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?

Comments? Complaints? Ideas? Plots to take over the world? Post for me, Babes!

Late Night Baking

So, right before I went beddy bye, I wanted to check out the latest on Elsie's blog. I checked her DIYs, got some ideas. Then looked at the beauty tab and fell in love with braids all over again! And then..I went to that dreadfully delightful treats tab. One look at her beautiful vanilla cupcakes with raspberry filling, I was done for! I just had to do some baking, with hopes to make beautiful cupcakes like hers<3 And here are my final results:

Homemade cinnamon cupcakes with store frosting! I tried to make my own frosting but it never turned out right :( Oh well, I guess I just need to start working once I get some money saved up to buy supplies to mess around with :3 They taste great! I am very proud of myself :3 I plan on making more once I actually have someone to feed them to! Well I need sleep...I have to go on a little trip to Southaven tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Sadly, no shopping will happen *tear*.  Keep your fingers cross that I get a job! Then I can bombard your feeds with pictures because of a) a new camera and b) new clothes to show you! 'Tis all, my loves.

If you have cool frosting (or cake!) recipes, let me know! Heck, if ya have any recipes you want me to know about (baking or cooking) let me know! I'd be more than happy to try it :D

Cupcake's Clothes

So I am a bigger lady, in both size and personality! I also tend to love crazy or "weird" things! One of my many personalities is that of a Lolita Girl. When I wear Lolita-ish garb (I haven't saved enough for a legit dress yet D: ) people look at me as if I'm...special. You don't see many plus size ladies that are A) Lolita. B) Confident to wear what they want. C) Both! I, myself, am very confident in my body (after being forced to by theatre - but I am happy for it!) and I love seeing other girls that are plus size and dress how they want!

I found Georgina's blog, Cupcake's Clothes a bit ago and the more I look at it the more I drool!

She's a 22 year old plus size girly from England and she is gorgeous! Her blog has almost everything I love. Lolita, fashion, jewelry, England, pink! And more(: I love all of the little tidbits of her life and fashions. And their are pastels everywhere on her blog...yes<3

I've been feeling down due to some life/family issues and she has given me inspiration for make-up and crafts! I'm excited now :3 Oh! And I am dying to have her outfits and shoes. Those purses aren't looking bad either(: I need to know where she gets them!!!!!

She has also directed me towards new blogs and shops! I am so glad I ran across her blog. I feel like an idiot for not know it before. Check her out, pwease<3
