METAL MACHINE MUSIC TONIGHT


Metal shoes, metal nails, metal project
Even though I didn't get home until 11pm, I knew that tonight would be the night to execute a project that I had been mentally preparing for over the past few days. The idea began with these ridiculously oversized pyramid studs that I couldn't help but buy from the same place that I get all of my harness hardware. I didn't want to use them in any sort of traditional pattern, nor did I want to imply any sort of Givenchy or Bess or whatever reference. I went with the first image that rolled into my mind, and luckily I had enough small pyramid studs left over from various projects to be able to turn my idea into reality. Well enough description, scroll down and enjoy. Oh, and smile!





(I haven't finished the hem, neckline, or armholes yet, don't worry I will NOT leave it all haphazard like that. I just got too excited and had to document!!)

This is fantastic! Thank you for giving studs a sense of humour, because I was really starting to get sick of them in general.

It's hilarious!
Balancing on the edge of good taste, you find a way to push your coolness aside and have a good laugh.
Good one.

For Love not Money said...

This is awesome.

Love it.

Particularly how the "eyes" are on your nipples. Cheeky and hilarious.

I think people take fashion way too seriously, I mean, I love it, but at the end of the day, its only clothing right? Its meant to be fun...

Didn't think I could dig you anymore but apparently I can....

How are those LD Tuttle shoes treating your feet? I thought of getting them, but I read that the heel is fairly high and I didn't know how comfy they'd be for walking out and about?
