Happy Halloween!!!


Hello Bunnies!!

Halloween is our favorite time of the year, and as usual, we went all out.

This year, I went as Zombie Carmen Miranda, and Nick as my undead flamenco boyfriend.
My headdress was a very heavy 5 pound monstrosity completely handmade from 3 different hat bases, three scarves, a basket and a mountain of plastic and glass fruit, complete with little fake flies on wires. In retrospect, after an evening at the bar, I should have made this much lighter. As I write this, my neck is killing me!

My dress was a hodge podge of two different dresses and two skirts sewn together, with a pile of vintage bangles and beads. My makeup was done from scratch using pantyhose, glue, tissue paper and a whack of regular makeup. I a
lso made Nick's shirt, soaked it in red paint and fake blood, and attached an arrow to hit hat.

All in all, I'm pretty darn happy with our costumes.


Happy Halloween all!!!
XOXO

Hello from beautifully-autumn-colored New Brunswick!!


If you're in the area, get outside and enjoy the colors before they are gone and we are bombarded with mountains of yucky cold white stuff!

What's Lenora been wearing?

Hello bunnies,

The last few days I've been terribly sick with what I jokingly call Doom Virus 2011. The seasonal change usually triggers a hefty cold every year, and this year was no different. Luckily I am back up and running!

The only exciting news I have to share is that I was nominated and elected as executive Media Coordinator for our town's LGBTQI non-profit, River of Pride (who organize/fundraise for our yearly Pride festivities as well as promote and run education programs in the community). I've been wanting to volunteer my time now that I have more of it free, and this is the perfect opportunity to give back to a community that has given me so much support, friendship, love and memories over the years.

Not much else is new ,so, here are some of my recent outfits. Everyone likes a good fa(t)shion post , eh?








Lately I've been really into beehives, as at night I can't be bothered to pincurl my hair. I love fall and am happy to be able to break out my cutest vintage gloves, cardigans, tights and such.

What has everyone been wearing now that fall has set in? Any wardrobe staples? Scarves, tights, booties?

XOX
Lenora
