  Alter Ego jewelry takes vintage toys, aka ‘toys that you banished to Sal’s boutique when you turned 12’ and makes them into jewelry with prices that make you go ‘b*tch please’. Seriously, they are really cool stuff, but with a drill bit, beads and some elastic found in your crafting …

  I was really inspired by the Alexander McQueen Faberge handbag I saw at The Met a few months ago. Here is a photo of  it. Although it’s definitely not as intricate as the McQueen one, the one above that I made is surely less expensive and still gets the look …

Check out these Victorian-style necklaces from Mama’s Little Babies. My fave is, of course, the fishing kitty and kitty trio and the ‘pussy white’- awww, heck, I love them ALL! I have to say the reason why I love the Victorian era is the profuse use of BOWS! Seriously, even straight …

Remember those gorgeous straw hats at the afternoon tea party before Alice’s adventures in the Tim Burton movie, ‘Alice in Wonderland’? The hat company known as  Moody & Farrell designed those spectacular hats! Here are some of the hats they have designed over the years. I love how whimsy and …

  Look at the frolicking monsters amongst the happy trees and happy seas! This is exactly what Bob Ross would’ve thrown into his paintings if PBS would let him, dammit.   Artist Oujbl (which remains anonymous) takes the fugliest 1970’s thrift shop paintings and enhances them with fun sea creatures …

For my interviews for the Russell Brand movie, ‘Arthur’, I wore a pink pastel tweed pant suit that had a Chanel- style to it. Since, my ass can’t afford a $3,000 Chanel suit, I decided to make one. I made this a few seasons ago and was inspired by the …
