Decking the halls

"Santa baby; slip a sable under the tree, for me..." Home alone this weekend, she could sing all she liked. Far from being a disney princess; the ones she had heard about anyway, those who sang or whistled and creatures of the forest showed up to do their housework. When she sang, they showed up alright, but tended to leave her home messier than they found it.

Rudi was one who always came to play for the holidays. She could never commit to plans on Christmas eve for some reason, but would show up late on the big day itself, pressing her shining nose to the window, looking for her Christmas dinner of spiced oats.

The 24th was still a way off, there was enough time between her decorating and all the training Rudi always seemed to start doing in the winter to take a day to relax. Warmed all the more by the fresh snow falling outside and the lights on the tree. She'd found the box of silly hats, and It's a Wonderful Life was just starting. It was going to be a great day.

La Malvada Mujer @ The Skin Fair 2015

This was a day Anna had been planning for years... She had admired the work of colleagues, had created a myriad of designs herself. Classes in school, followed by those in college, Anna had learned form, composition, technique. The works she produced were pastiche, she was told by instructors that this was the only way to learn, from the old dead masters.

 She could see the value, but felt so hemmed in by the styles of others, the thing she loved began to feel like a chore. The spark for her first change lit up the pages of her sketchbooks, cocktail napkins and margins of any newspapers that came her way.

Her artwork evolved, no longer imitation, she had found her inspiration. It came from everywhere, hidden patterns in a leaf, revealed only by a ray of sunshine, graffiti on the dank wall of the subway. It had taken so long to get it right, to distil so many ideas into one design. One work of art she would love forever, and to place the creation of it in the hands of another. Her dream, her vision, and the talent of her friend.

Hours under the needles buzzing, gentle yet insistent like the pain. Artists understood. Art had always hurt, drawn from the artist like blood onto whichever canvas they used, cave wall, canvas or the sistine chapel. Anna had big plans for her works, wanted as many people to see them as possible. Now she could carry them with her wherever she went, a living, breathing work of art.

[squeaky red]

As someone who actually has a 'latex'-folder with many subcategories in their inventory, I couldn't help but to snatch up this purdy huntgift of squeaky red goodness that is +DV8+'s contribution to the Dark Future hunt. You receive both outfits shown in the picture in one single hunt item, so there is no extra search to find a hot club-outfit for your boy- or girl-alt in addition.



The male item, Reznik (in firebrick) consists of shirt and pants, whereas the female prize, Merciless (in blood), features a futuristic looking bodice with shoulderpads, stockings and gloves. I'm always amazed how well +DV8+ manages to pull the latex look off, so this outfit will surely become one of my favourites in my Saturday-night-party wardrobe.
