Reposessions and Red Riding Hoods.

Well, I can't say that I've been much of a busy girl, as of late. I've been more of a... DISTRACTED girl. So distracted, in fact, that I can't even keep track of what the date is anymore. Sometimes life just feels like landing on you so hard that it takes you a little longer than usual to get back on your feet. And I tend to sort of lock myself up in my own little world of darkness when the going gets really rough, so yes, I've been keeping myself distracted on purpose. And I do apologize if I haven't been very "social" lately... (but then again, I never really am, am I?)

Anyways. I felt like giving an "inspirational creativity" update to further distract myself. Lately, I've been obsessed with the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera. It's the most visually gorgeous, sci-fi Gothic Rock Opera ever made. And the music is beyond auditory candy. It stars the legendary Ogre of Skinny Puppy, Sarah Brightman as my favourite character, Blind Mag, as well as Alexa Vega, Anthony Stewart Head, and well... the only person I DISlike: Paris Hilton. Umm. Yeah. No further comment on that. This movie was recently RIPPED OFF by some Hollywood studio and remade under the title Repo Men, starring Jude Law. Trust me, there is NO comparison to the original!!

A couple of my friends thought it would be a fun idea for me to dress up as Blind Mag and take photos, so I did. (can you find me in the collage, above?)

And also, all this past semester I had been working on making a Lolita version of a Little Red Riding Hood costume that I designed, (the photo in the middle). I finally finished it and took some photos. If you'd like to see more, become a fan of my Anarchic Designs page on Facebook. It was tons of fun making it. (Even the stressful moments were fun!). I owe a million thanks to my awesome professors and friends for the motivation and help.


And last but not least, watch the trailer for Repo! here:

I'll be back soon, I hope ;)
Feel free to tell me what you think of my costume and/or my cosplaying. Or tell me about what's been going on in YOUR life lately. Hope it's good news, at least :)

School of Rock

5. the goth kid: Rainbow of The Birthday Massacre

Did you ever have to wear a uniform in school? I did, for a brief period in elementary school. The pieces were horribly cheap and unflattering, however. I hated them. And you know that whole thing your mom does when your're little about buying all your clothes at least one size bigger so you'll "grow into them"?? UGH. But I've always liked the look of the "cool" kind of uniforms: the private school blazers with the ties and the school crest emblems. Those always seem to be a bit more tailored, crisp, and clean. But that's just me.

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of an emotional roller coaster... I won't go into details, but I will say this: sometimes in life you have to be a bit "selfish" and figure out what's good for you. If someone (or something) in your life causes you more harm than good, then it's better to cut them/it out for the sake of your own (mental) health. And that's all I'm going to say.

If it's two things in life that always makes me feel better, it's CLOTHES, and MUSIC. I'm waiting on two super cute items I won on ebay to arrive, and since one of my favourite singer's birthdays was yesterday I decided to take a break from blogging to post a picture and a quote from him every day for the past week, (in case anyone was confused). My other favourite singer's birthday is six days away!! So now I have to do something special for him.

Man, I can't WAIT for school to be over!! Just a few more weeks to go!!!!!!
