Riddle me this.... MCM Expo May

On Saturday, instead of getting shittfaced like the majority of my age (end of school) I did something unquestionably cooler.... COSPLAY BOIII.




As you can see, I went as Riddler from Batman Forever, but as female version, I like to do a male character because you can reinvent it and the female ones are all a bit; long hair, big tits, bikini, kinda bores me! Also I didnt have long to plan or make this costume but it was a quick and effective, and I love Batman :)
I painted the leotard myself, stretched over my mannaquin with Dylon fabric paint, took aaaaaaages but came out just how I wanted! I sprayed my hair orange and it was amaamamamzibng!! I DIDNT WANT TO WASH IT OFF.  I also made the staff out of MDF and sprayed it gold and the rest is facepaint, purple lipstick, purple fishnets and my heeled Doc's. :)

I had SUCH a good time, mainly to see all the othercosplayers, it was hard to spot someone who WASN'T dressed up and altohugh the majority do anime films which i'm not really into its amazing to see the really good homemade ones, they are works of art!!








If you enjoyed this check out Kapow, some other awsome costumes :)
And an extra pic of how orange my hair was... (it makes me sob :( )

Holiday inspirations


Dress- Vintage
Boots- Mark Jasons
Jacket- Miss Selfridges
Had Friday off and put my spare time to good use by dyeing two of my friend's hair. One had a caramelly highlight and the other had Florence and The Machine/ Paloma Faith inspired Ginger, well I am good for some things!
1 huge bottle of prelightnener and two bottles of Orange hair dye later and her hair is a shocking orange, I love it, she seemed very shcoked, but if you buy orange hair dye...what do you expect?haha
Also had a subway and a huge danish pastry with icing, custard, raisins and god knows what else in, so it was a pretty chill Friday!
Oh and bought some sale fabric, metallic diamond checks and silky leopard print of course!!

Went shopping Saturday in Bromley and got some bargain in Primark, Bought some clay and a really cool Sherlock Holmes case study book as well as some angel wing earrings from republic and 50p for 3 pairs ( I know what a BARGAIN!) knickers :) Yeh simple pleasures ;)

One of my teachers bought me this book, as a thankyou for helping etc....its gorgeous and has lovely pictures/sewing ideas inside...


I am going (hopefully) to get loooads done this Holiday, mainly little things I don't get time to do.
Have already started tidying up the garden, cut all the lavender bush back them burnt the trims in the Chimnea (so fun!) and have sorted digging over the veg patch...but what to plant?
Any suggestions would be helpful!!!

I have about 12 sqmtres or so and have tried most things the last couple of years but  I need easy to maintain, fail safe, eatable plants?!

Also I am going to sort out my wardrobes, as I have so much I do not wear they needs altering/selling and I could do with the money too!

Sorry for the poor quality photos, if I won the lottery I would defo be buying a proper camera!

something seems a little fishy...

Hairclips- Me!
Top- Zara
Skirt- Asda
Neckalce- H&M
Tights- ?
Beetlecrushers- TUK from Camden Market

Decided to wear my new little fishy hairclips I made last night from the fishies I bought in Hawkins yesturday in this post.
I did try this outfit with blue sparkly tights, hoping for the complete sea effect but...it didnt look too good!


Loads of people asked me where I got them from, and seeing as I have sooo many other things to connect to clips....I am declareing this week FUNKY CLIP WEEK!
Kept singing this all day.....

They did kinda look like Nemo swimming on my wave (hair) but they are missing the black and white stripes....
I am yet to name them myself.............suggestions welcome!

 Also, I collected the tokens in the Fabulous magazine in the News Of The World and got myself a FREE ModelsOwn makeup kit :)

It came with brown and cream eyeshadow, Mascara, Liquid eyeliner, Lash curlers and tweezers...
And that's the only eye makeup I use for FREE!

You can tell I like a bargain!
