Since Ginger is dying for me to tell you about the EXTRAVAGANZA (think Moulin Rouge burlesque meets dark fairies while on a mysterious caravan trek through pre-British India). I thought I’d hint around it by telling/showing you some things I’m loving today.
There are makeup tutorials on Youtube!
Watch out Ginger. You so ARE going to be doing some trannylicious eye makeup! Why did I not think about Youtube in this light? It’s also kind of awesome to look at other people’s wedding videos. Tis lurking at its FINEST!
I’m having trouble finding the right tikka for me (no, I’m not spending $400), but I have seen a couple of Atelier Aimee knock-off gowns which will inspire the my frock’s skirt (I’m taking a purchased bustier embellishing it and adding sleeves or a fancy shrug). Such as this one:
Finding Ginger, et. al.’s cute bustiers and feather hair fascinators to go with the plain long skirts and fancy bustles (to tie on seperately and to match each maid’s unique bustier) I’m making is easy, but what would a D&D fighter wear? Seriously? The best I can come up with on Ebay are some cool boots and leather arm braces. I’m thinking this could go very Robin Hood-y fast. 😦 I wonder if I could get Paladin to wear this hat?
The leather swing (built for two, of course) studded with rhinestones is also easy (you know everyone’s going to want “prom photos” in it)! But…Can I even rent an elephant? And if I do, will they complain when I put glitter eyeliner on it? Worse comes to worst, I can always make a 6 foot tall paper mache elephant for the head table I guess.
P.S.- Yes, Paladin does know about these plans…well…ok, the elephant hasn’t been brought up yet. But, he actually wants a big “do” so long as we don’t have to sell a kidney. And, I am the Queen o’ Thrifty-Grifty.
And THAT’s why I love you!
Wait – am I missing something? Is this for YOUR wedding? Holy crap you work fast!
Yeah – what’s all this about an EXTRAVAGANZA???!! It sounds like you’re going all out for this. I am totally curious.
That sounds like quite a shindig!
Things sound like they are moving right along for you and I am truely happy for you.
I have been reading, I have just been a crappy commenter.
I’m with KC. What???
So, when’s the big day? Congrats!
Did I miss something?
An elephant with eyeliner on it? Totally freaken awesome!!! I think some fire eaters and jugglers would be cool too!
I am going to be SO disappointed if I don’t have an invite in the mail! Especially with the “prom pictures” AND the elephant wearing eyeliner. Oh and also, I’m with the other ladies, WHAT did I miss?!
Enjoy your weekend!
Hugs,
-D
Okay, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t know what’s going on, lol. Are you getting married?
I love that you love blingy stuff. 🙂 A girl after my own heart.
Yeah, I’m confused too … like everyone else, LOL.
Very cool dramatic eyes tho.
I cannot put into words how much I love that hat, and I will wear it to the wedding. I am invited, right?
Did I miss something? Love the trannylicious makeup.
this post was very girly… i just cant relate 🙂
Hello! I’m doing moulin rouge for my school’s prom theme this year and was wondering if you had any tips for making a paper mache elephant (if you did end up making one)?
