Tricky Nicki

So, what’s a girl to do when in need of a last-minute Halloween costume that must be created from things she already owns? Well, if “things she already owns” include a hot pink crinoline and a purple wig (don’t ask), I think we all know what’s next… Nicki Minaj is in costume all the time anyway (a smart PR move designed especially for holidays like this), so it’s easy to throw a bunch of wacky...

Tumblr Tuesday: Cookie Art and The Casa Sutra

I’ve started randomly striking this pose in various public spaces; A cameo made from an Oreo cookie is the perfect marriage of art and, well, cookies; Yet another dude I want to dress like, bag and all; Chairs with no shame unabashedly assume casa sutra positions in public; A dressing area with a working tub and gothic chandelier is a dressing area I want to be in; These are the perfect recycled jack o’ lanterns,...
