argyle-a-go-go and other stories of a clotheshorse

Today, I am playing hooky of sorts: the alternator in my car crapped out over the weekend and it is in the shop getting repaired today, leaving me abandond at home, too far from work to manage the trip. So, what better time to catch up on my poor, neglected journal… I have recently both […]

Another sweater reclaimed from moth holes and horrible plastic faux-leather buttons. This one is a Scottish-made brown wool, suede-front cardigan.

dusting off the fancy-pants

Okay, fine, a fancy jacket, then…Last night, I attended a small gathering at a friend’s place for Mardi Gras. I decided last minute to attend, so I am glad I have been tending to various crazy costume things on the side. This jacket was done a bit ago for an odd event months back about […]

doll bones @ the slap-n-tickle

Last night was my beloved Apryl’s solo show over at her own Slap-n-Tickle. The show’s title…? Doll Bones. Some brilliant stuff. I had previously seen only a glimpes of the show’s feel and decided to be the goofy designer/art-fag that I am and dress to match… I had picked up some animal rib bones last month […]
