Gummy Bears, Couture, Barbies, and Cupcake Bras

If this isn't candy couture, then I don't know what is! This beautiful gown is an original by Hissa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi that was inspired by Alexander McQueen's 2008 spring/summer collection. Its created from gummy bears...50,000 to be exact (220 pounds of gummy). Neat, huh? Even if it'd be near impossible to really party in.

This is actually really cool to show, especially since during this time there are a lot of gay pride rallies and such going on. It just fits perfectly!

It took 3 weeks to complete and 3 people to lift. Here is a little info on how the dress was made:

First: They created the shape of the dress using wire.

Second: They covered the shape using wax paper.

Third: They painstakingly glued each gummy bear onto the wax paper. A lot of glue....

Needless to say this inspired a lengthy Google search, and here are my results:

 

  

And after a while I had to Google one of my biggest inspirations, even if her outfits aren't edible:

I really want to see her movie :( But I have no friends and no car to get to Oxford all by my lonesome. Please don't rub in my face guys, please.

Oh! And check out these Barbies:

I need 'em. Badly. I don't even like Nicki Minaj, but I want her Barbie.

ANYWHO...

But seriously, check out more of Alexander. His work is beautiful - see?

Late Night Crafting

Hello Peebles(:


Ah! I'm so tired :( But my mind won't let me sleep. Ideas for new jewelry and accessories keep popping in my head! I've been making new items since around 7pm or 8pm...


but it's worth it! Items for me, items for friends, and items for you lovely people!


I think it's all due to the fact that portion of me that is 100% kawaii has woken up (she has been asleep for months!) within the last two months and she wants to leave her mark before 2011 is gone!...


By the way I am soooo ready for 2012!---even though we're supposed to die and all (I better go pick out my coffin! I'm thinking blue/pink decoden style *wink*)


But anywho I'm ready for a new year and beginning. I was drowning in tears all year -.- And a lot of other people too from what I've learned! But I know there were a lot of happy moments(: Who else is ready for 2012?


Well I'm cutting this short so I can go get my creations out of ze oven! Bye, Lovelies! Leave me comments: Opinions on 2012, what type of coffin you want, or something less morbid like awesome kawaii things!


PS::: Don't forget to spread this blog AND my lovely shop. And don't forget to tell your shop owner and blogging buddies about the new advertisement portion of my blog! Prices are cheap, cheap, cheap<3

Can't. Stop. Listening. O.o

Rose Shock

So, I've been obsessing over this blog recently. The name of it is Rose Shock. It's by a lovely, creative, and TALENTED girl named Rosette (who I believe is from Finland). I've looked at her blog almost everyday for about two weeks now. Her main focus is make-up (from what I can tell) and she takes a whole new approach to it. I love her looks! She also gives some great reviews (even if they all aren't in english) and it's helped me make some decisions on what brands I'd like to try in the future. I'll post some of her looks and the link. I hope you guys will check her out!

LOOKS:

 

Look at her please! These are just a few, she gets better and better as you look through her blog! (Even if you can't understand Finnish, it doesn't make her any less amazing!)

Sweet Kawaii Shop

So there is this lovely little shop named Simply Sweet Gemini that you absolutely need to check out! I literally squealed when I saw their deco boxes! She works with resin, poly clay, and other items. Miss Christina Chan is quite good if you ask me(: Check out her shop! BTW if you ever want to visit her shop in the future and don't feel like finding this post again, check out my links page. Bye Lovelies!

HK Glasses

So.. are these not adorable? I'm not a huge hello kitty fan, I actually slightly hate her now-a-days. Though I still think a lot of her stuff is adorable! I'd rock these, but only when I had my contacts in(: Anyone else like these?
