Be back soon?

You may have noticed I pretty much never update this these days. Well, all kinds of crazy is going on right now for me. Moving, new side job, working on the bridesmaid dresses for my best friend's wedding, the works. Needless to say, I'm crazy busy! So consider this my "Talk to you soon" blog post. I'll be back soon and crazier than ever. (Is that possible?)

Don't worry, Dismantled Fashions ain't quitting you! The website and Etsy shop is still open and all ready for orders. It's just all the extras I have to step back from :)

They really love me! (plus other exciting news!)

I was just featured in the blog Peculiar Curiosities, and nicer things could not have been said! Thank you Johnathan! Click here to read the post :)

And, I now have 70 followers. Thanks y'all! I'm surprised you're entertained by this, but I'm not hating it!

I realized too, I don't think I ever posted the interview I did with the fabulous photographer Branwyn for her blog, MadhouseMauly. I'm such a slacker! Give it a look if you'd like to know more about what I do. I tried desperately not to be too cheesy in my answers, which is pretty hard for me. Click here to read it.

Also!! Thanks to Creepy Queen Magazine, I've won a contest where my products will be sent to Helena Bonham Carter, Christina Ricci and Rose McGowan!!! How amazing is that? Now I just need to figure out what in the world I'll send. Gah!

And finally, guess who is my newest model? The sweet and lovely Shayla of the blog, The Mysterious Life of the Metropolitan Housewife! The shoot will be done by Vorpal Images, which is pretty exciting! I love their work. Here's hoping to get my end of this done within the next week or two so I can sit back and anxiously await the fabulousness.


(photo belongs to Vorpal Images and Shayla. If it's not ok on here, please let me know and I'll remove.)


That's all for now! I need to get back to work to stay on top of things before I leave town next weekend. More on that later :)

Rockabilly Wednesday

This week, it's the Arkhams!




"The sound is as schizophrenic as the content: a psychotic episode across sub-genre boundaries which at any twitch can switch from psycho-garage to Mersey-beat/R&B and New York City Punk Rock"

I've seen the Arkhams once before, and a couple of the members are formerly of The Black Market Band (a favorite of mine) Not only is the music upbeat and fun with a great live show, they're great guys! I'll be seeing them again in October when they come to town. Do yourself a favor and get the CD, I listen to mine all the time!

I'm not dead!

I've just been busy. I'm trying to have a good time with my life these days, so I'm going out a lot lately. I pretty much only have time for work when I'm home. But, I'll try to get back into things.

Plus, I've decided on a contest! I'll post details tomorrow. Until then, I leave you with dancing Elvis.
