SOME NEW THINGS ON MY WISH LIST

NEW TATTOOS

THE MICKEY MOUSE SYMBOLISES MY CHILDHOOD, AND THE LIGHTENING BOLT NEXT TO MY OLD SELF HARM SCARS REPRESENTS ME GETTING OVER THAT TIME IN MY LIFE.

My Jewellery

IN BRIGHTON WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF CRYSTAL HEALING STORES THAT SELLING CRYSTALS AND STONES, AND THERE'S A BEAD SHOP IN THE MARKET LANES THAT SELLS JEWELLERY MAKING MATERIALS. I STOCKED UP AND BEGAN MY NEW HOBBY. FOR NOW THEY'RE JUST FOR ME BUT I MIGHT BEGIN TO SELL THEM.

THRIFTED.NET

BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE CLOTHING UP FOR AUCTION, VERY CHEAP DEALS AVAILABLE

sheer maxi skirts

I LOVE THE LOOK OF THESE, BUT I'VE FOUND THEM VERY HARD TO FIND AT THE MOMENT. IT IS QUITE A TEMPTING IDEA TO TRY AND MAKE ONE MYSELF, IT SHOULD BE QUITE CHEAP. I'D JUST HAVE TO BUY SOME BLACK SHEER FABRIC AND THEN STITCH IT ONTO BLACK ELASTIC. 
DESPITE THE DIFFICULTY IN FINDING THEM I HAVE MANAGED TO FIND SOME FROM AMERICAN STORES:


Urban Apparel
http://www.theurbanapparel.com/product_info.php?products_id=2292
eBay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vtg-90s-SHEER-Brown-Long-MAXI-Dress-See-Through-SKIRT-/370484080220?pt=Vintage_Women_s_Clothing#ht_2528wt_1141


TOPSHOP HAD ONE ON SALE FOR A WHILE BUT THE LINE ENDED RATHER QUICKLY. LET'S HOPE THEY COME BACK IN FOR SUMMER. HOWEVER, YOU CAN GET A BLACK JERSEY MAXI-SKIRT THAT IS SLIGHTLY SEE-THROUGH... BUT IT'S JUST NOT AS NICE

Maria Rubinke Sculptures

I'M FASCINATED BY THESE HAND-MADE SCULPTURES BY RUBINKE. THEY BRING A MORBID FANTASY TO THE TYPE OF PRECIOUS DOLLS MANY OF US WOULD HAVE OWNED AS CHILDREN, WITH THE DELICATE PINKS AND GOLD COLOURING ADDING TO THE SENSE OF INNOCENCE, YET TEAMED WITH THE HORRIFIC GORINESS OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE FIGURE.

“Danish-born Maria Rubinke’s small porcelain figures are reminiscent of the illogical compositions of surrealism, transforming the character of what are traditionally charming and passive objects into expressions of more taboo feelings that oscillate between desire and sadism.”

new things!

SO I WENT TO LONDON FOR THE DAY YESTERDAY TO SEE MY DAD AND SISTER FOR LUNCH, AND THEN HEADED OFF TO WESTFIELD FOR A LITTLE SHOPPING SESSION. SPRING IS DEFINITELY IN MIND AND I WANTED SOME BRIGHT COLOURS TO GET AWAY FROM ALL THE BORING BLACK/GREY/BROWN OF WINTER.
