Omgzz I literally was talking last night about how badly I’ve wanted a corpse bride costume and upset no one has truly made one that was even semi decent. I have only seen one prior and it was horrible. This is the first one I’ve seen not only meet my expectations but surpass them! The only thing it doesn’t thrill me on is the price 😭😭😰😵‍💫

If you are wondering what my standards are for a costume to qualify as passable good,it is pretty simple. They must be as accurate as possible to the actual outfit the character wears in the film/comic strip/book illustration as possible. I want to feel like I have transformed into that character stepping into their shoes and walking their stride enveloping the specifics in how they speak and organically move bringing it all to life in real time! I guess some would call it cosplay these days. Ive just always felt that way when I put on a costume I am no longer myself, I become whoever I’ve decided to métamorphosiez into. I am that character❣️

So back to this costume. I am so torn disheartened at finally having found the costume and it being wayyy out of my budget. Let alone let’s not forget the accessories!!! I mean do you see those amazing platform heel shoes of grandiose greatness!?! And can’t be the Corpse Bride without the veil. Though I wouldn’t mind finding some cheap one at goodwill or some random hole in the wall outdoor mall shop lol. At that point though if you are buying the shoes and dress I mean might as well say fuck it and get the veil. Gahhh……

Well if anyone wants to gift me this Halloween costume I’m an xs and shoe size 7 ( they only run whole sizes I don’t typically wear a 7 lol) or if you want to help me afford to buy it myself my cashapp is $AlyHollywood so feel free and put a note what it’s for when 💸💸 so I can easily keep tally on what goes towards it. I wish cashapp had a savings option to make some funds be put aside to save for a specific item but hey it can’t be exactly like the big banks right!? Lol.

I mean this costume is perfect. My hair is like those shades of blues and purples and whatnot. I truly before seeing this was starting to consider making my own costume and keeping my eyes peeled for used slightly damaged wedding dresses for sale at really discounted prices especially since then being damaged I figured would make it easier to get at a affordable price. Then factoring how to paint, dye, treat, etc the fabrics and alter to make look like hers including the tear with exposed ribs though the corseted torso. I loved this character from the first time I saw the film and can never get tired of this movie. I think she is such a poetic tragedy and beautiful in an unusual way. Decaying beauty. I also adore how she when finally at peace transforms into those beautiful rebel of butterflies 🦋 which are like the well established symbolism of transformation into becoming anew and moving forward onto the future. It was just so perfect and quotes I could really relate to such as

“I’ve been in the dark for so long I forgot how beautiful the moonlight is”

Not that I have plans but I’m sure I could find some lol better question is if I did rock this costume who would be my Vincent!? Lol. I actually found a decent costume for him but his outfit wouldn’t be that hard to recreate from real clothes from not costume shops lol.

Hey when I was little my first Barbie dream house I don’t know the name of but wish I had. When the double story pink one with the working battery run elevator came out my parents rid of my original, but I still have some parts from it. It had real electricity like the lights turned on or oven lit up and seemed to have small electrical wires the pieces that lit up snapped into the dollhouse. Any idea what name it had? It would be from early 90’s or 80’s I have sisters

That’s a hard question. I never had a Barbie dollhouse so I only know what they have in pictures. I know a few dollhouses with working elevator, others with real electricity etc. 

1995 Victorian Dream House is a double story house with elevator. 1990 Magical Mansion is a double story house with real electricity. There’s 1991 Magic Sounds House that has all that, but it’s a triple story one. I think you will have more luck googling ‘Barbie Dream House” by year if the one you’re looking for isn’t any of those I listed.

New hair 💕✨ salon day with my favorite color specialist we found a fun color brand that is permanent without a double process so it will save damage done. No pre-bleaching step!

We were lifting out the purple on the ends and it turned sky blue so we decided to rinse early and keep it. How it turned blue is a semi mystery but I’m stoked since it means the baby blue won’t fade out and will stay that way 🦋

Went with a raspberry type pink and threw in some fushia highlights and some teal lowlights into the sky blue. Still not sure about this root color lol.

I was thrilled to have it confirmed that my $$ purchases were worthwhile of a new shampoo and conditioner brand, and adding a pre-shampoo product from the same brand Voir. This plus the T3 shower filter add on ,which goes on between pipe and your choice of any shower head/wand , to a new wand where my water no longer has a scent and is clear has made a huge difference. She said my hair had hardly any fading which was not typical considering time between appointments. So stoked on that and really if you are looking for a truly color safe salon smelling product line check our Voir. I got all my new items on sale but I’d pay full price it’s worth it for hair health and color keep! So many color safe products contain an ingredient that fade color and so with that one told to avoid and some weeks of searching while researching I finally found a brand that didn’t contain it, high quality, cruelty-free, vegan, free of : silicones, paraben, sulfate and phthalate! Highly recommend to anyone with fun colors

Makeup? Nah I had just woke up.

Hair brushed? Pshhhh I pulled a hair tie out undoing what I think had been a messy bun at some point. Finger comb shake it out lol

Look in a mirror? Hah my friends dgaf that I’m gonna snap I’ll do that after.

See self and am like ehhh filter was made for this half awake face right? Scrolling over them ....

Let’s try this one wth why so many boxes ? Snap , don’t send but save and then remember I was looking for one to video with and reply back to their snap because that’s how we have conversations today : face to face yet miles away, quick durations sometimes instantaneous other times days apart dragging along a never ending discussion.

Next day looking at my photos app, what’s this?

Ohhh that one I saved to post maybe

Sure why the heck not it’s not like i will get hate mail the way I do other social media platforms.

Cheers to getting my selfies that I don’t bother sending out elsewhere haha

I really love how this is one place if you don’t like it don’t repost and keep on scrolling lol you rock tumblr don’t ever change xoxo

Lisa Frank inspired

On this day i wrote this while studying I wanna guess ;was inspired because I found it on notecards that are also bound to all the ones for the anthropology course “ magic . Witchcraft, and religion” that I took in college. An analogy about friendship and getting to create a world of your own together in time.
