THE MECHANIC

I held on to this Miel dress for a while, because I wasn't sure how I wanted to use it. Finally the other day, I received a group gift from Deco, which included these grungy goggles by Gutterblood Spoonhammer. (Love em! They remind me of Dad's welding goggles.) Before Mr. Spoonhammer started selling wares upstairs at Deco, I used to visit his shop at ROT dev (gone dammit). The rough goggles inspired me to grunge up the Miel dress. I toughened her look combining the booN topknot with a buzzcut hairbase, and the gauged and pierced ears. The gauges are actually timepieces. I love that kind of details!

In case you still had any doubts whether this chick is someone you want to mess with, she is sporting a garter with a rusty old pistol tucked in.

I was in the mood for something sweet. So I bring you ... Shortcake! This fluffy little confection might as well have the bell skirt made of fondant. (Yum)

I also wanted to show you the back of the jacket. I show it separately because when I stretched the skirt to be bigger, it interfered with the jacket ruffles.

SOCIALIZED

Waiting for a wealthy date outside the Reaktor Club, I had an odd flashback.

When I was a teenager, my grandmother was worried about my social skills, so once in a while she would roll me into a sophisticated cocktail dress, and take me to a party with young military officers in dress uniform, or make me serve finger food and drinks at some political fundraiser full of tipsy older people. I always felt out of place and horribly overdressed.

I shook off the memory and tried to get back to feeling like an adult.
