Picking out my favourite shots from the Hootchy Kootchy Best of the Best show! This one by Octane Images is top of the list so far.

The rather spiffy new online sock and stocking shop can fulfil all your alternative leg coverage needs, and I was lucky enough to model for them!
Head over to their store and see if you can find my legs, and find some awesome socks while you’re there…

Aethercon 2013 – My Top Picks!
As promised, some of my personal favourites from Aethercon Auckland. Photos courtesy of the fine folks at Directive Photography and Darkroom Photography!
You really can’t go wrong with jet pack wings (here’s hoping she doesn’t pull an Icarus), a tentacle face mask and an assortment of weaponry. Don’t even get me started on that girl with the gun on her shoe!
Aethercon 2013 – My Costume
So Aethercon 2013 was last weekend! Such a busy weekend with so many amazing costumes to see and people to meet. A lot of you stopped by the Cog & Compass stand to say hi which was fantastic!
James and I debuted the full “Pretty Persuader” costume which went down a treat (we won first prize in the fashion contest!), but I can tell you, that sucker gets heavy after a while!
Here’s some of my favourite shots of the completed costume…
(These photos by Directive Photography and Darkroom Photography, they rock!)

You can see a whole album of this costume here, or see about a million photos from the Auckland Aethercon event here. I’ll be posting more of my personal favourites from the day soon!
2013: The Busiest Year Ever
Hello my little dumplings!
Every time I visit I feel I must apologise for my long absence. Therefore, please accept my sincerest apologies.
2013 shall forever be known to me as “the year everything happened at once”. I’m preparing for Aethercon Steampunk Convention, a burlesque show, a family wedding, and doing Sunday markets all at the same time! Do people realise the year will continue after June? Spread things out a little!
Anyway, rant over. Here’s what I’ve been making lately, they’ll make their debut at Aethercon.
Reversible obi style belts: comfort, versatility and badass style all in one sweet package. Ranging from $55 – $65 these flattering belts define your waist in all kinds of good ways. They’re all handmade by me, and there lot’s more styles yet to come!
