New Year, New Tumblr Account, and Goodbye Blog

Sadly I think this blog is finally coming to an end.

After almost 3 years of really enjoying meeting new people through my blog, posting my fun outfits and adventures, it is a new year and time for new beginnings. For one thing, though I'm still as queer as ever, I'm dating a boy (a very awesome and queer boy) so the title of this blog seems kind of inappropriate; and really I enjoy posting photos far more than having to write stuff anyways, so...

I'm not disappearing completely, I'll now be posting all my outfits, vintage finds, cool photos, and a whole lot more, on my new tumblr page, The Vintage & Retro Closet. I hope you'll follow it and enjoy what I post there!

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

The last of 2011

Well this year has gone very interestingly....

I haven't exactly been blogging much, but here are a bunch of photos from the last few months:

Me wearing the hat I won from Kalandra Jane at the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. I've been going a lot lately.

Wearing pearls, and my grandma's vintage hat at a drag show.

More amazing leopard print hat-ness! It goes so perfectly with everything that I've been wearing it constantly.

Vintage pink bottle brush wreath that I bought and then added extra bulbs to. Also note my 40's roll top desk and my...

...vintage Christmas ornament vase.

In one of her sweetest moments ever, my mom bought me this white Christmas tree that I loved as part of my Christmas present. They were sold out in the ENTIRE city, so she drove out of town to find me one!

So I set it up last weekend and it is full of pastel bulbs and cute ornaments like this little guy:

Happy Holidays!

Belated Halloween Post

I finally had my Halloween party this weekend- I was super late this year, but at least it happened!

I really wanted to be Carmen Miranda, but instead I was a 'French Maid'.

The dress is stop staring, the apron was made by me out of an old pillowcase. :)

Winner! Ding ding ding!

Thanks to Kalandra Jane Millinery and Musings! I am going to be arriving something very cool in my mail soon!

I was lucky enough to win her amazing leopard print satin fascinator as a giveaway to celebrate reaching 100 followers!

Check out her shop to see more of her drool-worthy hats :)

What have I been up to?

Me with my amateur photography (the ones on the table are all mine, not the portraits on the wall :P )

I've been keeping myself super busy lately which includes all of the following:

• Cleaning and reorganizing my entire house after ex moved out
• Going on a road trip to Edmonton
• Going on a road trip to Red Deer

• Watching A LOT of Roller Derby
• Spending a lot of time hanging out with friends
• Getting drunk with friends
• Putting my photography in an art show (see above)
• Writing poetry
• Writing songs

• Buying new clothes, a new beret, and a vintage western bow tie

• Getting my hair cut

• Buying the softest vintage fur stole ever

• Dressing up in costume and performing.

Cut! Costume and the Cinema

So, this post is a little late coming, but I went to the local museum a few weeks ago to see an exhibit titled 'Cut! Costume and the Cinema' which featured several movie costumes from famous films.

Here are Sherlock Holmes and Watson's outfits from the recent Sherlock Holmes.

Christine Daae's dress from Phantom of the Opera.

Gertrude's dress in Hamlet.

Kate Winslet's dress in Finding Neverland.

Anjelica Houston's gown from Ever After.

There were so many more too.

Definitely a worthwhile exhibit, I'll have to look out for other costume exhibits that come my way :)

Zombie Walk 2011

I've been to the zombie walk twice before, but not in the last several years. Luckily this year worked out well for me to go so I went as a Day of the Dead Zombie.

I wore my favourite wig and the biggest hair flowers I own. The dress is vintage and the sweater is rockabilly.

Me and my friends all zombified. It was pretty awesome actually :)

Single again

Love Sucks.

My life is pretty miserable.

General large amount of angst...

And stuff.

If you can't tell, what I'm trying to say is that I am single and have been for a while, hence the lack of posts.

Need some time to regroup after having heart ripped out.

Will survive to become cool pink haired vintage blogger once more.

Hopefully...

Pride 2011

Homo Hop Outfit from last night- Dress is from PinupGirlClothing. I wore it with a pink ribbon and a full crinoline.

Super close up!

My friend Fuzzy and I at the pride parade this morning. You can't see it in this photo but I'm covered in glitter and have a rainbow painted on my boobs.

Shrug is new from Rocksteady Clothing

Corset: A Little More Interesting

Costume exhibit promo at pride!

This photos is to illustrate the rainbow glitter carnage leftover from pride. I'll be picking glitter out of my scalp, fingernails, clothing, and various other body parts, for weeks.

Pink Hair

I got this new dress ages ago and am finally getting a picture up. I love the floral pattern but unfortunately the fabric isn't that stable.

In other news I've dyed my bangs again. First I bleached my roots like crazy and I was super blonde for part of this week.

Then I added the pink!

and Voila!
