas was here to help.  He’s pretty fucking fierce!

Costume Inspiration: Peacock feathers

Or big cock feathers as my boyfriends niece would say.
I absolutley love the colors and shape of peacock feathers. They make any blah outfit pop and this seasons feather trend is featuring fantastic peacock feather accessories.
I just ordered a package of 24 feathers for $7.99 from Oreintal Trading. I can't wait to cut them up and make hair/shoe clips, earrings, necklaces, and maybe a fan.


Here's some awesome burlesque costumes and accessories using peacock feathers.

Cathrine D'Lish and her amazing dress. She made it herself.

While I am not a fan of feathers + spirit gum , these look stunning and are sold out. :(

There are many many more peacock products. I wish those feathers would hurry up and get here. I'm ready to craft.

Frak. Yes!

My mom knitted me a cylon hat. I frakking love it.

That's a cylon.

Here's where I found the pattern.
