I love Bill Bailey's standup routine about Glastonbury, including his closet full of festival leftovers that had him rolling HIS eyes and wondering why in all blue hells he bought the stuff.

That doesn't constantly construct SEP fields around everything.



The old "leave it for somebody else" routine... at Glastonbury.

And in this design - chocolate cake and Oreos on top, vanilla cake and ladyfingers on the bottom. Could be changed to almost anything.

With no money left in the budget to play around and see if it was realistic.

Well, here's one solution.

Gather all of your "that's cool" and "ooooh, my favorite" images in one place.

The big danger is having it end up like a classic '80's mix tape - full of songs that mean everything to you and...typically...nothing to anyone else.

And perhaps the tops off squeeze water bottles for the lenses. I'm already attempting so much that goes beyond my "sewonabutton" level of skill, I just don't think I'd have the time.

Just had to share it - if I could, I'd make this...

Yup, it's time for me to just get pinning...

Think that Erte picture above, done about waist high.

This is making me wish I still had my fedora...

No glitter for me, and due attention paid to MOOP security. I'm doing my best to make sure that anything that's going to fall off is going to fall off HERE, not THERE...:) Another thing that's been really cool about this so far is how much stuff I bought that has had me doing a Brain (ponder, ponder...

And as regards the original post..... this kind of thing is WAY too much fun to worry about definitions.

I wonder if it's possible to do Cirque Du Soleil on a budget...

I love those Pinterest pages... Pardon me while I Erte.... http://www.deedeevee.net/DDV/Art/Erte%27/134287.jpg https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTrUNewGaKlQU5TVBBpKSIHEqUxIDLtmJ9MvL62DxwbkxKNfKdO http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XilWNj0NE40/Tx1ijvtNWpI/AAAAAAAAAx0/1sBSaUOiXvE/s1600/ett....

I started off thinking I would follow a theme, then things just grew organically from what I bought from the thrift shops. That wraparound black skirt that didn't go all the way around? A piece of that white taffeta off that wedding dress bottom I liberated from a trash pile in my neighborhood, fold...

And just got my shipment confirmation email for my ticket. I think when it gets here I'll celebrate with a BBB sandwich (hold the bread).

And if you're planning on getting some work done in the Black Rock Bakery, like me, the sticks make excellent wedding cake layer supporters.

And Vaseline, apparently.

I for one am glad that gin and tonic is a clear drink.

I include myself among them, of course...

Something I didn't know: Quinine is responsive to ultraviolet light.

Yup, now if I can just cook up something to go along with these brilliant purple velour pants...

(if you listen carefully you can hear Zapp Brannigan murmuring "mmmmm...velour"....)

I am currently working on three outfits, with a bunch more that are really just, as the Monty Python show said, "Putting one thing on top of another thing." When I went to the thrift stores, I didn't think "outfits", I thought either "plain and ready to be decorated" or "zoWEE, that's awesome!" Thos...

Or these. http://media-cache-ak1.pinimg.com/192x/2c/ff/b4/2cffb4dfc0c5b030b0da177fa516d16a.jpg I am still very ignorant when it comes to clothes (comes from dressing to be invisible for 45 years), but one thing I have learned since deciding to go to Burning Man is that accessories can expand your ho...

Y'know, you're right....

Spats, while not being as practical, certainly have their charm...

With all the steampunk fashion, what about spats? I always did like the look, too. If you play them right, they cover laces. They should be tighter on top than this pair, but...

Those people who get married naked have the right idea.

Just have to concentrate on not setting anything ON fire...:) Found one more bit tucked inside the materials I rescued - a "lab coat" for a nail salon. It has the same look as that Oriental-style robe I got at Goodwill that was deep blue on one side and flourescent green on the other, except this on...

And then, what I thought was a failed bit of fluff turned out to be a flower girl dress turned inside out. Purple velvet with little white roses. I know there are places where you can bring outfits you don't need or want anymore. Do they have something like that for the kids?

Yeah, me too. It IS crazy heavy, though, and no layers to separate to make it lighter. The trim is something else. My biggest problem is I don't have a sewing machine. And synthetics shed like mad when you cut them. Hot glue to the rescue, I guess. I did notice with an earlier project (a vest made o...

I did figure out what that "thing" is - it's a wedding dress train that's about 12 feet long.
