New clothes + charity show



Click the picture to see my new one-of-a-kind creations just listed on eBay!

And thanks for all the nice comments to my last post! I feel so bad that I haven’t had a chance to answer any of them, but I honestly didn’t expect to get so many haha. I did read every last one, and they made me smile! :-)

Also, on October 11, I will be participating in this AIDS charity event downtown. I’m donating some one-of-a-kind Shrinkle dresses to be shown on the runway, then auctioned off! All proceeds go to charity, so come out and show your support. Oh, and ladies! Don’t be intimidated by the thugged-out looking flyer. Splash is a GAY BAR, so I promise no gross straight men will be bothering you haha! And if they do… you tell me and I’ll beat them up for you! ;-)

FASHION SHOW / CLUB DOLLHAUS PICS!!!

LOOOOOOK!!! It took me 3 weeks to gather all the pics from my fashion show, but I finally did it!! A big fat “Haha!” to everyone who said it would take me 3 MONTHS. Just kidding–I don’t blame ya! ;-)

This was my very first fashion show and my first time putting on a whole club nite, so you can imagine how stressed I was! Regardless, it was still THE BEST NITE OF MY LIFE! I am so grateful to everyone who made it so special. I have the best friends in the world, and I promise to never take it for granted! I can’t even begin to say how much I appreciate the way some of you went out of your way to make sure the nite ran smoothly. I was such a stresscase!! For 3 weeks leading up to the fashion show, Kevin and I were each pounding at least 3-4 Diet Cokes every nite trying to get as much work done as possible before we’d finally pass out at 4am. Then Kevin would wake up at 7am to go to work, and I’d get up and continue sewing. Our neighbors probably thought we were on crack!

Club Dollhaus went better than I could have ever hoped!! More than 250 people showed up, not counting our crew of models, makeup artists, hairdressers, helpers, etc. The weird thing is, I feel like I missed the whole thing because I was so busy working. But I’ll have to believe everyone who told me it was rad, haha! Honestly, I was so convinced that things would go wrong. I had to peptalk myself beforehand to not be hard on myself if anything bad happened, since it was my first time and mistakes are to be expected. But amazingly, everything was perfect! I owe it to the endless generosity of all my friends who volunteered SOOOO much of their time to make this work. For real, wow. I love you guys so much! Am I starting to sound redundant?

Larry was happy with the turnout, so he’s asking me to throw another party on Saturday November 4. MARK YOUR CALENDARS, FUCKERS!! I will be posting updates on the Dollhaus Myspace page as they come, so feel free to add us! And while I’m being a billboard, I’d like to give a quick plug to the amazingly sweet Marty Flint, who so generously donated the super cute heart padlock chokers we’re all wearing in the photos. Check out his website and support a rad artist, cuz he makes lots of crazy cute jewelry! WE LOVE YOU, MARTY!!

Anyway, on to the pictures! The photo credits should be watermarked on most of them. But for the photos that don’t have watermarks, I stole them and would like to thank my sister Van, Soybaby, Mandy, Jade, Black Mike & Ann, Stephanie Nguyen (Bubblesung), Liz Yada (MissAlphabet), Lil’ Kimmy, and Matt!

Model fittings happened a week before the show. This was for me to see who looked good in which outfits and to make alterations if necessary. Don’t they look like paperdolls? Awwww I love my models!

“What did the bike thief look like?”
“Well, he was about 6′3″, with red hair. Oh and I’m not sure if this helps, but he was a Mexican tranny wearing a pink ballerina dress!”

Can you handle 174 more photos???
