Coats, Puppies, Bunnies, oh my!

I've been doing a great deal of custom work as of late, and haven't had much time to post new clothing that I've made! Also, we have acquired a poodle puppy (I'm allergic to dogs, so the poodle is the least allergenic), a tiny bunny - for the lonely guinea pig we have, and another Robo hamster to replace the one that died. So that's one dog, a bunny, a guinea pig, and two hamsters. It's crazy, I tell you! The puppy is more like a cat, the bunny and guinea pig will cram themselves into their hidey castle together so they look like one animal with two heads, and the hamsters run around like maniacs in their Habitrail...photos at the very bottom of this post. This is a coat I made from scratch - it was a present - this guy wanted to surprise his girlfriend with a jacket, so it was a challenge for him to get correct measurements on the sly, and he did his best.

Here are a few customs - one coat is a recon - the original coat is on the left. There is a bustle style denim skirt I made from scratch, and a skirt that was white, which I dyed in an ombre style, to match a shoe.

A Back To The Future Jacket from the second movie made from scratch...the wrist and waist decoration came from a designer who works with latex molds. I attached them to the jacket. Pretty cool, huh?

A Fox Coat...

And lots of other things I haven't even had time to photograph! I'll keep you updated, though, when I have more time. And here are the promised cute pics: Riley Mocha catching a few winks...

Jumpy (the bunny) and 3/5 (the guinea pig). Sorry the photo is blurry - I accidentally scared the hell out of them.

Until next time..Mara xoxo

Adrianne Curry and her Aeon Flux Costume

Hi there!

In the midst of working on my revamp of my website, http://www.indiscretion.us, I suddenly got a flood of questions from friends concerning Adrianne Curry's Aeon Flux costume worn at the San Diego Comic Con.

No, I didn't make that version of the costume for her. I made a version for her created from wet look spandex. The one she wore to the con was made from latex. Probably to most people who are not very familiar with the difference between wet look spandex and latex will mistake the costumes.

This is the latex costume worn at the San Diego Comic Con (and she did have knee pads and a holster and knife holder, I believe, but they broke (not made by me) and she tweeted about it):



[She may have worn gloves I made for her out of wet look spandex - I can't tell for sure from the pics, but they are less shiny and smoother than the latex.]


This costume is the one I made for her, but is being mistakenly labelled as the back of the latex costume:



The mix-up is understandable due to the fact that they are similar in design. She did wear one of the Leeloo costumes I made (top and pants, the suspenders were made by someone else), and her friend Honor wore the Leeloo bandage costume I made for Adrianne.

I wasn't going to post anything, but I see now that some online articles are mistakenly referring to the back of my costume as the one worn at the San Diego Comic con, and I wanted to clear things up.

Happy Cosplay to you all!

Leeloo outfit #2

So, I made one outfit for Adrianne Curry last month:



I didn't have much time, but I managed to make the top and pants with attached belt (she got the suspenders somewhere else):



I'm pretty excited they fit her! I thought she might need some adjustment in the bust area for the bandages, but everything else fits better than expected!
