No, I'm not depressed, it's just Halloween!
This time I want to play dress up in one of my favourite childhood movie, but I can't tell you which because if I tell you, you'll tell your friends, your friends are callin' me on the horn all the time, I gotta show up at shopping centers for openings and sign autographs and shit like that and it makes my life a *hell*. Okay? A living hell. I'm giving you just a little hint:
BEETLE....
....JUICE!!
Yes! Beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice!
This post is dedicated to my friend Mary Lou and to the beautiful dress she sent to me, she is a talented fashion designer and her latest creation: Die Die pretty darling die,this is the funeral of my heart-dress inspires me to make these collages for her
And here I am as Lydia Deetz with my new dress:
Oh no, the Bio-Exorcist again!
"Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified? "
I'm wearing Dress: Mary Lou's present
Collar: Accessories shop
Lace Skirt worn as a cape and veil: vintage
Belt : Lucy Nation's present
Jacket: old Ann Demeulemeester's collection
Hat: Vintage

Ooh, a perfect Halloween outfit and post! I haven't seen Beetlejuice for ages, I should watch it with the kids, they would love it.

ReplyDeleteYou're very beautiful like this Edie, I think Lucy is right, you should dress like this at least every Hallow'ene, if not more. Tim Burton films are my favourites for Hallow'ene, that's about as scary as I can go before it's too scary for me. xx
ReplyDeleteYou are my Christmas swapping partner, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
