Yep, that’s my butt.
I’m totally in love with this rainbow striped jersey! The colors are so bright and the black stripes feel very retro to me. You know you want them for yourself, so go check out the Etsy page.

NEW NEON GAG MASKS
According to the Burning Man oracles, this is going to be one of the dustiest years on the playa!
This metallic purple one is definitely one of my favorites. I love how saturated the colors are!
Jason and I went out there for Fourth of Juplaya, and although it wasn’t very windy there were huge piles of fluffy dust all over the playa. And some amazing playa trails kicked up from fast cars!
It was hard to hold the blacklight and attempt clear photos. But you still get the idea of how bright they glow!
These masks are available in my Etsy shop now and ready to ship–order soon to get it before Burning Man!
PINK LION COSTUME
I made this Pink Lion costume last summer for Burning Man 2011. Let’s just say it was quite a hit.
There was an entire night when he could only roar.
My good buddy Jason Tomaino approached me last summer and declared he wanted to be a lion for Burning Man. We found this amazing wolf-style faux fur, and it was love at first sight!
The pants and hood are both lined in white poly satin, cause I know how to make luxury. There is plastic boning in the ears so that they always stay perky. The sequin bowtie is sewn onto the zipper pull. The waistband has a D-ring tape on it, to clip little treasures onto. Unfortunately the weight of the fur was too much for the elastic waistband, so it quickly became apparent that gold suspenders would be necessary. And I’m so glad that they were!
He’s quite charming with that furry tail of his.
There was some fur left over, so I made him a cuddle puddle blanket, which he put to good use.
Perhaps the best part is that he’s a Thai massage therapist, and traded me amazing massages for the costume. Uh, yeah, it was awesome. Just wait till y’all see what I’ve made for him this year.
