I hate minimalism.

Shwing

I have about 70 designs thus far and none that I really like...But I was just reminded of Xena Warrior Princess and how much of a righteous babe she was who happens to have AMAZING costumes. So hopefully now with her in mind, I can come up with something I will love.

Design Inspo

I saw Avatar again the other day - but this time instead of it being totally AMAZINGLY FANTASTICLY OH MY GOD HOLY CRAP WOW! I was looking at the costumes instead. I want my designs to be quite literally tribal.

ABOUT FACE

After I found these pics at 3am and then couldn't sleep because there was a boogey man under my bed... It made me feel totally ridiculous - like I was 7 years old again. If somebody is going to be wearing my swimwear, I don't want her to be feeling silly like a frightened child when she is a powerful, sexy and assertive woman. So i changed my concept. It is now about being the hunter. The wearer of my design will be a warrior, stalking the prey that once terrified her. The monsters in the dark learn to fear her - she feasts on their gnarled bodies and uses their skin and bones for clothing and jewels.
Roles have been reversed now and in a way - she has become a monster herself.

Feel the fear!

I love these! They are so fantastical and freaky! Exactly what I was looking for. The one with the monster hands coming out from under the bed relates SO well to my concept.

Liquid Illusions

I love these surreal dreamscapes. Salvadore Dali is so fluid in his painting -everything is like perfect rippling liquid smoke. His paintings are so beautiful, yet so horrible.
