This question came to me last night

Is it just me, or does everything get more difficult when you are wearing a corset?

I don't know if it's just the constricting of my midsection that limits the movement of it, or if there are other factors involved. I just have at least a little added difficulty doing the simplest things. What's up with that?

Anyone else have trouble?

Well since posting a public check list worked pretty good for me last month...

...Lets do another this month.

Now that I have moved, my intentions have turned toward DragonCon. I seriously cannot wait. I have a little under 2 months to get costumes together and make sure I have the money for this. This month I will be mostly focusing on the financial side of it. Moving has left me broke, I'm still waiting on my deposit from my old apartment as well. So I'm really poor at the moment.

• Write up a new budget for monthly bills as things have seriously changed.
• Fix my bike, this will keep me from having to ride the bus to and from work.
• Design costumes, making efforts to keep costs down. Costumes will be constructed next month. I've got at least 3 sets of faerie wings plus quite a few accessories to make.
• Work out in fitness center for a minimum of 1 hour every day. I want to look good.
• As I have been doing, work to keep utility bills low.
• Work to keep food cost down as well, but still eat healthy. And no eating out no matter how good the Chinese buffet down the road is.
  

I think that's about it, I may have to expand on this one a little but that's the gist of it. I'll probly be putting together a workout plan and setting some goals for that as well. Next month costume construction begins. I will be posting pictures. So keep an eye out for those. I got some really cool stuffs planned. Here's a cool how to vid I found featuring Emilie Autumn for a teaser.

BTW, if you have never been to Dragoncon, you should seriously go. Seriously.

I was mentioned in AngelSpit's latest Blipvert

Have a look here.

It made me feel really good to hear her answer my question. I asked "How can I be as beautiful as you?" She always looks amazing. I want to look that good, especially considering in my stage shows I've been known to work with the music of AngelSpit.

When I perform to their music (and it's been forever) I don't try to look like her. I look nothing like her and I know it. However I do try to go for about the same style. One thing I do have to say - I HATE my body. I don't find myself attractive at all. I have worn things that look good on others, but not on me. I like her advice on emphasizing one's good features and being one's self.

So when I return to the stage (after I get some things sorted out), I'm going to return with a better look. Not following trends or totally emulating those I admire but being myself. wearing clothes that actually look good on my body. As it is I'm looking to make the transition from being a typical drag queen that lip syncs and dances to being a musician that just happens to dress in drag. Think Twisted Sister gone industrial/gothic with better makeup.

And like she said at the end of the vid, check out the forum at http://krankhaus.net/forum/



Amelia, if you happen across this, thank you so much!

Love color? Me too.

Look just because I'm one of those goth people doesn't mean I don't like a splash of color in my wardrobe.

I recently purchased a new purple corset. I wanted something new to wear to the upcoming Cruxshadows concert. I wanted to get a pair of matching purple fishnets to go with it. In my search I happened across an online retailer called WeLoveColors.com. I found exactly what I was looking for. Some other cool items too. They sell clothing for men, women and children in a very wide variety of colors. When I received my order, I had a big surprise. I was their 100,000th order. They sent me a bunch of stuff, including several ties. Ties are something I'm kinda known for in my professional career and I can never have too many. They were all very bright, fitting my style perfectly.

I'm not normally about endorsements, but if you like colorful clothing, check them out.
