💗boys wear pink💗 I’m so proud of this costume and I would like to tell you about it. My New Years resolution was to buy no new costumes this year, which has been VERY hard. But a very good choice for personal growth. I have made so much stuff, and learnt so many new skills, and saved heaps of money.
This policy did however pose a bit of a problem when I needed to create something extra special for last weekend, with not enough time to do any of the work myself. 😬 But I’m so glad I resisted the urge of online shopping cause this scavenged Frankenstein of a costume turned out so nicely and, even better, it’s soaked in love from some of my favourite makers. So!
🧥 this suit was bought second hand off in 2023, originally made by actual magician .
It was cropped altered and stoned by - actual angel.
👗 bustle was originally a huge ball gown made by legendary worn for my solo show in 2020 (!) that I’ve been dying to do something cool with since. It’s a gorgeous piece with good memories and now it gets to live another life!
👖 pants turned into tearaways by go-to alterationist
👩‍🦰 hair is an old wig from a failed trans pride stripe wig experiment, I constructed the custom Hugo pomp base with it, it’s styled by and .lillie did some clever fake dark roots on it.
🩱 leotard originally made by for my sexy priest act, dyed pink for this by .
🎶 Custom (wo)man’s world edit done by (not strictly costume but worth a mention)

This first pic is from the first try on at 2am with me and Rochelle, when we realised it wasn’t going to look totally dog s**t. Which, understandably, was quite a nice moment.

So yeah! It take a village! But I’d do rather give money to my mates than to fast fashion. There’s still heaps more I wanna do it! Add a dickie, stone the boot soles so that pink better matches the rest of the cozzie, more stoning generally. But! It’s a cool project! I am proud! Thank you for reading!

Park nap 🌳 If you saw me asleep, in full drag, in the the Carlton Gardens in the middle of a 16 hour day - no you didn’t. PS - come to Hugo’s Rainbow Show this weekend in Naarm, thanks.

It’s ‘s birthday 🎉 This bish is the BEST. I have never met anyone who adores and devours alternative arts with the same obsession as me. We met because we kept crossing paths at the same shows and basically never stopped 😂 This legend is now my pseudo manager and craft buddy and confidant and show-date-mate and therapist and bestie all rolled into one. She is one of the most optimistic and generous and smart people I have ever met. It’s a true joy to have someone to share the banal details of my wildly niche arts job with. Rochelle makes the world a sparklier, kinder and more interesting place. Go wish Rocky a happy birthday, go rhinestone something in her honour and support local drag! 👏
