Happy HaLLoWeEn!! What a PaRtY it WaS!!




If you were at Cap Rep on the 17th, you were sure to have a good time with all of the upcycled outfits on stage that night. Mary Panza was the MC of the night and it was great to be on stage in an actual theater, although to be honest, I miss the clubs from years past.

See you next year!

ThIS YeAr'S CoRsEt

Trawling for sofas in the dead of night, I happened to come upon a very nice specimen of vintage Seventies – gold, with large flowers. I grabbed both cushions from the street, washed and pressed, cut and stitched. It is lined with recycled lime green silk. This is my corset to be shown at Discard Avant Garb, October 21, 2007.

Stitching into the night...

2005's Corset



Be sure to catch my corset and bustle skirt from 2005 at First Friday, at the Lark St. BID on Friday, October 5, 2007. It was up-cycled from painter's drop cloth I found on the street.
