adventures in fashion, travel & nightlife
On December 8 last year I posted this DIY, and since it’s party season again, I present to you – How to get leopard print hair!
Here’s my DIY video where I show how I did the leopard print on my hair, by demonstrating on a wig.
It’s great for parties, clubs and gigs, whether punk, rockabilly, psychobilly or goth. Give it a go! It’s easy…
Did you try this in the past year? Why not try it now?
I bought my first ever clothing frm Nasty Gal recently, and I’m really pleased with what I received. Thank the PTB that everything fit! I got the Funktional “Heavy Metal” dress, the BB Dakota “Winsor Silk” dress, the Leopard Cross top, the Zoe boot (bought years ago actually), and the Space Woman Shades in both black and gold (very Lady Gaga).
Here’s my first ever haul video, and as much as I’m uncomfortable with the concept of haul videos (ie people who can afford hauls being insensitive to those who can’t), I really hope it helps people who may want to buy Nastygal stuff, see how it fits on a little wee gal like myself. We are not all 5’10” glamazons!! We are not all 20 years old, and we are do not all have legs that go on forever. (And some of us MAY have tummies). And yet…we can look decent and stylish in our way.. so apropos of that..
(At least it’s shorter than my DIY videos…snicker)

Can a girl ever have too many leopard dresses and outfits? Hellz no! So here’s another – that I wore on Saturday night to Black Cherry.
You may perhaps notice the leopard hair I created to go with my outfit. Did I do it myself? Hellz yes! Do you want to know how? Then stay tuned, as I’ll be doing a tutorial on it pronto. For now, here’s the outfit.
Leopard Dress – Icon, Tokyo
Leopard Corset – Gallery Serpentine
Fake fur stole – Sportsgirl
Teal platform shoes – RMK shoes
Necklace – Forever 21
Lipstick – “Captive” by Mac
Circle lenses – G&G BT, Pinky Paradise
I’d like to mention icon-tokyo, as they are a very cool brand that hardly ever gets mentioned. It has edgy gear like the outfit below:
I met the ‘icon’ bods at H.P. France ‘s Merry Go Land fashion event in Shinjuku, back in September (see my post here). They were there in good company with Cannabis, Grimoire, Tarock, Wut and more. I saw and bought the blue leopard dress in the daytime, and when I went back for the night fashion show, I wore it!
Check out the icon-tokyo online shop , the icon-tokyo site, icon-tokyo twitter, or the blog (where, yes, I’m in a few early September entries).
And watch this space for the tutorial on how to do your own awesome leopard hair!
Here’s another little outfit post showing what I wear to less formal events (ie not clubs).
I went to see Florence & the Machine the other night and she was absolutely stunning! Her voice is so strong, her range is great, she is so vivacious, passionate and at times, ferocious! I decided I needed to wear leopard.
Leopard shirt long sleeved shirt: had for years
Leopard/black blouse with ruffled collar: Shibuya (discount shop*)
Leopard print leggings: Shibuya (discount shop)
Wide patent leather belt: Cue
Black sleeveless knit vest/cardi: Magdalena Dumas, Newtown
Purple glitter ankle boots: Yosuke USA, Marui One, Shinjuku
*Yes, there ARE cheap places to buy clothes in Tokyo; you just move away from the big malls, check out the side streets, and especially if you have to go up or down stairs, you know you’re onto a winner. I followed some girls into this shop in Shibuya and found quite a few bargains, one being a cool vinyl biker jacket for something like $10-$20. The blouse and leggings were even less than that.
I love to explore alternative subcultures and scenes, in Australia and around the world.
I love bright coloured hair, big circle lenses, fake lashes and Japanese gothic and rock gyaru fashion. Stay a while if you love these things too! [More …]
