Bride of Frankenstein How to Hair Do

I decided to do a spin on my favorite horror classic the Bride of Frankenstein in reverse black and white. I used my own hair which was frightening in itself. I feared the outcome but just went for it. I sponge rolled my hair the night before. It was about 2 days dirty. I began with small-ish strands and used the tiny size rollers. It's important to wet the hair either before or after rolling with a water bottle to set. The result panned out, my hair was effortless to work into electrocution. I began to tease it and placed a sponge cone (typically for flower arrangements) at the crown of my head. From there I continued to work the hair by rating, spraying hairspray and pinning my hair to the cone. I pinned two black extensions to the sides.

Take on Venus

In September my friend Shannon and I went to The Legion of Honor in San Francisco to see the Man Ray - Lee Miller exhibit. It was moving and I'm so glad we caught it in time. This years Halloween costume is influenced by Lee Miller's character in Jean Cocteau's short film Blood of a Poet which the museum also had on display. It's a take on Venus Di Milo. I constructed the arms out of tin cans, cardboard and paper mache. I also made the dress which was way more of a pain than those stumps. It was a long process but fun and worth it.

I MARRIED A DEAD MAN

Inspired by the film, I went ahead and finally married. Sure he can't cook me breakfast, but at least I know his love will never stray. Below is a dress I recently re-purposed.

Knock Off Coco Chanel

Coco & Igor is a film based on the love affair of legendary designer Coco Chanel and Classical giant Igor Stravinsky. The creativity of these two is unprecedented, I'm a huge fan of both. I love the classic elegance of Chanel. Simplistic and bold. Igor's genius was ahead of it's time. The movie was stunning, with it's amazing beautiful interior design, re-creating Coco's beautiful home, a montage of her trademark black and white.

I got the idea from the movie to recreate a plain white vintage dress I've had around for years. I had it taken in significantly and I added ostrich feathers around the neckline. Here is a clip from the movie and my dress for comparison.

101 Shades of Pink

A look inside the medicine cabinet of a co-worker. I've never seen anything like this and felt it was too good to pass up. She is a lot of lipstick's lady.
