Challenge One - Contestant 8
Ms. Vicious in "Bat Outta Hell!!!"
I was excited when I found out the theme for this challenge was goth because I have always been a huge fan of goth celebrities like Elvira and Siouxie Sioux. When I was in high school I got my first taste of sewing and crafting when I experimented with altering and adorning my own clothes to look more goth. This gave me the courage to tackle the other part of this challenge: the shoes. These shoes are the first pair I have made for myself and I am very pleased with how they came out. Enough about me, on to the outfit!
Meet Ms. Vicious, a headstrong, leggy, undead diva with a thirst for adventure and a hunger for fashion. Ms. V is christening these coffin kickers on the night of the full moon in honor of the goddess Hecate. They are hand-sculpted wedges fastened with a rhinestone-studded velvet strap and a seductive black ribbon. They go perfectly with her fringed and studded black satin halter-top adorned with an ankh for life everlasting. The top is attached to her lace cuffs by two panels of translucent, black organza that flutter behind her as she darts across the twilight. She wears the likeness of her favorite animal, the bat, in three locations, most notably wrapped around her hips as a studded belt. A stark white streak flows out from behind her bat tiara on the golden strawberry beehive that has been teased to ritualistic ascension. Her eye makeup has been enhanced to match her hand-painted and strung magic eight ball earrings that predict ideal flying conditions for the night. Her skirt and sleeves had more length after that wild night with the Wolf-Man. She now sports her battle damaged denims with wicked pride, carrying with them the memories and adornments from an eternity of rock shows in hell. The vest culminates in a massive, luxurious post-Dracula style collar using "re-vamped" embroidery and jewels from the back pockets of Satan, himself! Last but definitely not least, she's rockin' some fierce fishnets purchased from Ina Murphy at http://lapetitefashionpromenade.com.
