Naked truth

I just simply love underwear , and this post just dedicated to this... Well, both love and underwear :)

I started watching the Secret Diary of a London Call Girl (kind of late, no? :) with Billy Paper. Basically, it's just her jumping around either naked, or in a nice underwear. On this picture she's wearing this absolutely amazing feather collar piece (not very well seen but she's also wearing a matching bracelet) - yumi-yum-yum-yum!


I've heard of Mimi Holliday for couple of years already, but never got to actually check it online. Just googled it today... and fell in love! I don't know words enough powerful to describe it - it's just cream and zephyr and lace lace lace lace... You should see it for yourself:





I love the song too, but the video is kind of special in itself. My printscreen images are not very nice. And there's another one in the video - very burlesque one - in a white fur coat and! underwear all covered with big shiny crystals. I can hear you saying - phe-e-e, crystals - but it's actually truly beautiful:

It feels like the winter time is about to end (Christmas, New Year's Eve, all ticked out), but it's actually two more months of winter ahead! Made yellow mittens for myself, and a headband that I want to sell:







Love the way yarn is so cosy and hairy when magnified, and is like some baroque pattern or element repeated again and again, and endlessly...

A big hair post

It's 1st January - can't-be-bothered-to-do-anything day :) I can't even be bothered to eat, so trying to survive on coffees...

Recently realized that some of my childhood movies have wonderful costumes. This one has ridiculously stylish witch:



I tried to sketch, however, didn't get some details - the skirt got a new flower pattern on it and I changed the sleeves quite a bit :)


I think, the big red hair thing is just amazing. It got me inspired to look up for some more pictures :)
This is Katie Waissel from recent X-factor series, her Halloween concert witch image was just proper extravaganza with (can't be seen on the picture properly) over-sized white fake eyelashes.
However, it seems like she doesn't mind similar hair-do on a normal concert as well:



This is Madonna (as you may guessed already :) - stylish and young - and, I think, looks quite witchy on this one:


Oh, and I love Lady Gaga in any outfit - she usually references Madonna heavily, but this one, I think, is exaggerated Marilyn Monroe. Filming Love Game video:



Big, messy hair is an instant attention catcher, however, I opted for the complete opposite, so did Katie :)
