I was invited to a fancy dress party on Saturday night where you had to dress as something beginning with C (yes, I snickered at first too). Ever one to use any excuse to dress up EGL, I went as a Cancan dancer, albeit a Victorian one.
I wore several tutus and bloomers/underskirt underneath the big bustle skirt, so it was truly huge and pouffy. Black & white striped stockings paired with the victorian looking boots gave a cancan or saloon girl look to the outfit. Have a look.

Your smoky eye is amazing. And you make the circle lenses tempting. I will have to go through your prior posts and see which lenses are less irritating.
Good day! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if
that wopuld be okay. I’m absolutely enjoying your blog and look forward to new
updates.
Oh thank you!!! I seem to need really dark colours in my crease to make my eyes pop (at least until I get the eye op!) These ones were the G&G; BT02 http://www.pinkyparadise.com/webshaper/store/viewProd.asp?pkProductItem=51 The same as my favourite aqua ones. I wear these 2 the most, as they are the most comfy and have a big impact ๐
You look amazing! Love, love, love your outfit and your make-up is SUPERB.
Thank you so much Corinne!!
I love your costume! Looks like a fun party!
Love your spat boots!
Thanks Hex! It really was ๐ Looks like you've been really busy, with all those things for sale i your etsy shop! Hope you make lots of sales ๐
Sydneysomething – hello!! Thanks – they go with so many things ๐ I checked out your blog, and really like it. We have similar fashion sense, I think! (Tho I haven't had green hair since last year ๐
Hehe, hello! I can imagine, if I had a better tolerance for heels I'd be all over them like a rash bahaha ๐
Oh thanks! I love your fashion sense, so I take that as a huge compliment! Actually, I've seen pics of you before on facefail at Die Machine or something like that and I remember admiring your outfits. I was really surprised when I just randomly came across your blog.
Woo green hair! ๐
Hehe, it's cool we found each others' blogs ๐ And yeah, I did have lime green hair this time about a year ago! Not as dark green as yours. When I went to Japan last October I got some cool pics, on the blog in the archives ๐
oooh Love your outfit! those boots are gorgeous! I'd love to dress like that…
The boots are nice, aren't they? Thanks ๐ Why don't you dress like this for a party or something one of these days?
