Queen for a Day

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

A couple of weeks ago I went to a goth fashion show to celebrate the opening of the Writer’s Block Cafe at Book Island.

Sultry or Sweet? Yes, please.

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Grace Winnfield passed me this brand new design called Glamorous Garbo, available in a “sultry” and a “sweet” edition (L$500 each, L$950 for both) last night and I was immediately enchanted with its charms.

A Blingtard’s Crucifixion

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

That was the working title of this extremely detailed sculptie cross necklace that Damen Gorilla of Adam ‘n Eve has made. These are by far the tiniest sculpties I have ever seen. When some time ago  I had a talk with another jeweler about sculpies for intricate jewelry, I was told that they could not be [...]

Dutch Touch… Don’t Ignore Your Roots

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Noooo… I don’t mean I have cutie neko roots, although Dutch Touch clothes made me want to dig my ears up, because it looks so darn cute.  But I mean that taking a closer look at Dutch designers is just something I should do more. One of the advantages of taking blogging a bit slower [...]
