Hello! Hope you are doing well. You mentioned you bought the fabric for the pants. Are you making and wearing them for the ball or is it for a later time? ✨
The pants will be primarily for the ballroom outfit, but if I can manage to complete them for the vampire ball, I'll wear 'em!
I truly apologize for not doing more coat construction posts. I had one almost ready, and then decided I didn't like any of the footage. I have another one almost ready but I need to shoot some footage and I think the problem is that I need better lighting. My friend was going to lend me her ring light but then she said she needed it and things came up, and I can't comfortably buy one myself.
Although, I did very uncomfortably buy the boots I've been wanting for Jareth's ballroom/vampire ensemble which I'm happy about but
Even as a kid, I could not understand why his lips distracted me so much.
Why were they so shiny?
It doesn’t show up anywhere else in the film.
Not the first time he plays with his balls:
Or the second time:
or when he throws his balls down the hall:
or even when he asks her to PLEASE take his balls:
it took me thirty gosh-danged years to figure out his lips were shiny because HE BIT THE PEACH TOO
It’s not a mistake. This is a test shot for the costuming:
shiny shiny lips
This leaves so many questions. Hoggle is the one who gives Sarah the peach per Jareth’s threats directives, so how would he have bitten it too?
We don’t see him from the time he hands over the peach until they’re in the ballroom, so there’s no real way of telling, but I’m assuming that he could or would have conjured one on his own and bitten it too. I’m sure crystal tastes like shit and cuts up your gums something awful.
Could the lipgloss just be…lipgloss?
Sure. But it was so…peachy. PEACHY.
Whoever it was who donated on Kofi, thank you, your contribution made it so that I could comfortably buy my ticket to the vampire ball AND purchase some nice velour for my pants!!
Moldable plastic and dental adhesive arriving tomorrow ✔️
Got my coupons for Jo-Ann Fabric ✔️
Next is undead makeup practice, devising my pants pattern (and possibly a shirt pattern if I can't find one), and.... Well, let's not get too ahead of myself. lol
Someone on ko-fi was very generous to me today and I am just shocked. And touched. My head is swirling at the prospect of being able to afford some supplies and getting going again. If it's one of y'all but you don't wanna say it's you, that's okay, but if you do want to say it's you, my mailbox is WIDE OPEN M'KaY

You mentioned that this is your side blog. What other blogs do you have and do you do other colsplay because you are amazing.
Thank you.. It's a side blog but the only blog I'm really active on anymore. My personal blog has some other cosplays which I'll save you time and just direct link to their tags:
