Exotic showgirl headpiece for burlesque starlet Cherry Dee

My latest big burlesque piece for the super sweet Cherry Dee (a.k.a. The freelancer with the fashionblog ;)! (Oh, don't mind the mess, my table always looks like that when im working on a huge piece...) There's lots of details, as usual. Mere volume does not do it for me, just huge amount of feathers or flowers makes it look big, but you need details to make it look interesting.

Tassels. Covered with Swarovski diamonds adn beads.

In the making. Base of the headpiece is buckram and millinery wire. Covered with sequin fabric, ribbon appliques and glass beads and Swarovski chrystals.

The huge banana leafs are detachable and can be used as fans.

Showgirl headpiece for Miss Anne Thropy

Vintage style showgirl headpiece i designed and made for the wonderful burlesque star Miss Anne Thropy. Old school millinery techniques, ostrich feathers, rhinestones.... I love my job.

Great costumes, marvelous headpieces, wonderful dancers and one of the best songs ever!

Halloween inspiration 2011

I love halloween. I'm very inspired by old horror movies, vintage halloween pin-ups and vampire stories ( no, i still haven't seen Twilight..). This year i'm olso very inspired by 80s/90s horror movies (and horror comedy, oh my..). I have to watch these movies again.

The Witches of Eastwick (1987) Look at all that hair!

Death Becomes Her (1992)

The Addams Family (1991) Anjelica is marvelous.

There are lots of great halloween inspration movies, these are just the ones that i really want to watch this year.

I have two halloween partie i'm going to, one in Helsinki and one in Tampere. I'm probably gonna go dressed as a vampire. Again. (But this post proves that i'm not always dressed up as a vampire.)

If i have time, i will be making a huge lace headpiece that is a mixture of Lucy's headpiece in Dracula and the spanish mourning veil.

Amazing!

Kylie Minogue, Aphrodite world tour. Cool costumes!

Even though i'm not a huge fan of her music, the costumes by Dolce&Gabbana (especially the headpieces) are pretty fabulous! Watch this BBC clip.
