Commissions, Soiree, School and Best Dressed



​
This was my first year doing Halloween Commissions!
I've always made my own costumes
(Consecutively since age 17)

So! I wanted to see if I could make more
also a few folks asked me,
I had left my job so thusly,
 needed income,
was ready,
especially,
to launch my name, website and brand.

Also this year I was hyper halloween obsessed
because, because because,
  
I missed

2
​
years


of a true

classic

U.S. Halloween...

dont click this
just scroll down

​..So with these reasons considered,
up, up, and away!

Into commissioning

I
​
​went!


They were challenging and beautiful.


Here's what I learned:
​
​​
1. Always quote higher then you expect to charge,
2. Buy massive amounts of material when working with a new medium,
3. ALWAYS INCLUDE A FITTING,
4. Start in spring.
5. End October 1st.
So next year,
​

I'll try again.

It's too exciting and rewarding not to.

Michelle's Commission​

Michelle is a loyal commission client
and
this year
she wanted to dress as... 
Picture
Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
Picture
She documented my construction process.
Picture
Here's her finished look!
Picture
She killed it!
​And there I am in the background.

Carter's Commission
​

Carter wanted to go as the Ghecko from PJ Masks,
the Disney Junior
TV show sensation
Picture
He's only two so the costumes they sell online would be too large for him.
Picture
I made his onezie out of the same fabric as Myle's clown suit.
Picture
Apparently he loved this onezie so much, he didn't take it off the first weekend it arrived.
Picture
We sure enjoyed playing with the 3 meters of fabric
​
in Cole Valley's

Costume Club.


​Soires
​

So I had a party where I gladly kicked people out for not dressing up.

Foreal tho.
It felt pretty astounding.
​
Picture
The Scooby Dooh costume
I gave Nick because he showed up causal.
You can see lil red riding good,
a cop,
her fugative, 
a mermaid,
and Vincent Adultman
all in attendance.
Picture
These are my appropriately dressed loves ones, 
Kat, Sydney and Matt.

All the homies, 
one's a model,
ones and artist 
​and one's an old roomie. 
​
​Dalya's in the back, 
and you cant see but she's
a sexy racecar driver.

1st place:
Hillary Clinton


Holding a severed Donald Trump head.

Note, this was about a week before
​we would know
the elction results.


Picture

This man dressed in all white,
comlete with pearl necklace,
and made his own donald trump head
complete with pipecleaner gore,
driping from his neck.

I was literally bowing down to this hillarious and
well though out costume creation.

Bravo, Sir!
