So this is what I spent two full days doing. Encrusting several costume items with aurora borealis rhinestones!
Crappy phone camera again does not show anywhere near the level of sparkle, but they’re gonna be fabulous under the stage lights tonight!
My fave items are the girdle-panties and the bra. There’s also a thong and full-brief panties - the front of the panties are encrusted the same way as the thong so I turned them around to show the sheer back - you can see my butt-crack through the material, which is super-cute.
There’s also gloves, shoes, pasties and two merkins - bigger one for the front and a little one to place just above where my butt-crack ends on the back, I thought it’d be cute.
Catherine d’Lish makes these incredibly feather boas using ostrich feathers and swarovski-encrusted balls.
The “thin” ones start at $400 and they go right up to $700.
Anyway, I can’t afford that, so I made my own using turkey feather boas & styrofoam balls I glued swarovskis on.
REALLY happy with the end result. My crappy phone camera does not show anywhere near the great colour of the feathers and the sparkle of the rhinestones, but still..
This is me with a severe hangover and five hours sleep.
Merkin and pasties.

Guys my bikini line and my Veet Wax Strips With Rose Oil decided to think about essentialist bodyhair policing/misconceptions (“Feminists are hairy!” “Bodyhair removal is unfeminist!”) and so we made a present for you <3
(And no I couldn’t wait for the redness to go down.)
I hope this begins a new era in feminist vajazzling. Feel free to join me!
Oh Clam, I wish I could be half as awesome as you. <3

Chocolate Cock Candle (Taken with instagram)
Oh man! The thing I forgot about the cock-candle (besides from the fact I got wax in my cleavage) is that me and @vivianemae went out to Pie Face after the show and I gave the candle away to some random because she found it so amusing. I vaguely remember being super-fabulous and saying something hilarious, but I can’t remember what. Viviane might.

Why yes, that is a candle in the shape of a penis, lit and between my breasts.
Please take careful note of “extremely drunken eye & lip orientation”. That takes talent.
So @bagelofdeath sends me this tweet: ”Because of your list, I bought my first red lipstick ever! I love it! Thank you! ”
Can we all please stop for a moment and reflect on the gorgeousness that is this woman-babe? YOWZA!
(and that colour is sensational on you!)

When your bump is so big you gotta slump down in that low-rider to make sure it doesn’t get flattened.
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PHOTOS OF ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE. I feel like John Waters would treasure this and put it on his mantelpiece. I may do the same.
<3 <3 <3 It’s flattering enough you think John Waters would like it, but to make it onto your mantle, Clam, would be an honour that would have me gulping my tears from a jar.
Fascinating note: I took this photo for Clam, as she was, ironically, stuck in Sydney while I was in Melbourne off to a pancake date with anotherhookerblog & codyjhlsmith that Clam was going to attend but couldn’t after she got stuck in Sydney… that just went full circle, didn’t it?

I’m sharing these tried & true rules with you because I’m feeling magnanimous. This is classic, gold, cannot be beaten stuff. This is actually legit the only real fashion advice you really need. You may not agree, but you would be wrong.
* Red is the only colour you will ever really need in lipstick and nailpolish
* The higher the hair the closer to God
* One of everything in leopard-print
* Push-up bras in black, red and white
* You can never have too many shoes but at the very least have one pair of black 6-inch stiletto court-heels
* Big fuck-off sunglasses. The more you look like a fly with them on, the better
* No such thing as too much black eye-liner
* Whatever perfume you wear, make sure you wear it with such aplomb people come to associate it exclusively with you
* Flesh-coloured fishnet stockings
* Giant fuck-off gold hoop earrings
* When in doubt, bling it up
* Flip the bird liberally and often

OKAY adding a little extra note to this:
Many people ask me about accessories. Obviously, in my world, there is no such thing is “too much”. I abide by the rule “sometimes less is just less”.
But is there such a thing as “too little”?
In my opinion, to complete a look, you need only two key accessories:
- Painted nails
- Earrings
Everything else is optional. Obviously, some outfits will do better with more accessories, but at an absolute minimum, if you want your look to be finished, these are the essentials.
OBVIOUSLY, if your toenails are on display they must be painted, not just fingernails!
I also did a count-up of my leopard print items to see what gaps I have to fill:
Sunnies? Check
Coat? Check
Dress? Check
Pants? Check
Skirt? Check
Earrings & other assorted jewellery? Check
Stilettos? Check
Flats? Check
Bag? Check
Underwear? Check
Nightie? Check
Blouse? Check
Cardigan? Check
Shorts? Check
oh and remember how I said I didn’t have a leopard print jumpsuit? Have since amended that terrible situation.
There’s a few items on that list that could do with a bit of improving and I’m missing a playsuit and a few more styles in a couple of items but on the whole… not doing too badly.
When your bump is so big you gotta slump down in that low-rider to make sure it doesn’t get flattened.
My life is officially meaningless because this car is not part of it.

Not at all… I’m actually incredibly surprised myself. It’s like this enormous glaring gap in my wardrobe suddenly and without warning became apparent to me. Must. Rectify. Immediately.
Beige bras are sometimes a necessary evil. At the least have them with matching panties and garter belt so you feel put together
I am totally into dark-coloured bras under light tops, depending on the look! Fierce as fuck. Or, sometimes, the lack of look… eg wearing a dark-coloured bra under a light-coloured outfit where it doesn’t really work can actually really work if you wear it with enough ‘lick me’ attitude and remember the aforementioned caution to flip the bird liberally and often.
I had a perm for a number of years, in the interests of having big hair. I think it would suit you best on long hair and in larger curls, particularly considering your bone structure. I think you would look amazing with the biggest hair you can possible manifest and I am a fan of curls. Be cautioned that a perm will fry your hair and you will be stuck with it until it grows out. So maybe experiment with wet sets before making the commitment.
