to kylie or not to kylie?

Kylie Minogue is hot hottie hot. And this is one of the reasons why I LOVE her.

I am assuming this outfit was Ziegfeld-inspired, worn by one of my fave 20's icons, Louise Brooks.

Which is why I am tempted to recreate this fab outfit for Halloween.
The head piece would be the major challenge in making this costume.
I don't know if I can do it. But I WANT to wear this!

Who wouldn't want to be draped in feathers?

Last month, a friend from China ordered 4 fascinators for Halloween.
Each fascinator was sewn by hand.

be safe

Another storm is coming, work has been called off,
and people are afraid that this might be worse than Typhoon Ondoy.

Be safe everyone.

I could be doing volunteer work for the victims of Ondoy today. I should be spending my time helping people in need. I would rather be at a relief operations center, than where I am right now. But right now, I have no choice but to go to work, suck it in and help out in any way that I can. Although spreading the word online helps, I feel the need to do more.

If I can't spend my time and energy packing relief goods right now. I decided to put the time and energy I spent sewing these past few months into good use instead. I will be sharing a portion of what I have earned from my fascinators to buy relief goods for the victims of Ondoy.

So to all the ladies (and gentleman) who have supported my little shop... thank you. You have also, in your own fabulous way, helped the victims of Ondoy.

There is still more to do darlings, so please visit this site : ONDOY MANILA

Every little bit helps. Thank you :)

Sending out an SOS

On Sept. 26, the Philippine capital Manila and its neighboring provinces suffered one of nature's worst beating. Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) poured more than a month's worth of rain in six hours, submerging most parts of the Luzon. Thousands of people have lost their homes and hundreds have lost their loved ones in just one day. The images and the stories are heartbreaking and anything that you can do to help would greatly be appreciated.

No matter where you are, you can lend a hand. Please visit this site:
ONDOY MANILA

Thank you so much.
