Wacky Hats!

Hello, Kitty!

Me-ow!  Here's a little stray I found hiding among the hats at my local G-Willie's...ain't she sweet? Look at the cute button detail at the crown...and she's soooo soft to the touch! $5.99, you say? Well, I had to take her home with me, natch.

She's in purrr-fect condition...perhaps the poor dear has spent most of her life in a box...amazing how she's still right in style! She's sporting a RAINBOW of California label, but I can't seem to find any info on them anywhere...so she really is an orphan! But those lonely days are over...now she can start a new life in my heart and on my head! Thrift-O-Gasm!!

Delicious Dangles

May I nibble your ear, darling?

Dead Time

I hope all my darlings had a wonderfully spooky Halloween!
I didn't do much on the 31st, but I did have fun hosting a Dia de los Muertos celebration the following night.

Not sure what to wear on such an occasion, I threw together a little red-and-black lingerie with a pompom'd tutu to make a dress of sorts...then I added black stockings, boots and, of course, my beloved Belltown Betty jean jacket with its pink skull design!

But the pièce de résistance was my floral headpiece!

This was sooooo easy, I made it in well under an hour...not counting the part where I had to drive to two different craft stores to find the kind of silk roses I was searching for.

I picked three of 'em...two red and one pink...then, with the help of my reliable ol' pal, Glu Gunn, I arranged them into a little bouquet. I added a leaf or two, then made a backing by covering a small circular piece of buckram with a scrap of fuzzy black fabric I had laying around. This hid all the messy bits of glue and stuff...then I attached an elastic band to keep it in place among my golden curls...

It can be worn two ways, with either the two red roses or the pink one in front. Flirty and fabulous!!

F-ing Around

First off, I have to mention a first...Worn Out...The Seattle Stranger's First-Ever Fashion Show, featuring a few of my fashionable friends...like Stella Rose Saint Clair, Jamie Von Stratton, and Mark Mitchell...frontrunners in their field...fresh, funky and frankly, fucking fabulous!

As for my own forays into fashion (which, lately, have been few and far between)...fortune has finally smiled! After a few futile thrift-store shopping efforts, I finally found a flirty, feminine frock at my friendly neighborhood Goodwill...

Full-length black filigree lace over a glitzy golden lining flocked with flashings of sequins...fully fashioned with a flattering low back (vintage Jessica McClintock GunneSax, y'all!)...a fantastic buy at $9.99!

...and feast your eyes on this, friends...I just about flipped over this fancy fan-shaped bag featuring its beautiful beadwork intact...and almost free at $1.99!

Isn't that fun?

Dangling Darlings

Which will it be today?

How did Betsey Johnson know I was craving a pair of pearl-necklaced Ducky earrings? Mwah!

What's Up, Doc?

If you carrot all about this being The Year of the Rabbit, why not get a jump on things with your very own leather bunny mask?

Are you all ears? Okay! Because I want to share my source...a wonderful shop at Etsy, where you can also find other fanciful animal masks...as well as beautiful filigree leather masks like these:

...and seriously steamy Steampunk accessories like this:

It's already six days in! What are you waiting for? Hop to it, silly wabbit!

Dear Santa...

I've been good this year. Here's a short list of Gam-a-licious items I'm sure I deserve! Love, Gams

1. This "Gams Galore" glass ornament would look fabulous on my tree...if only I had one.

2. Bejeweled license plate frames (with Swarovski crystal bolts) to surround my customized GAMS plates...as soon as I get them, anyway.

3. Swarovski-encrusted pink heart-shaped pasties...just because.

4. This G-string Clip can be personalized with a big ol' GG! Can'tcha just picture it, Santa?

5. These drop earrings...or just about anything from the GUESS Collection...always a Gams Galore favorite, you know, because of their "G" logos!

6. A ga-ga-gargantuan bottle of the most glamorous fragrance to ever glamourize a Golden Gullet... Moschino Glamour opens with sparkling accords of tangerine blossom with seductive artemisia, crystallized with harmony of sea salt aromas. The heart encompasses an ironic contrast of ingredients and highlights intensive colours and velvety aromas of hibiscus and cattleya orchid combined with tacts of exotic and transparent lotus flower. Base notes introduce final seduction of unexpected and delicate-sensual amber and cedar, wrapped with inapprehensible white musk.

7. This.

Lei-Boa Day!

Lei-Boa Day Weekend...one of the most glamorous weekends of the year! Luckily I was prepared...I recently updated my lei and boa supply with eye-poppin' orange ostrich, discovered at my beloved costume store among their new shipment of fabulous feather boas...and a dainty pink-and-white 'hula set' that was on a Last Chance Final Markdown table at BigLots for, oh, maybe 75 cents. But how about you?? Are you celebrating properly? There should be plenty of shopping time left at your favorite Lei-Boa Day Sale...so don't delay! It's Lei-Boa Day!

Fabulous Flasks

Every glamorous gal on the go needs a refreshing beverage handy...right? Good thing some clever folks are finally creating fun, beautiful and artistic flasks for milady's convenience!

First up are these one-of-a-kind flasks, designed by ManEatingFlower...they're wrapped in hand-printed pieces of leather recycled from old clothing...ingenious! You can purchase one today at his Etsy store! Why wait?







As you can see, the backs are lovely, too!


I also found some other fun and feminine flasks like these:





Finally, my favorite flask of all...in pink camouflage!...will make certain that nobody ever sees me drinking on the job...or at the mall...or in the theatre...or even on the bus. I'm going to get mine engraved with a big GG! Cheers!
